Overview
- On the It’s Giving podcast with host Sarah Fontenot, Newton answered yes when asked if a woman’s value gets lower with more children, saying, “women’s value gets lower the more children that they have.”
- Newton, a father of nine with three women, referenced telling one mother of his children that any future partner must be willing to love her five kids or “ain’t the guy for you.”
- The comments drew rapid criticism across social media and TV, with Real Housewives alum Monique Samuels blasting the take and questioning Newton’s judgment.
- Coverage tied the remarks to a pattern of past statements, including his recent Funky Friday claim that he won’t be around women platonically and earlier controversies about women’s roles.
- Reports also highlighted recent career context: BET canceled his 106 & Sports after one season, and Newton says he plans to put his show earnings toward a college football tailgate tour this fall.
