here if you missed that].
Trinity did not accept...

She should also REJECT his last name as well, if her problems w/ him is THAT serious.
Either lose the Rodman surname or Refrain from dissing the man who's last name you PROUDLY Wear!
She just want media attention b/c soccer players don't make the $$$ other female led sports teams w/ stars on their team make.
Usually, I'm on the side of folks who wanna hold their absentee parents' accountable, but she's clearly doing this for the attention it gets making me sick and so tired of her already!
She should also REJECT them endz Dennis be providing for weaves and thangz.
Milk it while you can lil girl. He’ll be better with your kids. My father was. He explained to me he was out there getting it and as I got older I understand that.
At least she got a daddy.
^...whom she should respect if she's gonna wear his last name. I'm w/ @3:32 on this.
If he apologizes one more time on IG, she’ll give in. She just want some daddy love. Give it up Dennis. If you’d a did it when she was a young’on we wouldn’t be here now. Apologize again maaaaan.
My advice to her. Get a man. Call him daddy. (In front of yo real daddy)
She's getting plenty clout from this. The New York Times did a write up on this. Panama Jackson wrote a stupid piece on it.
Mission accomplished because this is the attention she wanted.
3:47 P.M.,
Why should Dennis have to continue apologizing to this disrespectful girl?
He apologized and she rejected his apology but refuses to reject the surname that's getting her the attention and fame.
Screw her. She needs him and his name, he don't really need her even if she is his daughter. She's an adult now and should behave as such.
It's not just his name, people. It's HER name too. Permanently. She don't have to give it up because he's an ass.
^It's only her name b/c it is HIS Name 1st.
Let's not forget, it's not Dennis Rodman talking sh*t abt her it's HER talking sh*t abt her pops, who'd apologized to this girl who REJECTED his apology Publicly! So, WHICH 1 REALLY is the Ass?
Rodman is her name. Dennis cannot take that away from her. Dennis' father was a deadbeat, too. Did Dennis reject his own daddy's last name? Stop being simple, people.
^You're the 1 "being simple" minded.
Dennis aint the 1 talking negative abt her she's the 1 being disrespectful & if she's gonna do that against the man whose name she wears proudly then she should dump his name & that will be the end of that!
Nobody told DR to take his name back from this ungrateful chick. She's the 1 being negative towards him, so she should dump his name too if she wanna be taken seriously!
Until then I dont believe any1's gon' take her seriously or see her as anything other than a leach off her pops for attention & fame!
What Dennis gave was a non apology. He took no responsibility for his absence, his neglect, nor the effect that it has on his offspring.
^How are you to tell someone a father how to issue an apology? who do you think you are to tell someone how they are to word their apology????!
i had no problems with how Dennis apologized because it's what a parent says when they don't know what the ungrateful offspring wants them to say.
He gave her THE NAME she Won't relinquish while talking shit about the one who gave her the name she's infamous for and HE MADE FAMOUS!
The child support payments he paid her mother paid for her education and a roof over her head so that she could become the soccer player she is today while wearing weave bundles in her hair, etc.
Dennis was a athlete, who had to do his job; No he wasn't a Stay-At-Home father because had he been, she wouldn't have the lifestyle she claims that she didn't have when I believe she did live better than most kids who dads had done even less than Rodman had for his children!
Bottomline: She should be grateful for what he did give her, RELINQUISH the Surname if His lack of a presence was THAT Problematic for her, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, STOP B8TCHIN' about the parent who's LAST NAME SHE WEARS PROUDLY ON HER JERSEYS!
Yo, I agree w/ Every1 who suggests Trinity stop rockin' her daddy's famous last name if she that mad @ him.
That Is All.
nobody said it better than @332
What name is she supposed to "relinquish" it to? It's her name and she can denigrate it if she want to.
Nepo babies doin' what they do: making money off the parent's name.
^So True!
@6:37 AM, She can't "denigrate" her dad's name that he's famous for and she wants fame for.
She can take her mama's last name. But, that won't give her the attention she so desperately is seeking from media about her most famous parent: Dennis Rodman.
