This article will delve into the details about Cam Newton and Kayla Nicole.
Cam Newton and Kayla Nicole had feud before Special Forces
Before their time on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Cam Newton and Kayla Nicole had already made headlines due to their clash. It was over comments Newton made about women. In April 2022, Newton appeared on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, expressing controversial views on relationships. He said, “Now a woman, for me, is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. Right?” His remarks, particularly about cooking, led to widespread criticism.
At the time, Nicole, who was in a relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce, took to social media to respond. In a series of posts, she called out Newton’s comments. Nicole sarcastically suggested that he should date a Michelin-star chef if he valued cooking so much. She also voiced frustration with the idea that women’s worth should be defined by their domestic abilities, even addressing the issue during an Instagram Live session.
Newton later addressed the backlash, stating that he felt misunderstood. He explained that both men and women should understand when to speak and when to listen in relationships. He said, “You can’t expect so much from a person and give so little. … I should have said on top of what I also said and mentioned that not only should a woman know when to be quiet, a man also should know when to be quiet.”
Despite the tension at the time, Newton and Nicole worked alongside each other on Special Forces. They were challenged to push past their differences and work together in some of the most grueling conditions.
