"Developed a gambling addiction" - Boggles calls out Fresh following his return
At one point in time, Fresh was undeniably one of the most prominent figures in the Fortnite community, renowned for his skillful gameplay. However, it seems that over the past few years, he has witnessed a decline, with his focus shifting more towards cryptocurrency.
Fresh announced his return to content creation with a teaser video featuring Lannan "LazarBeam," but Boggles criticized him on X, alleging a gambling addiction and a wasteful attitude despite his wealth:
"Displayed a persona to the public that he was borderline homeless and being moved around from multiple public housing units, he's dad was filthy rich and in Australia child support payments heavily favor towards the mother of the child."
He added:
"His gambling addiction stopped him from uploading and he only ever came back to upload for a quick cash grab always with an announcement promoting his next project."
Boggles further alleged that Fresh had initiated legal action against some of his fellow Australian creators, including LazarBeam, Lachlan, and Muselk:
"After becoming broke from addiction he then attempted to sue Lazarbeam, Lachlan and Muselk for abusive litigation and manipulation, you can verify this by searching up "Harley Campbell" on the NSW Online Registry website."
What did the community say?
Boggles' post about Fresh has garnered a lot of attention. Here are some notable reactions to the post:
