United States women’s national soccer star Trinity Rodman aired out some things that were on her mind about the attention she’s been receiving for supporting boyfriend Ben Shelton at Wimbledon this month.
One of them included not appreciating the ESPN broadcast for bringing up her father, the polarizing ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman.
Trinity wrote an Instagram Story on Monday, where she said she didn't like her personal life being discussed at Wimbledon, which came during the fourth-round match between Shelton and Lorenzo Sonego.

"For Ben’s matches he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad… my dad’s not even in MY life no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine," Trinity wrote on her story. "It’s him and his loved ones’ moment. Thank you (thumbs up emoji)."
Trinity also seemingly called out the ESPN team for mispronouncing her team.
