Basketball player RJ Hampton is facing significant backlash after a disturbing video surfaced showing him verbally abusing his ex-girlfriend, influencer Tiffany Jeffcoat.

Alongside the verbal abuse, allegations of physical assault have also emerged. Hampton, a first-round NBA draft pick in 2020, was recorded in a heated argument with Jeffcoat, which she posted to her 1.5 million TikTok followers. The footage was filmed during an encounter where Jeffcoat traveled 11 hours with their young son, Halo, to see Hampton.

In the video, Hampton can be heard saying, “Shut the f*** up talking to me, b****," and dismissing the fact that she was recording him. Jeffcoat later claims she has evidence of Hampton “laying hands on her before,” insisting, “I have pictures of it.” Hampton responds dismissively, “Who the f*** is going to care about that... they're bruises."

Jeffcoat, stunned by his remarks, responds, “Just because you didn't punch me doesn't mean that's ok. Wow..." The video also includes Hampton making insensitive comments about Jeffcoat’s mother, saying, “I don't care if your mom is dead or alive, shut up."

In a separate clip, Jeffcoat tearfully explains how Hampton took their son without notice, leaving her "stranded" in Oklahoma. “I just had to get off the phone with the police," she said, adding, "This just shows how little he cares about his child."

Jeffcoat concluded with a warning: “Be careful who you have a baby with.”
