Derrick Jaxn Interview - Explaining Himself | Part 1 | Dear Future Wifey Podcast S7, Ep706

[@viewfromthemancave1092]

Regardless of what you think of him I respect the brother for allowing the story to be told from both sides. In the end, this is a Christian based platform. Christianity is about forgiveness, redemption and reformation. If he wasn’t interviewed I would’ve been more shocked.

[@DearFutureWifey]

Exactly

[@JohannasHair]

Amen

Well put 💯

[@tyannforde2570]

Sure it's about forgiveness, but we also need to be real

[@viewfromthemancave1092]

@@tyannforde2570absolutely. The interview was very real. He wasn’t allowed to paint her in a bad light or make excuses. He provided context. And forgiveness, if given, doesn’t mean forget or be foolish. We still need to have a discerning spirit.

[@chitlinjuice]

I can't relate to a sociopath. He sat with a bold, straight face everyday appealing to an audience of naive, and thirsty women, only to be cheating on his ex-wife like a dog. I even remember the interview he did with K. Michelle when she said "Men are not good people." And he gaslit the heck out of that woman, saying "it's just the men you deal with"... As if he don't belong in that category himself 🙄😂

He was able to relate because he is that guy...he made a job out of warning other women about men like him! He still spoke truth, he never promised to be the good guy lol

[@deontaeb.]

To be honest, as much as I despise Derrick, but K. Michelle was honestly doing the most in that interview she was being resentful and bitter so what Derrick said to her was all facts even though Derrick is a piece of shit himself but at the same time K. Michelle was being childish & immature.

[@YoJoRockThaBeat]

Whether he is sorry or not, I don't think he is qualified to give anymore relationship advice ever again.

Question, and I mean no disrespect but what DOES qualify a person to give advice? Having a a degree? Having good or bad experience? Having being currently married or divorced? I really just don’t know what it actually needs to be

[@lifewithnatu]

Agreed

[@TinaB111]

Honestly, it's giving narcissistic damage control...but not my place to judge. I hope he gets help for the sake of his children and any future spouse. As a daughter of a narcissistic parent, this hits too close to home, it's triggering. They can be so charming in the public eye and so scary behind closed doors.

[@arianaways]

YOOO WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT INSANTIYYYY

[@daphney_elaine]

This interview was simply “damage control” for Derrick. Typical narc behavior to do whatever it takes to preserve one’s image. And while he took accountability for some of his actions, he still played victim at certain moments during the interview. I’m not saying that Da’naia was completely innocent, but her actions to be unfaithful were provoked by his initial unfaithfulness.

[@msiryn9151]

Yeah he came to save face AT ALL COSTS

[@kwameoluwasomi]

Unpacking his trauma's all good, but he's yet to answer for passing judgement on unfaithful men for a living, fashioning himself as the perfect guy and using that pull to continue beating in the background. THERE's real accountability.

It’s not our responsibility to forgive this man, we have nothing but social media minutes/hours invested in their situation. None of us are perfect.

[@electric5hadow]

Derrick logic. “Give me credit for the 25% of the time I wasn’t cheating. I WAS FAITHFUL.” This ninja 🤣😆😂

[@Adrienne.Michelle91]

I’m only watching this episode for Laterras. Anything Derrick Jaxn says will be taken with a grain of salt, and that’s being generous

[@1addedstipulation]

I hope pt 2 has more accountability. Derek should not be praised just because he is admitting some of his stuff, and so called "being honest." HE GOT CAUGHT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND IT MESSED UP HIS MONEY! He has to be forthcoming to preserrve his image and business. But he mishandled his wife with that "bonnet" Facebook live and then he got caught again. Yes, forgiveness is the key, but if you keep violating in the same manner, it speaks to a deep character issue. Yes, Jesus will fix us, if we let Him, but you gotta yield the issue to Him. Cmon Derek, get some real Christ centered accountability and have several seats.

[@tinaf600]

All of his mess was put on front street by him. He can't be trusted. I hope God forgives him. His grace is undeserved.

[@Antisatan7771]

Get out your feelings and quit the women bias. I don’t like his work or content but I was able to listen with an open ear. And now hearing both sides?? BOTH did each other wrong and immature in the whole situation. This is just purely entertainment it seems smh

[@LisaChanel0212]

Derrick is so good at manipulation that he’s even been able to get to Dear Future Wifey. Smdh. What a disappointment. He is a master manipulator and could never self reflect or feel empathy without long term ongoing intensities therapy to get to the core of his narcissism. I didn’t intend to watch this ONE but I’m hoping more people won’t be lured into Jaxn’s web and give him more narc supply via followers.

[@missvalisha]

Can we stop blaming Danea it’s not her fault that someone chose to cheat on her. “Be angry but sin not” I’m married and it gets hard and rough and sometimes even dirty tough and I choose faithfulness. Why? Because It’s not fair to her, my kids, or me to commit something that will tear down the very thing we are trying to build. He’s full of excuses. And that’s what he would say about the men that did exactly what he’s done. And then to do it again he’s definitely thinking with the other head and that is what you call selfish.

[@summerrain6125]

It's not her "fault" that he chose to cheat, but she is accountable for choosing to enter into covenant with a cheater and someone who's never been faithful to nor committed to her from the beginning (according to her own story).

