The public fallout continues between former basketball star Dennis Rodman and daughter, Olympic gold medalist Trinity Rodman. Now, after the elder Rodman attempted to mend fences with his soccer star daughter earlier this week, the Washington Spirit forward stated plainly that this apology is not accepted.
It all started with Trinity's Dec. 18 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. In her interview, the 22-year-old didn't mince words when it came to her father's parenting. "He's not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else," she said honestly, lambasting his partying lifestyle while she and her siblings were growing up. "He’s an alcoholic," she added. "That’s something that I don’t want to say, but I’m just like, f--k it. It’s just the truth."
Dennis shared his thoughts on the matter in a subsequent Instagram post. "Sorry I wasn’t the Dad you wanted me to be, but either way I still tried and I still try and never will stop. I will keep trying even when you’re being told as an adult not to respond to my phone calls. I will try even when it’s difficult and if it takes a long time," he wrote. "I’m always here and tell you all the time—rather, it’s your voice or voicemail—how proud I am. I always had one wish and it was I wish my kids would call me and come see me. Hopefully one day I can get that."
With her father's apology now out in the open, Trinity isn't entertaining the idea of making up with her dad. "A joke," Trinity said of the post that she reshared on her Instagram Stories, per TMZ. "The response alone. And the attention."
"Wiping my hands with it," she concluded. "I'm done. Thank you."
