The retired NFL star having unconventional relationships is no shock, but in a current sit-down with Bishop T.D. Jakes, he delved into why he strikes the best way he does. During the interview, the podcaster revealed that he places his family members through checks to see if they’re “gonna fight” for him “for better or for worse.”
Throughout the episode of Jakes’ NXT Chapter Podcast, which was launched on January 5, the previous footballer talked about his views on relationships, marriage, and discovering peace. That led Bishop Jakes to ask Newton, “You’ve always had an audience. When all the audiences are gone and it’s just you, what’s going on in here [points to his heart]?”
“I’m at peace the most,” Newton replied. “But, there’s a lot of me that asked the question, ‘Are you gonna fight for me?’ Because when I was vulnerable to the Individuals—that’s family, that’s friends, that’s partners — ‘Are you gonna fight for me?’ That’s what I’m most scared of.”
He continued by referencing his romantic companions, explaining that the people he dates all need the luxurious components of relationships–costly weddings, honeymoons, rings–that aren’t talked about in the bible.
“Because everybody in love. Everybody want to walk down [the aisle]. Everybody wanna—everybody want to do all the festive marital stuff that the bible don’t even say,” Cam explained. “And I when I call it out I’m like, ‘Yo, the bible ain’t never mentioned no honeymoon. The bible ain’t never mentioned the ring. The bible ain’t never mentioned spending millions and thousands of dollars on a marriage celebration. The bible didn’t say a lot of these things, but if we’re going off of the bible’s accord, there’s a lot of worldly things that have crept into it.”
That’s when the podcaster explained that his “tests” are important in order to discover out if the people around him are there for the precise causes.
“So, now for me above all, going back to the most impactful vow, for me, I want to know without a shadow of a doubt, for better or for worse,” he said.
Newton went on to say, “But, don’t just walk with me when it’s for the betterment of you. And as long as people understand that… When you are hurt…” Jakes interjected, “‘Come get me.’” Newton continued, “I may tell you, ‘Man, get the hell away…’” Jakes said, “But don’t pay that no consideration.” Newton fired off, “That’s a character. See what I’m saying? But then some will say, ‘Oh that’s poisonous. Uhn Uhn. Miss me with that. It’s like no.’”
Jakes proclaimed, “Toxic masculinity. Tests.” Newton agreed, “Yeah, they got different words.”
“‘Will you come get me?’ It’s actually a check because your definition of love is confirmed by the other particular person coming to get you and that method you don’t have to fear about abandonment,” Bishop Jakes explained.
“I’ll take you through these programs just to see—this is the only method I can discover out,” the 36-year-old former NFL star said. “I mean you call it how I see it, man. My father ain’t raised no fool. And I done got fooled before.”
“So, for me, I need to sit up here and say, like, ‘Hey, hold on. I hate to do this to you, baby, I I gotta see you. You know what you got in me: the good. But, I really don’t know and that’s what I’m afraid of,” Newton explained. “That’s not to say that I can’t come along or come around to being that or everyone to perceive that it’s, like, yo this journey, It’s a journey. But, it’s lopsided until it’s not.”
As for the feedback part, it’s protected to say followers usually are not in settlement with Cam’s thought of dedication.
“Imagine stressing someone you love out on purpose and thinking it’s love,” one consumer wrote under a clip of the interview.
Another wrote, “Constantly testing people reeks of insecurity and validation seeking. This is prob from unresolved childhood trauma. He should get therapy, it really helps.”
