"At least 50 times. I've jumped off a building, jumped off a cliff in a car. I've been in bedrooms when women came in with knives and guns"
About this Quote
It also works because it’s disarmingly unpolished. Rodman doesn’t give you a clean arc of trauma-to-redemption. He gives you fragments, the way people actually remember crisis: in flashes, in locations, in objects. That messiness becomes its own credibility. The sentence structure is almost breathless, like he’s still outrunning the moment.
Culturally, Rodman’s persona was marketed as joyful transgression - hair dye, piercings, tabloid romance, the “bad boy” who made rebellion look fun. This quote quietly flips the brand: maybe the chaos wasn’t performance but proximity. The intent feels less like confession for sympathy and more like staking a claim over his own myth: you can laugh at the costume, but you don’t get to pretend the stakes were fake.
