NBA player R.J. Hampton has found himself at the center of controversy after a video surfaced showing him being accused of physical abuse by his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Jeffcoat.

In the video, Jeffcoat confronted Hampton about the abuse she claims to have suffered at his hands. Hampton, a former first-round NBA draft pick, appeared nonchalant and even admitted to causing bruises, when Jeffcoat referenced the marks left on her body from past encounters. This admission, coupled with Hampton’s dismissive attitude, shocked many who watched the footage.
The incident allegedly occurred when Jeffcoat traveled 11 hours with their son, Halo, to meet with Hampton. The meeting soon escalated into a heated argument, with Jeffcoat accusing Hampton of physical abuse. Despite her claims, Hampton responded with harsh language.
The video’s contents sparked widespread condemnation from fans on social media, with many calling for the 76ers to cut ties with Hampton. The backlash has intensified, and Hampton has yet to publicly address the controversy.
Jeffcoat provided further updates on her situation via TikTok, explaining that after their confrontation, Hampton took their son without informing her of his whereabouts. She claimed to be stranded in Oklahoma without a hotel or car, emphasizing that Hampton showed little concern for their child’s well-being. According to Jeffcoat, Hampton did not ensure that their son had essentials like a pacifier or blanket, nor did he know when their child had last eaten or slept.
In another part of the video, Jeffcoat reminded Hampton of the bruises she allegedly suffered from him. This statement further enraged viewers, many of whom took to social media to express their disgust at his behavior.
The video’s viral spread has increased pressure on Hampton to respond. In August, Hampton posted on Instagram celebrating his son’s first birthday. However, this image of a doting father has been overshadowed by the current accusations.
As of now, Hampton’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA remains uncertain. The team has not made any public comments regarding the situation, and Hampton has not issued a statement addressing the accusations or the viral video. The footage has put Hampton in a precarious position both professionally and personally, as fans and commentators continue to voice their concerns about his behavior.
This situation adds another layer to Hampton’s tumultuous career, as he struggles to secure a permanent spot in the NBA. For now, the focus has shifted from his on-court performance to the serious allegations he faces off the court.
