Narrado por: Anicka Rodman

By the age of 20, Anicka Bakes was earning her living as a model in the fashion capitals of the world - Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. Beautiful, wealthy, but still innocent in the ways of the heart, she met a sensitive and talented athlete on the rise named Dennis Rodman. The two fell in love. In seven tumultuous years, their daughter Alexis was born, Anicka suffered from a tragic car accident ending her modeling career, Dennis and Anicka married, and the two engaged in many vicious private and some very public fights. Dennis Rodman, as the money and fame poured in, was revealed as immature, manipulative, dishonest, and abusive to his wife and child. Instead of living in a happy family with a loving man, Anicka went through seven years of living hell.

In Worse than He Says He Is, you'll hear Anicka's story about the young man from the ghettos of Dallas who became one of the world's greatest professional athletes, master showmen, and outrageous cultural icons.

Insightful on emotional decision-making

First off, this book is real talk. The author's narration really spells out her experience throughout the book. I know what it is like to be in a toxic relationship/addiction to false hopes with those that break trust and it goes on a cycle of giving too many chances. The transition point of when enough is enough is powerful, yet the cycle sneaks in unless you are firm to draw that line. I noticed after hearing this book that Dennis was on that cycle too by not dealing with his insecurities from his past traumas had caused him to make emotional decisions to lash out externally. This is as realistic as it can get when making the same mistake over and over again hoping for a different outcome. Overall it speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing!!
