Dennis Rodman Is 'Broke,' Suffering from 'Drinking Problem' (ABC News)Enlarge Photo
Alcohol addiction and declining marketability have sidelined Dennis Rodman and rendered him unable to pay an "unjustified" amount of child support, representatives for the former NBA player said today.
Rodman's manager, Darren Price, told ABCNews.com today that the former Chicago Bulls' rebound star has a "well-documented drinking problem, and all the stress from the divorce and not seeing his kids isn't helping. As people know, it's a daily struggle. He has good days and bad ones and good weeks and bad weeks."
While Rodman isn't in an inpatient treatment program, Prince said, "He does see a counselor from time to time."
The Los Angeles Times reported that Rodman's attorney Linnea Willis said Rodman "is broke and cannot afford any additional fees," in court papers filed today. She also said he is "extremely sick."
The filing came in response to allegations from the attorney for Rodman's third wife, Michelle Rodman, that as of March 1, Rodman owed $808,935 in back child support for the couple's 9- and 10-year-old children and $51,441 in back spousal support. He was previously ordered to pay his ex-wife $50,000 per month for child support.
Willis said in a statement that "even the wealthiest celebrities in the world" would not be ordered to pay $50,000 a month, and while Rodman hasn't been able to make payments of that amount, "it is absolutely untrue that Mr. Rodman failed to pay child or spousal support.

When freaks jump the shark....
Whoa, you’re right.
I forgot he was on. Got him mixed up with Rodney King.
I remember that. Good thread. heh
Is this “Deep Ellum” in Massachusetts, Texas or elsewhere? There are several of them. Thanks.
Dallas Texas, big underground party area for the who’s who.
He is a nut but in a kind of good way. Back in my drinking days I hung out with him. He could drink. One thing he did not like to do was sign autographs. Another odd thing were his calves. I've never seen another human with calves like his. They looked like they should have been on a grasshopper. Hard to describe but the way his muscles were made were just strange looking. Alien..
>>CONWAY IS STILL ON KFI, 640<<
*whew* I really like him. He has his dad’s wit and a great touch on events of great moment.
Thanks, Doug.
(btw, I gave up and quit California — now in Irving, TX for a lot of reasons, some political, some practical).
Getting laid off sucks. The obama economy slinks on...
If I can help, FReepmail me. I am in I/T and my company is always looking for good people (we are global).
Can you image if a link between tattoo ink and cancer were found? We might see a whole generation die off.
Heh! One of the strangest fellows in the NBA.
Ain’t that the truth!! Especially since they SHOULD know how finite their careers are.
But I guess I’ve never been rich and famous. And probably...never..will be.
I’ll drive, I don’t drink.
Heh! I think that he is still trying to figure that out!
This has to be whitey’s fault.
