Trinity Rodman, a prominent US women's soccer player, has been attending Wimbledon to support her boyfriend, American tennis player Ben Shelton, who recently advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament. During Shelton's matches, Wimbledon commentators repeatedly referenced Rodman's estranged father, former NBA star Dennis Rodman, and also mispronounced or incorrectly called her "Tiffany." Trinity Rodman publicly criticized the broadcasters for these remarks and errors, expressing frustration that her family background was overshadowing Shelton's performance. In response, the BBC issued an apology for the repeated name mistakes and the inappropriate mentions during their live commentary.
