Redeem now Yesterday it came out that Dennis Rodman is broke and "extremely sick."
As it turns out, Rodman's illness is alcoholism, according to the LA Times. In court documents, his financial advisor, Peggy Williams said:
"In all honesty, Dennis, although a very sweet person, is an alcoholic. His sickness impacts his ability to get work. This case, especially his wife filing for divorce, has put him on a binge that I have never seen before. He is extremely hurt and extremely sick. He is often unable to obtain work because of this sickness. And his sickness is getting increasingly worse."
