Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper addresses controversy involving a short Cameo video that FanDuel sent to a customer in November 2024. Harper says he did not know the “true intent” behind the use of his recorded message and states he would not have filmed the video had he known it would be sent in connection with the sportsbook’s marketing to a person dealing with gambling addiction. Multiple outlets report that Harper’s comments are his first public response to the matter.
Harper also characterizes the arrangement as lacking consent, saying he did not agree to the way the video was used. The reports describe the video as a 21-second message sent to a bettor, framed by FanDuel as a VIP reward. Harper’s position, as described across sources, centers on deception or misrepresentation about how the content would be deployed. The articles present Harper’s account without detailing any response from FanDuel in the provided summaries, focusing instead on his denial of any intentional involvement with the customer’s situation and his claim that he did not consent to the specific use of the Cameo recording.
