Cam Newton had a passionate response when asked if he has platonic friendships with women during a recent episode of his Funky Friday podcast, and his BET co-host, Ashley Nicole Moss, had a hilarious reaction.
After a clip of Newton’s interview with Demetri Wiley circulated on social media, in which the former NFL star was asked about platonic relationships with women, Nicole Moss shared a blunt response. “Wellllll damn ... this is awkward lol,” she wrote after seeing what Newton had to say.
In the interview, Newton was asked if he had any platonic relationships in his life right now. “No! I'm not about to be around no woman platonically,” he passionately replied. Listen. “Because I'm not about to play them type of games. … Call it what you want. It may be self-control. If she fine, I'm not about to have her around playing like I don't think that she's attractive.”
He maintained that it wasn’t about not being able to behave around women he finds attractive, but the toll it could take on him. “But I'm not about to play them games,” he continued. “The game of saying, ‘Hey, we not about to be friends.’ I don't have good looking women that's friends around me. … I don't even have women friends, bro, respectfully.”
Wiley was shocked by what he had to say, and told him that he’s going to need a better explanation of why he can’t be friends with women. “I know me,” he said. “That means if I'm around a woman long enough, I'm going to find something good in her that attracts me.” Wiley then asked, “Okay, and when you're attracted, what then happens?” Newton, without hesitating, replied, “Sex.”
“So, understanding that, that I know what's to come from a platonic situation. I don't even play. No, I don't do that. Baby, you too fine for me,” he said. “We're not doing that. … I just told you I don't have no attractive woman that I'm cool with that I do not have plans on stabbing.”
