VIDEO: Trinity Rodman Says Her Dad Dennis Rodman Is A Deadbeat

According to Trinity Rodman, her dad, NBA legend Dennis Rodman, has been absent for most of her life. Despite his reported earnings of over $27 million in his basketball career, Trinity revealed that she had even been forced to live in a car at one point.

“He’s not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else,” she told host Alex Cooper. “Hearing his voice is painful.”

“We had (a Ford) Expedition and we kind of lived in that for a little bit,” she said. “We tried to live with him, but he’s having parties 24/7, he is bringing random b*tches in. He loves the spotlight. He loves the cameras.

“Before the divorce (from Trinity’s mother Michelle Moyer in 2012) happened, my dad was actually helping money wise,” she continued. “He would actually give money to my mom and let us kind of live life a little bit, but then when the divorce happened, it was just like, ‘F**k you guys.’

“I think he’s an extremely selfish human being,” she added. “I think everything has always been about him.”

“When he showed up at my game, I was, like, so mad,” remembered the Spirit forward. “I started crying on the field. So I’m trying to play the soccer game and I’m crying.”

Trinity herself has achieved great success as an Olympic gold medal-winning soccer player, representing the US Women’s National Team. With 10 goals and nine assists in just 45 appearances, she has proven to be a talented and influential player.

However, even with her accomplishments, Trinity’s relationship with her father has been strained. When she was drafted into the NWSL at just 18 years old in 2021, Dennis unexpectedly showed up to one of her playoff matches, having not spoken to her for months. This moment was captured and shared widely, giving hope to Trinity that their relationship might improve.

“I was so mad. I was like ‘You took this happy moment from me. You f**ked with my head again,’” she said. “I’m walking over there (towards Dennis) so mad, like ‘F**k you.’ I walk over there, he grabs my head and I just start bawling into his arms as if it’s a daddy-daughter (moment).”

Trinity then released an Instagram post in which she expressed hope that their relationship might improve.

“After that, radio silence. I didn’t see him for, like… until this year,” she told Call Her Daddy host Cooper. “Stupid me for thinking that was gonna be some type of new spark. That was me every single time. He would come around, and I’d be like ‘Okay, here it is again. We’re gonna start something. He’s gonna be around.’ Boom, months and months and months (without speaking to him). This time, it was years.

“I think after that was when I lost hope in ever getting him back.”

Despite all of her achievements and talent, it is disappointing and heartbreaking to see Trinity refer to her father as a “deadbeat”. This is a big lesson! No matter what, be there for your kids.
