NBA G League player R.J. Hampton is facing the prospect of disciplinary action after admitting on video that he bruised the mother of his son.
In a now-deleted video that was uploaded to the TikTok account of Tiffany Jeffcoat, Hampton’s former girlfriend, the social media influencer confronts the 6-foot-4 star about trying to take their son while they’re traveling in Oklahoma.
“Shut the f— up talking to me, b—-, please!” Hampton can be heard barking at his ex, as their 1-year-old son walks around the two of them.
“I don’t care if you got me on recording. I could care less,” he added.
Hampton, 23, was drafted originally by the Milwaukee Bucks as the 24th overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft, according to NBA.com. In September, he was sent down to the Delaware Blue Coats, a professional basketball team in the NBA’s G League.
Further along in the video, Hampton told his ex-girlfriend that he was “afraid” Jeffcoat claim would claim to the police that he abused her when he took their son.
“First of all, you have put hands on me before,” she replied, to which Hampton told her, “Get the f— outta here with that stupid s—.”
As she held the video recording device, Jeffcoat told Hampton that she has pictures of the bruises he allegedly left on her arms in a previous alleged altercation. Hampton, however, said that no one is “going to care.”
“But they came from your hands,” she yelled at Hampton.
Hampton retorted while pacing back and forth in a hallway, “Of course they did. Did I punch you? Did I slap you? So shut the f— up!”
A stunned Jeffcoat said, “Just because you didn’t punch me doesn’t mean that’s OK. Wow.”
Things got vicious verbally when Hampton also said that he didn’t care if her mother was “dead or alive.”
In another TikTok post, Jeffcoat, who has nearly two million followers, tearfully explained to her audience that Hampton got up very early in the morning and took their son while leaving her “stranded” in Oklahoma “with no hotel, no car.”
Jeffcoat continued, saying “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.”
Jeffcoat said she sought law enforcement assistance, but claims the police said they couldn’t get involved in a “civil matter.”
After the video went viral, Hampton turned off the comments section of his Instagram page.
Ironically, just last year Hampton discussed dealing with trolls and off-the-court issues on his “Young Person Basketball Podcast” with fellow Dallas native and 76ers star Tyrese Maxie.
