MLB star Bryce Harper has responded to controversy surrounding a personalized video sent to Terry Thompson, a FanDuel VIP who lost nearly $2 million. The video, which featured a FanDuel logo, was surfaced following a lawsuit alleging that gambling platforms maximize addiction.
Harper explained via Instagram that he recorded the message through Cameo, a celebrity video platform, believing he was simply engaging with a fan. He stated that he read the provided script in good faith and was unaware that FanDuel would add their logo or use the footage as a gambling promotion. He emphasized that he did not consent to this use and would not have participated had he known the true intent or Thompson's specific situation.
