The statement by a self-proclaimed pastor on TikTok encouraging ladies to have six boyfriends as backup is both controversial and troubling. It promotes unhealthy relationship dynamics based on mistrust and superficiality rather than mutual respect and commitment. Relationships built on the notion of having “backups” undermine the values of loyalty and genuine connection.
The comment on Instagram, “I support pastor Eddy,” endorsing this idea further normalizes such unhealthy behaviors. Supporting this kind of advice encourages a culture of infidelity, dishonesty, and emotional instability in relationships. Instead of fostering meaningful and respectful bonds, it promotes a mindset of constant replacement and insincerity, which can harm individuals and lead to toxic relationship patterns. Relationships should be based on trust, not contingency plans.
