J.R. Smith Calls Out Cam Newton
Earlier this week, JR. Smith slammed Newtown, for asking “corny” questions about whether Howard, 39, was gay or ever intimate with men during his relationship with Royce.
“Respectfully this is hella corny Cam, bringing on a Black woman to kill a Black man is never cool, don’t care who’s right or wrong,” Smith wrote on Instagram, according to a screenshot obtained by The Neighborhood Talk.
“All clickbait ain’t good clickbait. This ain’t love,” he added.
Newton, offended by Smith’s comment, clapped back:
“Call it what you want. Respectfully… I don’t go back n forth in no comments… I ain’t hard to find sir…”
Reed Claimed Howard Was “Curious” About Sleeping With Men
The internet reacted with surprise following Friday’s episode, where Newton asked Reed—who had dated Howard for nearly three years and shares a teenage son with the Los Angeles Lakers player—if he had ever seen the NBA champion engage in “gay sh*t” with other men.
Reed, 44, told the ex-NFL quarterback that she thinks Howard may have been “curious” about sleeping with other men in the past.
“I have never witnessed him doing it,” the former NBA cheerleader clarified at the 1:26:14 minute mark, however when asked if she ever witnessed Howard in bed with another man, Royce responded:
“Yeah. All the time,” without hesitation.
Reed, 44, alleged that during COVID-19 quarantine with Howard, his children, and fellow baby momma Christine Vest, she saw him take mushrooms while in bed with another man. She described how they supposedly began “moaning and touching themselves,” sharing the details during the interview at the 1:29:00 mark.
“But they say that’s an effect of taking mushrooms. I didn’t take them. I pretended to but I didn’t. I spit them right out,” she continued.
“When this would happen, it was like, late. So they [the children] were done for the night, but again, I didn’t take it. I was of sound mind.”
According to the College Girls author, Howard had a particular type of man he would invite over, describing them as not overtly gay but rather “straight-ish.”
As you can imagine, Dwight Howard caught wind of the interview and was displeased.
