Following season after season of playing for numerous teams in the league, RJ Hampton finds himself working towards a roster spot as he competes in the NBA Summer League for the 76ers. However, he is also going viral after being called out for alleged physical abuse by his baby mama, Tiffany Jeffcoat. In response, several fans reacted furiously.
The video was uploaded by Jeffcoat on TikTok and shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by user Cxpium (@copiumx). Jeffcoat originally traveled 11 hours on a plane with their son Halo to meet with the Sixers guard. However, their interaction soon turned for the worse.
When Jeffcoat brought up the times RJ Hampton abused her, the NBA guard was unfazed and even admitted to doing such acts by saying, "Of course they did," in response to the accusation that the abuse came from his hands.

"Dude belongs on the Jazz," the fan posted.
"Ugh. Get him off the team, I don't want to become Charlotte. Also this is Maxey's childhood friend if I remember correctly. Obviously a million times more horrible for the woman but this must be tough for him," the fan posted.
"Get this washed loser out of the 76ers organization," the fan posted.
"F**k this bum," the fan posted.
The 76ers guard has not yet addressed the troubling video and his problematic comments.
RJ Hampton's ex-partner provided another update on her current situation
Following her argument with RJ Hampton, social media influencer Tiffany Jeffcoat shared more updates on her situation via TikTok.
"I am stranded in Oklahoma with no hotel, no car," Jeffcoat wrote. "RJ literally snatched Halo off the ground, walked out, hopped in the car and left. [He] didn't tell me where they were going ... didn't take back any of his stuff. He's not allowed to do that. ... Just had to get off the phone with the police."
"[He] didn't make sure that he had a pacifier, didn't make sure he had his lovey blankets or anything. [He] doesn't know when he last ate, doesn't know when he last slept. ... This just shows how little he cares about his child."
Aside from how she felt about Hampton, she was more focused on the status of her child. She was not fond of the idea that her son was with his father, who was not knowledgeable enough about the needs of his child.
She has already reported the incident to the authorities and continues to await proper action.
