Early life
Aida was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Dominican Republic was taken shortly afterward. Her mother kidnapped her from her father in the Dominican Republic as a child and took her to the United States. In an attempt to shield her from her mother's boyfriend, her grandmother and uncle would later kidnap her from her mother's house in New York and take her to Florida. Her uncle was later discovered to have been killed in a hate murder. She attended Florida State University where she met her future husband, 'Omar Ellison.' She studied English and law but then dropped out before graduating because she became pregnant. IMG, a modeling company, had her work. Ellison and Ellison divorced later.
After her divorce from Ellison, Rodriguez and her two children moved to Los Angeles in the early 2000s. She went back to comedy for healing after an episode of anorexia and a divorce. For a time, she and her children were homeless and lived out of a car.
