If everyone were like Tina Atkins-Campbell, 40, of the award-winning duo Mary Mary, popular snooping apps
like “Connect,” “Trick or Tracker,” and “Phone Tracker,” wouldn’t have a prayer of being downloaded.
Even though her husband Teddy Campbell has gone on record admitting he cheated multiple times with
various women, the missus says she doesn’t snoop on him.
“I’m not that chick,” she told Sister 2 Sister Magazine in an exclusive interview. She and her sister Erica Atkins-
Campbell are featured on the cover of the urban publication’s June/July issue.
“I think too much of myself to be a detective behind some man. And if I’m going to trust you and give you a
chance, I’m going to give you a real chance and a real chance is not holding your hand and micromanaging,”
she said.
When it comes to secretly prying on a spouse, a 2013 UK study by Mobile Phone Checker, a cell phone outlet
company, revealed that men are more likely than women to look through their partner’s phone without their
knowledge.

Interestingly, of the more than 2,000 individuals who took part in the study, 89 percent of those who admitted to
cell phone snooping said their motivation was to make sure that their partner was not cheating or talking to
anyone else in a romantic or sexual way. (Source)
But, according to Atkins-Campbell, her professional drummer spouse’s past infidelity is the furthest thing from
her mind these days.
She told the magazine “All of my trust has come back. I love my husband more than I ever did. I am deeply in
love with him”—something that has left her family “amazed” and shocked.
Perhaps the red-haired gospel artist doesn’t feel the need to play detective due to her husband’s openness
about all that transpired.
“Everything I ask my husband, everything I’ve required of my husband through this process, every single thing,
he did it,” she said.
“I know every explicit detail of every single thing with every single affair. Every woman can’t handle that, but for
me and the stage that I’m gonna be at in my life, I needed to know.”
Although things turned out well in the end, initially, having such thorough insight into his indiscretions was
tormenting.
“I was tortured. I was tortured dealing with that information, but guess what? I forgave every bit of it, and I love
my husband immensely,” she continued.
“I love him with all the passion that I have, and I trust him. I believe everything that he told me and I believe in
him, and only God can do that.”
In the WE tv reality couple’s case, snooping had nothing to do with the unearthing of the affairs in the first place.
In the May 2013 issue of Ebony Magazine, where the story was first published, it was revealed that the former
Late Night With Jay Leno drummer decided to out himself to his wife before the devastating news of his sexual
relations with a longtime family friend leaked another way—on the Internet or through the grapevine.
“Once I became aware [of the affair], I initially wanted to kill my husband,” the outspoken singer told Ebony. “I
was considering adjusting the will, the living trust and all that kind of stuff.”
But now, that anger and resentment is a thing of the past.
