She reflected on her romance with 53-year-old Rodman during a segment on Oprah's show, Where Are They Now?

Carmen said she was age 26 and on the set of her first movie when she learned that her mother had a brain tumour.

'And literally a couple of days after coming home, she died,' Carmen said as she was overcome by emotions. 'I just went into self-destruction.'

The Date Movie star soon met Dennis and their roller-coaster relationship started.

'I remember meeting Dennis and Dennis was the life of the party. He was fun,' Carmen said.

She started drinking and people close to her couldn't understand why she loved him.

'He had a reputation for being a bad-boy. What I saw was a gentle giant in a lot of pain. We understood each other,' she said. 

‘Our relationship was very passionate. When it was good, it was amazing. And when it was bad, it was the worst.'

The couple married in 1998 in a chapel in Las Vegas and split up about a year later.

Carmen said she was watching Oprah's chat show when the host said that 'in order to heal, you have to feel' and it 'clicked' that she had not been dealing with her mother's death.

'I had made my life chaos and blocked that out. It took quite a bit of time, getting myself back together,' she said.
