Trinity Rodman, daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, discusses the emotional and financial abandonment she experienced growing up.
The rising soccer star spoke to 'Call Her Daddy' about how she felt emotionally and financially abandoned by her father, a five-time NBA champion. The 22-year-old waded into what she described as 'new territory' by discussing her family in an interview on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast Wednesday.
Trinity Rodman, who at 18 became the youngest player drafted into the National Women's Soccer League and was essential to the Washington Spirit's success, is opening up about her complicated relationship with her father. But 'Rodman' is not exactly an unknown name to sports fans. Dennis Rodman was a five-time NBA champion, winning three of those with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s alongside Michael Jordan. At the height of his fame, the forward developed a rebellious reputation with an unconventional style and outlandish antics. 'I think in terms of the dad situation — in terms of what I've filtered and what I've talked about — I feel like me and my brother have been very generous with the way that we've talked about it and very unselfish,' she said. Dennis Rodman did not respond to NBC News' requests for comment Wednesday. She and her older brother, DJ, were born during Dennis Rodman's relationship to Michelle Moyer, but the couple separated when Trinity Rodman was still a toddler. The divorce was drawn out from 2004 to 2012. Trinity Rodman said that her mother struggled with money and that her father barely gave them enough to pay rent. 'Imagine living in a car going to a rich school; it was the most weird thing,' she said. 'We were living in a car, but then we could afford to stay in a motel for a little bit, so we were kind of back and forth.' Dennis Rodman gave a tearful speech in 2011 when he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, saying he himself never had a father. He seemingly expressed some contrition over being a bad husband and a bad father
