During an interview with the Full Send Podcast, he was asked to comment about the various infidelity accusations against him. In signature Rodman style, he asserted that he wasn’t guilty. The reason being? He didn’t know the women were married!

I didn’t know them well,” Rodman said, “I didn’t feel guilty because I didn’t know they were married until I found out and I saw them with their husbands.

However, Rodman felt uncomfortable when he saw those women with their NBA players husbands. In fact, he revealed he has had to cut off friendships because of this. As a matter of fact, Rodman felt betrayed and forced into uncomfortable situations after suddenly discovering such facts.
