Bryce Harper blames FanDuel for Cameo controversy after reading sportsbook's name on camera

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper is scrambling to explain his role in Major League Baseball's latest sports betting controversy.

Harper finally broke his silence over a controversial Cameo video he recorded in November 2024 for gambler Terry Thompson.

Harper says he believed he was recording a holiday greeting.

Instead, the message landed in the middle of a lawsuit alleging FanDuel targeted Thompson, who wagered $18.5 million with sportsbooks and lost more than $1.5 million on the platform alone.
