NBA star Dwight Howard, avowed Christian and father of five out-of-wedlock children [click here if you missed that], takes ownership of his paternity drama...
In an interview with Sports Illustrated Howard explains,
"I was ashamed because I’d talked so much about being a Christian, professed my faith to the whole world, and here I was with a baby out of wedlock. My parents judged me. A lot of people judged me. I felt like I shouldn’t even be out in public because everyone looked at me as a hypocrite. I felt like I didn’t need my relationship with God anymore, and that caused a lot of pain."
"It’s a tough situation, obviously. I should have been more responsible. I messed up. I sinned. But I won’t look at any of them as a mistake. They’re all a blessing to me."
