During theCall Her Daddyinterview, Trinity detailed how she and her mother, Michelle Moyer, and her brother DJ, struggled financially when her parents divorced, explaining that they lived in an SUV for a period of time and would see him “once, two, three, four times a year.”

Moyer filed for divorce from Dennis in 2004, but marriage was not dissolved until 2012.

“Before the divorce happened, my dad was actually helping money wise. … He would actually give money to my mom and let us live life a little bit,” Trinity said. “When the divorce happened, it was just like, ‘F— you guys.’ … We’re getting enough money to pay rent, barely.”

The Washington Spirit star cited her father’swell-publicized struggles with substance abuseand “parties 24/7” that were a constant issue in her childhood.

“He’s an alcoholic. That’s something that I don’t want to say, but I’m just like, f— it. It’s just the truth,” she said.

Trinity also bluntly admitted that currently she only answers her father’s calls for her own “conscience,” should something happen to him.

“I want to know that I did that. Or if he needed to hear my voice before anything happens,” she said. “That’s why I answer the phone, not for me.”
