Carmen Electra Reveals Why Dennis Rodman Marriage Was “Too Hard to Continue”

You don’t have to put Carmen Electra in a full court press for details on her Dennis Rodman romance. 

Nearly 30 years after the Scary Movie actress and NBA star divorced following their whirlwind, six-month marriage, she admitted that while she loved him, it was “just too hard to continue.”

“I just remember looking at myself in the mirror, I was at home and I didn’t recognize myself,” Electra admitted during a May 26 appearance on the Legally Goff podcast. “I had bags under my eyes. My face was puffy. And I’m in my 20s, and I thought like, ‘It’s got to stop.’ It has to stop.”

The now-54-year-old admitted she got introspective when it came to finally deciding to call it quits with Rodman, now 65.

“I would just walk in a bookstore and kind of blindly go, ‘OK, guide me and take me and take me for what I need to know,’” she recalled. “I’d grab another book and I’d just start sitting there and I just thought, ‘I’ve got to get away from him because what good is going to come out of this?’”
