Teddy Campbell of “Mary Mary” is doing the absolute most!

 

This season of Mary Mary has been very successful. The first episode garnered almost 1 million viewers. This season is centered around Tina’s marital issues, and their issues with their manager of 2 years, whom they later on fire in the show.

Many people have had their opinions about Tina “putting their business out in the streets” like that, especially when you are a Christian. Yet here is my thing, a lot of people have it wrong. I thoroughly believe in transparency. I also feel like you could be sitting next to someone who is struggling with something that you have overcome, and you may be the person to help them get past it, but you can’t, because you want to hide the fact that you had problems before too. A lot of Christians have so much pride. They think that you are “more saved” when nobody knows your sins. Wrong. Christians are supposed to help each other. You maybe have the map to help the next person reach the other side to forgiveness, and understanding, but you are too busy worrying about “what will people think about me once they know what I went through.” WHO CARES. We are all human, we all make mistakes.

Now.. moving on..

Musician, father and husband Teddy Campbell says he felt overlooked in his marriage with Gospel singer Tina Campbell (of Mary Mary).

In a clip from the WEtv series “Mary Mary,” Campbell opened up about how unhappy he was in their marriage in 2012 — before he allegedly became unfaithful in his marriage.

“I’m not really that happy,” Campbell told WEtv. “I feel overlooked and you (Tina) have to change it.”

In the just over two-minute clip below, Campbell tells Tina “Lately I haven’t been as happy because there is so much going on with Mary Mary and when you come home, you can’t turn it off because you’re getting ready to get back up and do something else with Mary Mary. You never get a chance to come down off this Mary Mary high and it just don’t feel good.”

He went on to tell her “you never have time for us.”

Tina didn’t turn off the reality show cameras when she learned that her husband had been unfaithful. During an exclusive interview with The Insider, Tina said “all of it” is documented on their WE tv show “Mary Mary.”

“You get to see what it looks like to have to deal with adultery in your marriage,” Tina said. “And still have to live and still have to sing and be on stage and sign autographs and smile for people,” added Erica Campbell, Tina’s sister and singing partner.

Tina said she learned of her husband’s indiscretion after she had her last child. “I have to be honest with you,” she said, “When you’re in it, it is embarrassing. It is shameful, and it is like, ‘Oh my God, what have I signed up for?'” Though Tina forgave her husband, her family received more bad news a month later when her father died.

“I literally felt like the life was sucked out of me,” Erica said. Erica said she sings about tough times on her solo debut, Help, due out in March. “A lot of my music is about fighting through life,” she said.

“I’m tired,” Tina said. “I want to just breathe. I don’t want to do no red carpets. I don’t want to put no makeup on. I don’t want to put hair. I got to be super skinny. I don’t want it. Go.”

There’s more to Teddy Campbell’s infidelity than Tina Campbell really knew, and he’s ready to come clean on the next episode of “Mary Mary.”

So far, Tina knows that her husband has cheated on her, but she only thinks that it’s happened once. Unfortunately, that’s not true, he just didn’t tell her everything..

Teddy feels guilty about the fact that he hasn’t been completely honest with his wife about what he’s done. At first, he wanted to keep  the full extent of his infidelity to himself, but he knows he can’t do that. “I didn’t want to tell her about all of the affairs that I’ve ever had,” he told Tina sister’s husband, Warryn Campbell.

It sounds like he might have way more to tell “I need to tell Tina everything. I need to tell her it wasn’t just one affair that she knew about. There’s more,” Teddy said later in a confessional. “There’s countless affairs.”

Teddy’s brother-in-law seems surprised by the revelations. “Hearing everything that Teddy’s telling me right now is actually scaring me because I don’t know how Tina’s going to react to that,” said Warryn, admitting that Teddy had fooled him too. “I thought he told Tina everything.”

Find out what he tells her when “Mary Mary” airs tonight at 9 p.m. tonight on WE tv.

 

Campbell’s original confession of dealing with rebuilding a marriage after infidelity appeared in Ebony Magazine with some pretty real revelations.  In the June 2013 interview, she detailed her feelings about “trying to stab her husband” and cutting him with words to make him feel small. At that time, Campbell couldn’t see beyond the bad into what was to come for her. But in an interview with CNikki the WE tv reality star opens up on taking full responsibility for why her husband chose to step outside their marriage and about how she overcame that.

“I, Tina, assume full responsibility for the issues that I contributed to the relationship. I was controlling, talked too much. And you can never be heard over me because when I wanna talk I got the floor and ain’t nobody gonna get it from me until I give it up,” Campbell said.

