Dennis Rodman is out being Dennis Rodman again. He’s being accused by a Florida man who invited him to his birthday party only to get open palm slapped twice, sending him to the hospital. The man, 30 year old Jeff Soulouque said Dennis “unprovokedly turned around and smacked him.” Immediately after it happened, he says Rodman apologized and offered to take him to dinner. Instead, he chose to go to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a left corneal abrasion and made a report with the police the following day.
The police have since followed up with a witness named David Lee Roth who coincidentally is NOT the Van Halen singer. “Roth stated he was about twenty feet away and he saw Rodman turn around and open hand smack Soulouque two times,” the report states. Dennis Rodman’s attorney Lorne Berkeley has a different account of what happens saying “I’ve spoken with people who were with Dennis the entire night of the alleged incident at Buddha Sky Bar. No one saw any such incident occur and Dennis was sober the entire night. Currently the matter is in its preliminary stages but we fully expect after a thorough investigation that no such incident will be substantiated. Dennis denies any such incident occurred.”
This makes for the second bizarre incident he’s been involved in recently as he was just caught on film allegedly making a heist from the yoga store VIBES in Newport Beach, CA. He was seen supposedly distracting staff while a woman stuffed a bag with clothes while his male counterpart tried to wheel a $2,500 crystal art piece out of the front door… except he broke it in before getting outside. The woman stole more items while the broken glass fiasco was being addressed, to which Rodman blamed the staff for. Overall, over $500 in clothes and the broken glass is the result of the day as well as a police report for theft.
The staff working that day said they all reeked of alcohol. Given that he’s currently on probation from a 2018 drunk driving incident, this could get quite ugly. And his attorney told TMZ about the incident, “We would decline comment. It’s premature.” That says all you need to know about what happened. And outside of being in North Korea playing footsie with Kim Jong Un, the last we heard him mentioned was when he appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and Sober House. He was drinking so bad it was showing in his skin. Apparently, things haven’t changed,
