Dennis Rodman has lived one of the most outlandish lives in the history of North American sports. While he entered the league as quite the innocent man in 1986, he soon delved down a path of eccentricity and chaos that saw him mingle with 1000s of women, drink, party, and get in trouble with the law on a regular basis.

Along the way, he managed to get married as well. He has had 3 wives as of 2022, with his first being Annie Bakes. He would get married to longtime, on-and-off girlfriend, Carmen Electra, and would finally stay in a 9 year long relationship with Michelle Moyer.
Upon getting a divorce from Moyer in 2012, Rodman was ordered to pay $860,000 in unpaid child and spousal support. He unfortunately could not do so and his lawyer claimed the reason for this was because of his poor life decisions involving alcoholism.
Dennis Rodman compares himself to God while at rehab
Dennis Rodman has since gone to a rehabilitation center for his debilitating alcoholism on quite a few occasions. Each time he’s sworn off alcohol after the completion of his rehab and each time he’s fallen back into his old ways.
There was a time when he did go sober for an extended period of time, as he claimed the same on the Graham Bensinger show. Though, he found sober life to be boring and delved back into the world of losing your inhibitions.
In 2010, he would go on a rehab show hosted by Dr.Drew and Drew would go on to tell the story about the first time he met Rodman. According to him, ‘The Worm’ said to him that professional athletes like himself were a mere step away from God himself.
Quite the pedestal to put yourself on but fair enough.
Dennis Rodman is now on a reality TV show
VH1’s show, ‘The Surreal Life’ was brought back and the man headlining the show for the most part has been none other than Dennis Rodman. The sexagenarian has even gotten into a fight with Jada Pinkett’s ‘entanglement’, August, while on the show as well.
For someone who is as electric as Rodman, a reality TV show is exactly where he would thrive.