 

Through the trial and tribulations, which she revealed for the third season of their successful Mary Mary reality show, she says that “she was glad the cameras caught it” so that other women going through similar situations can see that their is hope at the end of the tunnel.

“People are always referring to Christians as “not normal”—and I was like, we need to let people see what a normal Christian life looks like. I didn’t ever expect my pretty good life to all of a sudden become hell in front of the cameras.”

Campbell continues:

“You want your husband to be the man and to take his place, but because ‘I’m a strong woman, I’m a this woman and I’m a that woman’ we busy stepping on our man. Making him feel small. And you know what? I did that. And I take responsibility for that.”

Now that we have gotten through all of that. Here is where it gets real…

So, let me say that NONE of this surprises me. Why? Besides the fact that they have NO chemistry between, and you hardly EVER see them in the same room, let alone on the same screen together that much, his infidelities just reaffirmed what I said in my previous Mary Mary post.

Teddy was COMPLAINING that his WIFE kept getting pregnant. WHO DOES THAT? It’s not like Tina was some random chick that he was “seeing.” That’s your wife. It made me think that since he has 5 kids, (4 with Tina, and 1 from a previous marriage), he could possibly have MORE KIDS outside of that since he has had “more affairs than he can count.”

Teddy was the lead drummer of the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno for 4 years. But this year, when the “Tonight Show” decided to use Jimmy Fallon, Teddy was “let go” along with Jay Leno. I believe that Teddy is JEALOUS of Tina’s (consistent) success.

Please don’t get it twisted, men are INSECURE as well. His reasoning for cheating was because Tina “didn’t spend time with him.” Maybe, because she was out on the road, and earning a living through the Grace of the good Lord. You would think that he would be supportive of that? You can’t keep it in your pants obviously, and you need HELP. (Is that why Erica named “Help” her new album?)

 

Can I be completely honest? I have never felt like he was into Tina. Ever, well, at least since the show has been on air. I think it was convenient to be with her. I won’t go as far as to say that he never loved her, but if you have been together 13 years, and have 4 children, but you  have cheated “more times than you remember,” there’s a problem somewhere brah! Not to mention, one of the women he cheated with was a “family friend,” somebody that Erica, Tina, and their families knew! #FOUL #NASTY

 

I also feel like if someone (maybe one of the other women) wasn’t threatening him to tell, he probably would have taken this to his grave. Some women have no problem with their man cheating. I wish my husband would. He already knows what time it is. This is why as women, it is important to have your OWN STUFF. Your own career, money, life, friends, etc, even if you ARE married. I love my husband to the ends of the Earth, but he did not “MAKE ME.” He means everything to me, but he is not my everything. Get that?

So far, Erica’s solo career has promise. Her debut single, “A Little More Jesus,” was nominated for best gospel song at this year’s Grammy Awards (she shared the nomination with Tina because they co-wrote the song). Erica’s debut album, “Help,” will be released March 25, and it will get some extra attention thanks to Mary Mary’s hit WEtv reality series (the season three debut pulled in nearly 1 million viewers last month). It airs on Thursdays.

I’m not saying that Tina should divorce Teddy. I believe God can breathe life into any dead or diseased situation, no matter WHAT it is. However, I do believe that they should seek counseling. A lot of people shun that idea, but it is very helpful. Figure out what the issues of your marriage are, and seek the face of Christ. Jesus is the only thing that can and will make people change when they actively seek Him. Tina was hard on “Goo Goo” about her boyfriend, but her husband was doing mad dirt. “Sweep around your own front door…” Also, Tina saying that she takes the responsibility of Teddy cheating is BS. (Yes I said it.) You can’t make a man cheat. He did that on his own, and wasn’t thinking about you each and every time that he did it. Hold that man accountable and let him know that you are not playing with him. Your life and the lives of your children are not to be played with. He needs to get TESTED, and so do you. We can be saved, sanctified, and shout until I feet are swollen, but at the end of the day, it is what it is, and the situation has to be handled on a natural level. You sleep around, you have the chance of taking something with you, simple. It would not surprise me if he got someone else pregnant though. It wouldn’t.

When Erica and Warryn first talked about this (the scene where they were laying in bed), it seems as if earlier in their marriage, Warryn may have cheated on Erica as well, because they both made the comment, “when we went through what we went through.” Context clues, people.

Anywho, I really like Warryn and Erica together. They remind me of me and my husband. Marriage is not easy. It takes work, and you will go through some things that will make you question yourself, your spouse, and you will say one time or another “How did we get here?” It happens, but whatever your issues are, you have to be willing to work them out.

What do you think about the Mary Mary episodes? Should Tina leave Teddy? Do you think that he will be faithful in the future?
