Who is R.J. Hampton's baby's mother?

Tiffany Jeffcoat is R.J.'s former girlfriend and the mother to his child. She is an influencer, and in a recent video posted to her TikTok account, she can be seen arguing with R.J. in a hotel lobby.

The caption to the video explains that Tiffany traveled 11 hours with their son Halo so that R.J. could see him, but the tenor of the argument makes it clear that the former NBA player doesn't care much about that.

“Shut the f--k up talking to me b---h. Please," he can be heard saying in the video. "I don’t care if you have me on recording. I could care less. … What I’m afraid of as for who you are, like take it in and then fighting me off, ‘Oh my god, you’re abusing me.'”

Tiffany also alleges that R.J. has physically abused her in the past, saying “First of all, you have laid hands on me before … I have pictures of it.”

“Get the f--k out of here with that stupid s--t," he can be heard saying in response. Tiffany also said that the bruises she had came from him, and R.J. responded by saying, “Of course they did. Did I punch you? Did I slap you?”

The two then continued arguing about Halo, and Tiffany later posted a follow-up video in which she said that R.J. had left with Halo and she didn't know where they were.

“It is now 7:26 p.m. I have been sitting in the lobby since 2 p.m. and still no room, Halo’s still not back. Don’t know where he is. I hope he ate dinner. … Poor thing has been up since 5 a.m. His bedtime was an hour ago," she said in the video.

After Tiffany posted the videos, the NBA world came to her defense, and many said that they were disgusted by R.J.'s comments.

"The way he was talking to her is so disrespectful and disgusting! Poor baby Halo! I hope he’s well and safe. I can’t believe the police aren’t even helping!" one person wrote on Reddit.

"I’ve been waiting for this. I had no one to talk to about this. I completely missed the abuse part though wtf. ... When did she talk about it? That makes me so sad. I thought the cheating was bad, but he actually needs to be in prison," another person added.

There's no resolution yet to this situation. For the moment, almost everyone seems to be outraged on Tiffany's behalf.