[@excellentttt]

It was an absolute betrayal for Derrick to disclose that she endured another sexual assault, in such a cavalier way. Everything about this podcast felt glib and unbothered. It’s disappointing to see the interviewer ask questions that are clearly designed to get sound bites (“ when was the first time you had sex?” Really?!) and Derrick intellectualizing… we have so much work to do.

[@kyeethomas]

I was thinking the same thing because he sais he didn’t want to disclose but disclosed anyways. Very distasteful

[@Itisaboutangeltoday]

He makes you feel good but doesn’t help you GROW. It’s crazy to me that, despite showing the world that he’s the goofball many of us have known him to be, there are STILL women listening to his content and giving him the benefit of the doubt.

So the thing is… DJ didn’t just cheat on his wife; he deceived ALL of us by not being who he said he was. He is the boy who cried wolf. As much as I want all of us to grow and evolve and as much as I want to offer grace to everyone, I do not trust that his words will match his actions😉

[@ILuvMyBrwnSkin]

[@TheRealMsBlu]

No he deceived those who put him on a pedestal. He's just a man. His advice is still 💯 Women need to wise up & learn how to eat the meat and spit out the bones.

[@Lodeenie]

But did he tell us he was the guy he recommended we deal with? He definitely did not tell is his truth but I never felt like he was the ideal partner. Just a man telling truths that other men won't, like how my brother (who is a whole man-whore) schools me to game.

[@WhatIsHasValue]

@@Lodeenie 😂Well, regarding DJ, if he had said I have done all these things and that’s how I know men are playing you, then I wouldn’t say he was deceptive. But he did a lot of things to his wife he told us a guy who truly loved a woman, would never do. And then he came on the internet and professed his love and recommitment to his wife. And then he cheated again🫠. We all see how sincere he seems, but over and over again he has shown us that his words don’t match his actions. I think everyone is capable of living in true alignment, I’m just not betting my money on DJ today.

[@freshdesign2026]

You should better take that time to watch YOURSELF and your ways with the people in your life instead of watching D.J. He is not your husband or your brother. Please take it easy. We as Christians should learn to give grace to people. Jesus even on the cross, did it and so did lateras too. He allowed D.J. to defend himself, although he doesn't owe us anything. But as a public personality, he felt like doing it. So let's pray he finds peace and more stability and become even a better person than he is now. Let's behave like christians dear. Remain blessed.

[@forgivenesstrulyofficial]

It's amazing how he talks about her "cheating" in DETAIL, with exact locations, place she was working, etc, and yet when he talks about the 100s of women he reportedly slept with, he brushes over his stuff. Just like "Karen" is a thing, I think "Derrick" should be a thing.

That is not the perspective of someone who genuinely understands their wrong. I’ve been married - and after divorce, had to say “this was 100% my part”..and end it there. True “repentance” is accountability minus the culpability of the other party. Great interview Laterras. You provide space for people to feel safe. It’s needed.

My abuser is just like DJ ( I don’t have proof of any physical cheating) but these type of men are very strategic at storytelling, charismatic, and know all the right things to say and what what faults to share to appear humble. and yes they have wounds and troubles from their childhood that will make anyone for sympathy for them. That’s how us fixers gets deceived. But most “faith filled” ppl will do is throw the blanket of blame on both people.

Interesting how he glossed over trying to be a good man by being a provider, being there for the baby etc knowing their primary issue was of him cheating to begin with. Yes, she may have had trauma, but he really never addressed how he would "will" himself to not cheat on her. I guess it may come out in part 2.

Listening to both parties show how important it is for people to heal before marrying. Marrying is a commitment and vow before God. We take it so lightly and treat like boyfriend and girlfriend. I am 34 and not married and I am working through my trauma because I don’t want my marriage to pay the price. Myles Munroe said a lot of people are broken up not because they don’t love each other but because they lack knowledge to make the relationship work. These two broken individuals got together requiring each one of them to be responsible for each others healing. 😢😢😢. I hope they both truly face themselves and heal and so in the future can they can properly love someone because they have mastered how to love themselves. 😊

[@freshdesign2026]

How would you know... So broken people can not experience real love? Well... i do not agree. Jesus gave us HIS LIFE which is the highest form of LOVE to us, BROKEN people. We are short coming in thousands of ways... yet Jesus loved us. Some of us are CRIMINALS who have killed other people, but HE still came through for us! Therefore, i would argue that even BROKEN people can still experience REAL love among themselves because love is a gift from above and it has NOTHING to do with once being worthy of it. How they handle it, might differ from one individual to another. Some will reject it like some of us REJECTED the love of CHRIST. It still doesn't negate the fact that jesus gifted us with TRUE love. SO did aneya and D.J. They might have received the gift of TRUE LOVE. What they did with it, is up to them.

[@esbizzze]

@freshdesign2026 Of course, broken people can experience real love. Like you said, it's what they do with it. When you continue to use that as a weapon against each other and don't deviate, then you may want to consider that it is not divine. At least not from the most high. I wish you healthy wellness. Who has not been broken at some time? The point is to ID the source and work to save yourself. Not continue to ask for more of the same from that source.

[@freshdesign2026]
