Dennis Rodman hit back at claims that he and his pals were involved in a heist at a yoga store this week following release of surveillance video allegedly showing what went down.

“We walked in and the next thing you know, the employee, I guess she was a female, we walked in and all you saw me do is one thing, this (stand still) ,” the 57-year-old retired basketball player told TMZ in a video shared Friday. “I just stood there. ” (RELATED: Dennis Rodman Arrives In Singapore Ahead Of Trump-Kim Summit [PHOTOS])

“And I asked them, ‘Can we take a couple of gifts for us and stuff like that?'” he added. “And the guy said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Okay, great.’ In exchange for, yeah, moving a crystal thing.”

Rodman continued explaining that the store owner allegedly asked him and his crew to move the crystal item. “The one thing I try to help. As a good person..I am.”

“I said, ‘Okay guys, let’s go over here and do one thing…and they called it a ‘heist,'” the NBA Hall of Famer shared. “They called it a heist…because guess what? That fucking company… they’re broke.”

When the outlet asked if he thought the whole thing had been just an attempt to “shake you down,” Rodman said, “You’re goddamn right.”

Rodman and company are accused of making off with more than $500 worth of stolen clothing and breaking and then allegedly taking a $2,500 crystal art item. Surveillance video of the whole thing can be seen here. (RELATED: Dennis Rodman’s New Christmas Sweater Involves Trump And Kim Jong Un)

“They gave us clothing. I didn’t need to steal shit,” the former basketball player argued. “They filed a police report and they said ‘Hey, Dennis, guess what? We aren’t going to charge you anything,’ because I didn’t do anything.”

The NBA star is currently on probation from a 2018 DUI arrest and did not seem worried that this alleged incident will affect it.

Newport Police Department confirmed to the outlet that they were was an investigation into the alleged incident but said nothing further.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
