R.J. Hampton, a basketball player in the NBA G League, admitted on camera that he left “bruises” on a woman who is the mother of his child.
On Monday, Tiffany Jeffcoat shared a video on TikTok of herself confronting the NBA first-round draft pick. She claimed he was trying to “take” their one-year-old son from her while traveling.

“Shut the f*** up talking to me, b****! Please!” Hampton said on the video, as their son, Halo, crawled near his dad’s feet.
“I don’t care if you got me on recording. I could care less.”
Hampton then said he was “afraid of” Jeffcoat, claiming he abused her.

“First of all, you have put hands on me before,” Jeffcoat replied, to which the 23-year-old basketball star told her, “Get the f*** outta here with that stupid s***.”
Jeffcoat, who has more than 1.5 million followers on TikTok, then told Hampton that she has pictures of bruises he allegedly left on her arms. The Delaware Blue Coats player seemed unfazed, however, arguing that no one was “going to care.”
“But they came from your hands,” she told Hampton, to which he fired back, “Of course they did. Did I punch you? Did I slap you? So shut the f*** up!”
“Just because you didn’t punch me doesn’t mean that’s OK,” Jeffcoat said.
During the video, Hampton also said that he didn’t care if his Jeffcoat’s mother was “dead or alive,” after the influencer said she was receiving help from her.
In another post, Jeffcoat said she was “stranded” in Oklahoma “with no hotel, no car” and alleged that Hampton “snatched” their son from her.
“R.J. literally snatched Halo off the ground, walked out, hopped in the car and left,” she claimed. “Didn’t tell me where they were going … didn’t take back any of his stuff. He’s not allowed to do that.”
The influencer said that she contacted police, but they could not help because it was “a civil matter.”
Hampton was drafted 24th overall in 2020 by the Milwaukee Bucks, but had his rights traded to the Denver Nuggets.
During his four-year career, he has played for the Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat.
He has averaged 6.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over his NBA career. He was traded to the Blue Coats from Capital City Go-Go last month.
