Long before Cam Newton and Kayla Nicole were co-stars on Season 3 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, the two were briefly embroiled in an online feud. Back in 2022, Newton made controversial comments about a woman’s place in the home — and Nicole fired back. “A woman, for me, is handling your own, but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs,” Newton said on the Barstool Sports Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of, ‘I’m a boss bitch, I’m a this, I’m a that…’ but you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead.” Nicole then took to Twitter (now X) to slam the former NFL star’s comments. At the time, she was dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
