Carmen Electra was one of the biggest celebrities in the United States in the 90s. She and Chicago Bulls forward Dennis Rodman went out for a few years in what was a very public relationship.
Electra was featured in Sunday's episodes of The Last Dance, and the 48-year-old actress/model/singer admitted that dating Rodman — despite how fun it was — definitely posed its own risks.
"It was an occupational hazard to be Dennis' girlfriend."

Dennis Rodman and Electra went out for a while back in the late 90s. As a matter of fact, they actually got married for an extremely brief time. By brief we mean nine days. The two were wed in Las Vegas in November 1998, and a little over a week later, Rodman filed for annulment. Electra later revealed that she was going through a rough patch at that time, having lost her mother and her sister earlier in the year. She admitted that their decision to get married was on a whim and that in hindsight, did not prove to be the best thing to do.
For Rodman, this unusual turn of events transpired during his final season with the Bulls. Then again, you can't really tell what unusual is when it comes to Rodman, so this was probably just run-of-the-mill for him at that time. Despite being one of his many off-court distractions at the time (including a professional wrestling stint), it did not appear to have any effect on Rodman's basketball, as he still went on to help the Bulls to their sixth NBA title in the 1997-98 season, and the fifth in his career.
