A woman was reprimanded, ordered to “shut the f*** up,” and acknowledged to having bruises on her body by former NBA first-round pick R.J. Hampton. The unsettling behavior was caught on camera. The footage of the 23-year-old basketball player was shared on Monday on the TikTok page by Tiffany Jeffcoat, a social media celebrity who has a child with Hampton.
Jeffcoat stated that she and their 13-month-old son had just made the 11-hour journey to meet R.J. when the video was taken at a hotel in Oklahoma.
R.J. Hampton’s drama caught on Camera
R.J. is heard in the video calling Tiffany “a bitch” before they start talking about what appears to be a recent domestic violence episode between the two. Hampton overhears Tiffany claiming that the bruises on her arms “came from your hands.”
Hampton replied, “Of course they did,” but then he went on to ask, “Did I punch you, did I slap you?” That’s what Hampton said when Tiffany seemed to agree that he didn’t: “So, shut the f*** up.” “My mom is more of a parent to him than you have ever been,” Tiffany said to Hampton later in the film, during an argument about a trip she had taken to Miami.
“I don’t care if your mom is dead or alive,” Hampton answered. “Shut up.” Hampton then instructed Tiffany to cover the cost of her own hotel room as the film came to a close. Hampton didn’t take any of the toddler’s belongings, she added, sobbing. She stated in the video’s commentary that she phoned the police, but they informed her that it was a civil problem. Tiffany said she had not heard from R.J. in a follow-up video that was reportedly shot hours later.
Jeffcoat did share a photo of the toddler resting on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, captioning it, “Thank you to everyone who reached out.” However, no other video updates have been shared. In a statement to TMZ Sports, the Delaware Blue Coats, R.J.’s current team and the G League affiliate of the Philadelphia 76ers, stated that “the organization is aware of the footage and is looking into the matter.”
The Milwaukee Bucks selected Hampton, a former five-star high school basketball prospect, with the 24th overall choice in the 2020 NBA Draft. Over the previous four seasons, he has worked for a number of NBA organizations, including Miami, Detroit, Denver, and Orlando.
