Trinity Rodman

like that day is shitty for people that don't have father figures so for us like our coping mechanism for it was posting our mom like happy father's day thanks for being both and that was that's no disrespect to the father figures like still a day to celebrate dads and fathers but for us that's our dad that's our mom and our dad in the weirdest way and even just comments like that like don't disrespect him like that it's like that's not disrespect he's not a dad why he's a person he's not a dad maybe by blood but nothing else

I'm just, like, not going to give a fuck, honestly. Like, that's how I feel, though. Because I watch interviews back and I'm like, ew, why do I look so scared? Like, this is, like, my story. Right. And, like, there are times where he gets brought up where I'm just like, yeah, like... Yeah, he's like, I know he's proud of me. Like, and I'm like, ew. Like, just say how you feel.

And even sometimes I wish I, like, when people ask, oh, like, is he going to come to one of the Olympic games? I don't know. And other, like, I'll dodge it and I'll be like, oh, like, my mom's going to be here. I'm going to give her a hug. And I'm like, great answer from a PR team. Perfect answer. Right? In reality, like, not to be a diva, but I'm just like, I want to be like, I don't know. Yeah.

How am I supposed to know? and that's it that's that's the end true you make me feel uncomfortable I'm gonna make you feel uncomfortable and I feel like I've been so comfortable being uncomfortable and I'm just done you're fucking done obviously there's been like I think the rise of your career has been fucking incredible trinity like you're so fucking talented in your own right and

You know what's funny about this is that like I literally just figured out what it affected. Like I would say a week ago. What did it affect? I think... My love language is affection and, like, physical touch. But I think that's because I never got that from my dad. And I never got that type of love. And because of that, he didn't show that to my brother either.

So my brother's very similar to my dad in the way that he loves. Like, he's... I don't want to say cold, but he's not a lovey-dovey, squishy person in a relationship. So I don't get that from my brother or my dad. So I think... the way that I am in relationships.

Yeah, I think. my first relationship, I think obviously first relationships are always like kind of a, what is love? What are we doing? Yeah. Um, I think then I was extremely insecure in myself and I kind of let the person walk all over me in a sense, but again, I don't regret any relationship. I think they've all helped me so much and I'm still cordial with like everyone that I've been with, but

I put up with a lot because I didn't have validation. So I feel like it's done a 360 now. But I would say I was really insecure and let a lot of shit slide back then. Like what? Like hanging out with... The boys, right? Love that sentence, right? Right? Oh, we're hanging out with the boys. Okay. Fuck off. But it'd be like hanging out with the boys.

And I'd be like, damn, I wanted to hang out with you tonight. And happens. And then there's like 10 girls there. I'm your girlfriend. What do you mean? And those are also not... the boys. So just something like that. And even that was the weirdest thing. It was that my brother was best friends with him. So my brother was there.

So it was a push and pull with him of like, that's my best friend, but you're, my sister's crying all the time. My sister is sobbing. Get it together. I learned a lot from that relationship. I think that was great. And like, even with that, we were still like best friends in the weirdest way, but I learned a lot. of things of like, I'm not taking that shit.

And I think that then helped me in my next relationship of like, I felt most confident in my next relationship. And then it was a different struggle of like, I'm so confident and I'm so happy That now I'm like too reliant on this relationship. And now I'm like isolating myself from everybody else because I'm like addicted to the feeling that he's given me.

Like the love and affection and like you're beautiful and all this stuff. So that was just another issue that I had to work through.

how have you learned throughout the years to just like stabilize your own reality and like keep your bubble as safe as you can when all the rest around you is kind of moving it's obviously so it's just so weird and it's like so hard not to be hurt by certain things like reading things getting updates through media and then people ask you and you're like you probably knew before i did or you probably honestly know

more than I do. Like it's so, so, so weird. Or just like little stuff like him not being in my life and then like, Other people, and I'm not throwing shade at anybody, but, like, I remember Angel Reese had wore his jersey to a game. And then there was a picture of them. And, like, he is a really famous basketball player. And, like, style-wise, everything. Like, inspiring.

But I think as a daughter, seeing that, it's like, no shade, but it's like, damn, I wish that was me.

I wish I was taking a picture with him I wish I was wearing his jersey like when I wear his jersey I feel like it's not like holy shit but like when Angel Reese wears it it's like Angel Reese is wearing Dennis Rodman's jersey and like I think that's like a a sting to me and I don't want to sound like bitchy at all because again statement like pop off but for me as his daughter it's like

Dad, what the hell? Like, it's just weird. No, it's like... And those are the things you have to filter. And it's like, okay, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

I don't know. I feel like it's really hard to celebrate it in the weirdest way. Like one, because it's just nonstop all the time. And like, I'm so grateful for every opportunity, but sometimes I'm just like, I wish I had a moment to take a breath and be like, I did that. Like, holy. So to say like, who do I celebrate with? I, I don't know because I don't think that I really do.

Like, obviously like I, I'm happier. I'll watch a clip of like the Olympics, the goal. I'm like, oh my God. Like, ah, but it's little moments like that. Like it's just rewatching a clip of something, but I don't think genuinely I really think or celebrate myself. I think it's more so, especially in interviews and stuff. It's like, how proud are you? And it's like,

it's such a copy and paste answer through every interview. It's just like, I can't even find the words. I'm so proud. I'm like a robot. I'm like, I'm so happy. Like I, like it's indescribable. I'm 22 and have a gold medal. And it's like, even in those moments, it's like genuinely deep down. I feel so proud of myself, but it's so repetitive and so like robotic that I, I don't think of it that way.
