Trinity Rodman won the gold medal with the American national soccer team at the Paris Olympics. Now she’s talking about her famous father, basketball legend Dennis Rodman. She chooses devastating words.
Olympic soccer champion Trinity Rodman has spoken with devastating words about her relationship with her famous father Dennis. “He is not a father. Maybe biologically, but nothing else,” the 22-year-old said of the former basketball superstar during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. Trinity Rodman continued: “Hearing his voice is painful. I think he’s an extremely selfish person.”
In the interview with podcaster Alex Cooper, Rodman’s daughter harshly criticizes her 63-year-old father and accuses him. “We never really asked for anything unless we really needed it,” said the international, who plays for the Washington Spirit. There were times when she had to live in a car with her mother.
She thinks Rodman never understood that people just wanted to be around him and make him happy. Rodman himself has not yet commented on his daughter’s comments. The US broadcaster CNN said it asked the former basketball superstar but received no answer.
“I find it difficult to approach people who are close to me. “It’s difficult, even though I love her inside,” Rodman once said.
Trinity is the daughter of Rodman’s third wife
Trinity Rodman was born in California in 2002. Her mother, Michelle Moyer, was Dennis Rodman’s third wife. However, the relationship didn’t last long. Moyer mostly raised their two children, including Trinity and their son DJ (born in 2001), alone.
Rodman, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame and one of the best defensive specialists in basketball history alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls, caused a stir on and off the basketball court as a so-called bad boy. Most recently, his friendly relationship with Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s ruler, made headlines.
