When gospel singer Tina Campbell discovered that her husband Teddy was cheating on her and, worse, he was having the affair with her good friend and employee, she was utterly devastated.
Campbell made the revelation during the Steve Harvey talk show on Wednesday.
"The person who it was, she used to work for me, and so, that broke my heart. She was like a godmother to my children," she said. "She had access to my home, to come get my kids, and all that kind of stuff. (She) was very intermixed in my family."
When the 41-year-old singer found out about their affair, she called her husband on the phone and demanded to speak to his mistress who was with him. The mistress picked up the phone, but she did not get the confrontation she wanted.
"She hung up the phone. So I had my answer. It broke my heart, it devastated me, so I spazzed out," Tina said. "I destroyed three cars, tried to stab and plotted murders and all kind of crazy stuff because I was angry. And I was doing all that like, 'Either I'm going to die wrong or live right.' So we've been working on living right."
Her husband's infidelity broke Tina's heart, but because she turned to God and decided to forgive her husband, they were able to overcome their personal crisis. She earlier told The Christian Post that God worked a miracle on her marriage, and she could not be more grateful.
"I know God opened up the Red Sea for the children of Israel; He kept the three Hebrew boys from getting burned up in the fire; He kept Daniel from getting eaten by that lion, [and] He also kept Tina and Teddy from a broken marriage and He did it in one year," she said. "That is a modern-day miracle. So anybody who can come to experience that God is still doing miracles, God is still proving Himself, the Bible is still real and it can still work in your life, I would think that anybody can be encouraged by that."
