Once a cheater, always a cheater? Derrick Jackson’s wife disagrees

Once a cheater, always a cheater? Derrick Jackson’s wife disagrees

Wife of relationship coach and author Derrick Jackson, Da’Naia, is

responding to criticism for staying with her husband despite his history of

infidelity.

The Christian woman appeared alongside Jackson in a recent video

where he admitted to cheating on her because of a breakdown in his relationship

with God, alcohol abuse and depression.

In the video, the couple said they’ve been in an on-and-off relationship since they were 19, and got married in 2018. Da’Naia said he had cheated on her previously, and she told him before they wed that if he did it again, she would leave. That’s exactly what she did early last year when she found out her celebrated husband hadn’t changed his ways. However, she said she took him back in late 2020 after he proved that he had changed his ways by the grace of God.

But viewers can’t seem to overlook other aspects of the video,

like Da’Naia’s simplistic bonnet appearance in comparison to the tight

sweater-hunk presentation of her husband, him squeezing her hand throughout the

seven-minute video and the emotionless glare in her eyes as he seemed to

over-explain to save his brand.

Da’Naia has clearly been living in the comments section and

yesterday addressed all that people had to say.

“I’ve come to confront the issue that says you cannot be

healed, that it takes this amount of time for you to be healed, that you have

to be depressed, have anxiety, hide your face, once a cheater always a cheater

(laughs), you are this, and we are this… Well, those are lies from the pit of

hell cause what we don’t understand is there’s a spiritual war going on.”

She said her husband has already been delivered by God and is just

lying in the bed he made. She seemed to take a jab at the women who have

recently exposed Jackson, saying, “No weapons formed against us shall

prosper.”

She also addressed those who claimed she must be tapped out of the marriage to appear on camera without getting made-up.

“I never had a desire to come and speak to the public in this

capacity and being attached to someone who is a great public figure, a great

orator who presents himself well can be a lot to deal with especially with

coming to the world who says you have to look a certain way, you have to sit up

proper some way, you have to articulate yourself a certain way, you have to

wear your hair a certain way, you have to do all of these things which I’m not.

I don’t meet up to that, I don’t care about these things…that is not my

ministry. I’m gonna be who the Lord has told me to be.”

Overall, Da’Naia hopes to be a living testimony that God can heal

and repair anyone and any situation.

“I’ve come to confront and to reveal the plot and the scheme

of the enemy that says you cannot have this, you cannot be healed, you cannot

be set free, you have to stay in bondage, you have to leave, you have to

divorce… Just because something is dead does not mean it cannot be

resurrected by the blood of Jesus Christ and that is what He did in our

situation.”