Telling broken people how to heal with the person who inflicted the pain? She was brought up by two irresponsible parents. Her mother isn’t safe from criticism. Dennis is not entitled to her respect or forgiveness because he was a sperm donor. He was abandoned himself so why would her mother choose him as a partner? If he wanted a better narrative, he should have done better. Hopefully, she will give him a chance. She was going to make it in spite of being related to him. Never traded on his name. Claiming him is a distraction and may cause her revenue stream to dry up because of his negative persona.
But she isn’t disrespecting her mother. How about take her mother’s name and just move on from the man that was absent from her life.
Janet DuBois never told anyone her father was Cab Calloway. She didn’t want that connection in Hollywood considering who he was. He was a deadbeat. She never blasted him in interviews like people do today on social media for CLOUT!
And to add to my 11:22 comment.
When an adult child blasts their parent who is celebrated for their talent, make no mistake about it. It is with intention to destroy to cause pain that they felt and to change the public’s perception of that person.
When that is done be ready to get that same negative attention. Now, that you made it known it’s not your talent that you want to be to be focus, be ready to do interviews that shows your negative energy!
It is what it is.
Some kids if celebs have 0 talent but have no problem crying about their parent not being present due to them working hard to leave a legacy. This bytch will be the first one in line expecting to get money when Dennis Rodman hits the graveyard dirt!
She actually likes the world knowing Dennis is her father. What a childish pos, adult she has grown up to be. Why we never hear about the mother who was a groupie f’cking for the money. Hold your hoe ass mother accountable!
@11:13 AM, She's the 1 being negative and spiteful towards her dad, who don't need her forgiveness b/c she's grown asf now and no longer a dependent of his!
She acts as if Dennis is doing her a favor when she's the 1 using his name for her benefit!
I'm not gon go over everything you said b/c it was alot. I will say when some1's been abandoned by a parent don't always mean that they'll abandon their kids too. STOP THAT NARRATIVE RN b/c it's not always true.
@11:22 AM- MAN, I WAS A FAN OF JA'NET DUBOIS SINCE THE JEFFERSONS (SHE SANG THE FAMOUS "WELL, WE'RE MOVIN' ON UP" THEME) & GOOD TIMES AS WALONA & NEVER KNEW THE LEGENDARY CAB CALLOWAY WAS HER BIOLOGICAL DAD.
I WONDER IF JANET JACKSON KNEW THIS WHEN SHE CAST BOTH JA'NET DUBOIS (WHO PLAYED HER ADOPTED MOTHER ON GOOD TIMES) AS HER OVERBEARING MOTHER ON HER "CONTROL" MUSIC VIDEO, & HAD CAB CALLOWAY IN HER "ALRIGHT" MUSIC VIDEO.....
1:36
I’m not sure Janet knew because it wasn’t revealed until several years ago, which is many years after Janet’s video. Could be a silent secret. We know Janet is good at keeping secrets so you never know!
As for this Rodman girl. It’s just a negative look in her successful career to air this out. We get it. I’d rather have a retired Dennis than the NBA Dennis who was doing the most. She better hope she does not end up with the same type of man. They need to sit down and get off of social media with this BS!!! I will never watch her play or support her regardless of how absent he was.
^ I JUST GOOGLED IT & FOUND OUT THAT HER STEP DAD NAMED CAB CALLOWAY AS JA'NET DUBOIS'S BIO DADDY ON HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE. SO, I'M THINKING JA'NET DUBOIS MAY'VE KNOWN IT TOO. IT'S STILL AMAZING INFO TO LEARN ALL THESE YEARS LATER AFTER BOTH OF THEM ARE GONE.
ON TOPIC: I FEEL YOU ON BOTH DENNIS & TRINITY NEEDING TO HAVE A VERY PRIVATE CONVO OFF SOCIAL MEDIA TO FIND A SEMBLANCE OF PEACEFUL EXISTENCE.
I FIND SOCCER VERY BORING SO I WON'T BE WATCHING HER EITHER.
