Special Forces team Cam Newton and Kayla Nicole's feud explained

It turns out Special forces costars Kayla Nicole and Cam Newton having crossed paths (at least virtually) before their time in Wales.

In April 2022, the defender, now 35, drew eyebrows for his comments about women during an appearance. A Million Dollaz Worth Playing Podcast.

“Now a woman, I think, can handle your stuff, but knows how to satisfy a man's needs. Right?” Newton said. “And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic, 'I'm a boss bitch, I'm this, I'm that.' No, baby! But you can't cook. You don't know when to shut up. You don't know how to let a man lead .”

Nicole who met Travis Kelce used Twitter (now known as X) at the time to address the remarks.

“The obsession with women's ability to cook is truly comical. Because it's like if your palate is so great, meet a Michelin star chef, then the bozo. Pretty sure the average woman can cook edible food. How do you think she has survived so far? tweeted the influencer.

In a second post, Nicole added: “It's really not a question of whether she can cook – rather she wants to cook for your hungry hippo ass.”

Nicole continued the situation via Instagram Live, captured by TMZ Sports: “I think it's silly that we have to keep having such a tiresome conversation about what makes a woman essential. This man said you have to know how to cook and be quiet because ​​that's what his mom did. Like a boy, then go meet your mom.

The next day, Nicole clarified her claims.

“I have no 'beef' with anyone. I have beef with the idea that a woman's worth is reduced to what goes on the dinner plate,” she wrote. “This narrative was shared publicly on a podcast, it's important that it be shared denounced. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to order some postmates.

Although Newton did not address Nichols directly, he claimed to have been unfairly “tested” at the time.

“You cannot expect so much from a person and give so little. … I should have said in addition to what I said and mentioned that not only does a woman need to know when to shut up, but a man also needs to know when to shut up,” Newton said in a YouTube video. “Whether it's someone you need to be a person — a man or a woman, you have to be. And I think not going in like I should have paid off.

“I have daughters,” he continued. “When the day comes when my daughters look back and say, 'Damn dad, what did you really mean by that,' I'm not going to think and say, 'Well, that was just taken out of context.'

Newton has eight children, including three daughters, with several different women. Most recently, he and his girlfriend Jasmine Brown In 2024, they welcomed a baby girl.

Meanwhile, Nikola and Kelce broke up for good in 2022 after five years of dating. He started dating Taylor Swift in the summer of 2023. On Special forcesNicole has spoken about the backlash she's received from Swift's fans, but she also complimented the Grammy winner.

“I really like her,” Nicole said in the second episode, referring to Swift. “I think she's very talented.”
