The Washington Spirit and USWNT star called the four-time NBA champ’s apology “a joke” in a post on her Instagram Story, the NY Post reports.
“Nice repost,” Trinity, 22, wrote, including Rodman’s message. “A joke. The response alone. And the attention. Wiping my hands with it. I’m done. Thank you.”
Rodman sent Trinity, 22, a public apology in a post on Instagram after she was a guest on the latest installment of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast — entitled, “The Truth About My Family” — and discussed her difficult upbringing with Rodman, who she said was in and out of her life.
At one point, she recalled living in her family’s Ford Expedition because Rodman’s partying lifestyle with “random b***hes” wasn’t a suitable environment for her and her brother, Dennis Rodman Jr. to live in.
Trinity called Rodman “an alcoholic” and said she lost hope for a reconciliation after she didn’t hear from him following his surprise appearance at a Spirit victory during an NWSL playoff game in November 2021.
“I lost hope in ever getting him back, I answer the phone now for my conscience to be like, ‘He needed to hear my voice’ before anything happens,” Trinity told host Alex Cooper. “That’s why I answer the phone, not for me. He’s not a dad maybe by blood but nothing else.”
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, Rodman explained that he’s been stopped from trying to see Trinity and he won’t stop trying to connect with her.
“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,” Rodman wrote, including a video that showed photos of them through the years.
“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. 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. I’m here and I’m still trying pick up the phone you have my number, You see me calling, I’m still here Dennis RODMAN- Dad.”
Rodman went on to say that he was previously stopped from seeing Trinity.
“FYI: I watch you play All the time (actually flew in to watch you play and was told not to show up bc who I was with instead and me just wanting to support you So I watched you from my hotel balcony just to make everybody happy. I love All My Kids,” Rodman concluded, adding the hashtags, “untold’ and “(stories).”
Rodman is father to Trinity and her brother Dennis Rodman Jr., 23, from his marriage with Michelle Moyer.
He has a daughter, Alexis, 36, from his first marriage with Annie Bakes.
