Angela Simmons on Awkward Cam Newton Date

Remember that time Angela Simmons and Cam Newton were linked? Well, the details are finally out, and it turns out their brief 2011 encounter was more awkward than romantic. In a recent episode of “Funky Friday,” Simmons sat down with Newton to revisit the night, and she revealed the major turn-off – the “ick” – that ended any potential sparks.

The Date That Never Was

Simmons explained that a mutual friend set them up for a dinner at a diner. While they sat down and talked, the vibe quickly shifted for Angela. The main issue? Cam spent the entire evening making jokes that he found hilarious, but she didn’t. “You were patting yourself on the back and laughing,” Simmons recalled, describing the behavior as feeling “arrogant.”

She admitted that she was ready to leave early on, thinking, “Oh, I’m ready to go. I promise.” The jokes just weren’t landing for her, and the self-congratulatory laughter was a definite deal-breaker. It sounds like a classic case of someone being in their own world!

Cam’s Perspective and Patching Things Up

Newton, now looking back at his 20-year-old self, seemed genuinely surprised by Simmons’ account. He joked that he might have been experiencing an “out-of-body experience” due to nerves the night before his NFL draft. He even questioned if the mutual friend who set them up was real, leading to a wave of memes about his memory.

Despite the awkward start, Simmons clarified that they did eventually patch things up and became friends. However, she was quick to point out that they never actually “dated.” For her, the night at the diner was the end of any romantic possibility, leaving her counting down the minutes until she could leave.
