LOS ANGELES, CA — California Governor Gavin Newsom gave voters a rare glimpse into his tragic story while appearing on a popular basketball and entertainment podcast, recounting his tough childhood where he got in one little fight and was forced to move in with his auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.
Newsom told the previously unknown story to illustrate the challenges he faced as a disadvantaged youth, giving insight into how far he had come since he lived on the mean streets as a young boy to now govern the Golden State.
"This is a story all about how my life got flipped. I mean, completely turned upside down," Newsom said. "On the playground is where I spent most of my days, really. You know… chillin' out… maxin'... relaxin', all cool. Shootin' some b-ball outside after school. That kind of thing. But there were a couple of guys, and they were just up to no good. They started making trouble in and around my neighborhood. I ended up getting into one little fight, and my mom got scared, and she told me, ‘You're going to move in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.' That's when everything changed for me. Hand to God."
The hosts and viewers of the podcast were amazed by the story. "We had no idea, man," said host Matt Barnes. "That story sounds almost like it's made for TV or something."
Newsom acknowledged the fantastical nature of the tale. "I feel you, bro," he said. "But the cab I took pulled up to the house, I think it was around 7 or 8 or something. I told the cabbie, ‘Yo, homes, smell ya later.' The guy reeked, ok? Like bad. But anyway… there I was. I ended up in Bel-Air."

Omygosh! Next level!
I wish I could have ideas like that.
That’s some heavy street cred. Totally genuine, I’m sure.
The original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fresh_Prince_of_Bel-Air
The series stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teenager born and raised in West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, where his lifestyle often clashes with that of his upper-class relatives.
Dyslexic adulterous POS LIAR.
I cannot fathom how people like this guy. Hell, my own parents can’t tell me why they like him, and they do, a lot.
He don’t know squat! I grew up in da bronx from 7 to 12 years old. I learned to fight good enough where I was respected and invited back to party with my Black and Puerto Rican neighbors for years to come. PS we were the 2nd to last white family to move away from 170th Street and Sheridan Avenue.
I know. I live in Commiefornia. I’m surrounded by these morons.
My mom loved Clinton. I’d ask why. She’d say “he’s so cute 😍”.
Who’s going to beat Newsom in 2028? I see no one on the GOP horizon - unless Vivek somehow comes through.
Vance maybe because of Trump but if he squeaks by, I think he’ll be out like GHW Bush was in four years (2032) because he’s just another GOP politician with no vison or fire in his gut to bring the federal gov’t under the Constitution by dismantling the 80$+, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion the feds. BTW, that is the ONLY way to MAGA.
Individual freedom, not gov’t, but freedom FROM gov’t coercion is what made America great and will MAGA!!!
The boy in the greaseball haircut is a fraud. He’s had a silver spoon in his mouth his whole life.
How long has Trump and Vance been in office. You have no idea of who will pop up up or out over the next few years. Your comment is a little premature at this time.
Gavin Newsom was once listed listed among “Children of the Rich,”
he is the son of a well-to-do high-paid Getty lawyer,
And now he does a turnaround to enhance his political schemes.....
<><>says “he raised himself”
<><>says he survived “eating cheapo Wonder Bread and mac’n cheese.”
Is that what his wealthy dad and his relatives in pricey Bel Air fed him?
Excuse me while I wipe the coffee and snot off my phone. 😂
I realize this is a Bee satire article, but Newsom is such a pathetic cringe-worthy individual who makes normal people’s skin crawl, that satirizing him seems almost like taking candy from a baby. It’s like too easy.
I posted this on another section, but this song is appropriate for Newsom and his delusions.

After Reagan's VP GHW Bush? That was predictable.
After Trump's first VP Pence after 2020? That was predictable.
After 100 years of GOP politician candidates who were dinner for the Left???
These are people you are voting to take your money and rule over you. You BETTER have an idea of the kind of person you want, the sooner the better.
Generally, the only candidates I trust are nonpoliticians who distrust big gov't and want the feds under the U.S. Constitution.
The greatest threat to your life, liberty, and well being is the monstrous, mostly unconstitutional, illegal, and corrupt federal gov't.
This isn't premature, it is WAY PAST DUE!!!
Newsom was sent to live w/ relatives in Bel Air.
Bel Air is an exclusive and affluent area with a high cost of living and luxurious, large estates.
It offers privacy, scenic surroundings, and access to upscale amenities, and high costs.
A “good” place to live depending on an individual’s financial resources and lifestyle preferences.
