Cam Newton recently found himself at the center of a heated debate regarding his personal life. Newton, a father of eight children from three different women, was recently confronted by Dr. Cheyenne Bryant for what she perceives as “selfishly” creating “broken” homes.
This confrontation happened on Cam’s podcast where Dr. Bryant expressed her concerns about Newton’s approach to fatherhood. She criticized him for not taking responsibility for the consequences of his actions and highlighted the potential impact on his children’s well-being.
This confrontation has sparked a broader discussion about the complexities of modern family structures and the role of parents in creating stable and supportive environments for their children. While some have come to Newton’s defense, arguing that he is providing for his children financially and emotionally, others have pointed out the challenges that can arise from having multiple co-parenting relationships.
When Bryant asked if the former NFL player wants more children with more women, he replied, “I just want God to bring them. My point is this: my desire to get married is lower than my fear of divorce.”
He added, “As you would say it — you said it, I didn’t say it, I will agree — I’m just taking my time,” referring to Bryant’s earlier statements made during their conversation.
The psychology expert and life coach challenged Newton’s idea that it was ok to continue having kids with multiple women by telling him he was creating broken homes.
“You are proactively choosing where you want to be active at and where you want to take your time,” she began. “You want to take your time in having a wife because of your own fears, but you will — and I say this will all respect and love — but you will selfishly create broken families. Even if you’re in their lives and you’re a proactive father — and I believe you’re an amazing dad — but these families are still broken. Every child cannot have papa in the house with them. So, some child, if not all, will end up with some kind of deficit without daddy being there.”
Dr. Bryant continued, “Now, you chose to do that — not saying that you woke up one morning and said, ‘I want to be selfish today, so I’m going to go make a baby.’ But those are selfish acts at the expense of your fear.”
Newton listened and nodded as the psychologist argued why creating multiple kids in different homes wasn’t healthy.
“So, yeah, that is low-functioning behavior: to say that I’m going to build these houses and put these beautiful kids and beautiful women in them, but I’m not going to create a home, and then I’m going to wait until I dissipate my fear to find a wife — who I’m still going to be fearful with because there’s no such thing as not having some type of nerve or feeling behind marrying somebody, who you’re spending your life with — and then build a home with her while all these other beautiful babies have houses. That’s completely unfair and it’s selfish,” she concluded.
The confrontation between Cam Newton and Dr. Cheyenne Bryant has sparked important conversations about parenting, family dynamics, and the impact of personal choices on children. While there may be differing opinions on the matter, what is clear is the need for empathy, understanding, and support for all families, no matter their structure or circumstances.
