Carmen Electra describes exact moment she decided Dennis Rodman marriage had ‘to stop’

Carmen Electra decided to “stop” her marriage to Dennis Rodman because she was losing herself.

“It was just too hard to continue to keep up with him and his friends,” the actress, 54, admitted on the “Legally Goff” podcast Tuesday.

“It was constant drinking,” the “Baywatch” alum recalled.

Electra, 54, told listeners she “didn’t recognize [herself]” when she looked in the mirror.

“I had bags under my eyes. My face was puffy. I’m in my 20s! I thought, ‘It’s got to stop. It has to stop,’” she recalled.

“I just thought, ‘I’ve got to get away from him because what good is going to come out of this?’” she continued. “It was real love. It wasn’t a made-up story. It wasn’t a publicity stunt. It was real love. It’s sad but it had to end.”

The “Scary Movie” star said “there were times” after their breakup when the former Chicago Bulls player, 65, exhibited a softer side by “being really sweet and cute and cry[ing].”

“[He’d] want me back,” she remembered. “I would just give everything [he gave me] back — not everything. I kept the things that he gave me from when we were together but after that, I gave everything back. It was hard.”

Electra said she had to “move and change [her] number” to completely separate from the athlete.

“He would just come to my house and not leave,” she claimed. “He’d threaten to get naked again outside. I just didn’t want the police [to come]. It didn’t want it to turn into a big thing.”

Rodman’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “Meet the Spartans” star and the five-time NBA champion met in 1998 and wed in a Las Vegas chapel that November.

After nine days of marriage, Rodman filed for an annulment.

Electra and the former NBA star reconciled briefly but finalized their divorce in April 1999.
