Soccer star Trinity Rodman shot back at her father, NBA legend Dennis Rodman, after he apologized to her for being absent from her life. In a since-deleted Instagram post, the elder Rodman wrote, “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,” adding: “I watch you play All the time.” Now, the Washington Spirit forward is calling BS. “A joke,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “The response alone. And the attention. Wiping my hands with it. I’m done. Thank you.” Rodman had opened up about her estrangement from her father during an appearance on the podcast Call Her Daddy. The basketball star, known for his wild lifestyle, separated from his daughter’s mother when she was still a toddler, according to NBC News. Rodman said on the podcast that her dad surprised her at a game in 2021, but she didn’t hear from him again until recently. “I think after that was when I lost hope in ever getting him back,” she said. “It was just going to be, like, he’s popping in whenever he wants to be in a camera.”
