Former WWE star Velveteen Dream has denied allegations he secretly recorded his fellow wrestlers in the bathroom at a party.
The 26-year-old wrestler – whose real name is Patrick Clark – has responded after fellow WWE NXT alumni EC3 (Michael Hutter) made claims he taped wrestlers while urinating without their consent at a party in 2018 or 2019.
Clark was released in May 2021 following backlash after being accused of having inappropriate online conversations with and sending inappropriate photographs to underage fans, which he has vehemently denied.
Responding in a lengthy Instagram Live video, Clark said: ‘EC3, you go out here, after I give you the best match you’ve ever had in your entire career. You got out here and, I’m tired of people throwing dirt on my name, you throw dirt on my name by saying I tried to record you in your bathroom.
‘Let’s be honest. You’re leaving out a lot of details. What were we doing that night? What type of powder was on the table? Let’s be real. Let’s not leave out all the details. We were all drunk, you were p***y drunk because you were in your place.’
In Hutter’s interview, he said the night in question was a ‘late evening partying’, adding: ‘There were a few cocktails shared, who knows what everyone else was on.’
Clark claimed he accidentally left his phone ‘on the bathroom counter’, and said Hutter made assumptions because of Clark’s flamboyant Velveteen Dream character at the time.

He continued: ‘I left my phone on the bathroom counter and because you were not sure of my sexuality at the time because of the character I played on TV and because we’re not friends in real life, at all.
‘You try to accuse me of recording you in your own home. I went to our mutual friend who no longer works for the WWE, a former NXT talent, and I showed him my phone and had him go through my photos and videos, and my recently deleted, just to prove to you and the other person that was there – who I respect him and he has a job, I’m not going to put him out there.
‘I had him prove to you that I was not recording you.’
Earlier this month, Hutter accused Clark of trying to record people in the bathroom without their permission during an explosive interview with Sportskeeda.

‘He left his phone in my bathroom with the camera on trying to capture people taking p***es, so there. How did I know? Because it’s my bathroom. When I walk in there and I see a phone selfie-style, propped up, on, filming, where if somebody is going to take a pee, they would have their phallus out urinating into the water,’ he alleged.
‘What I did was I took the phone, I stopped the recording, I made sure the pee pee video of my wee wee was deleted because that was happening in my home, by the way.
‘So delete, put it back, turn it back on so it looked like it was still happening… ha ha, the big elaborate ruse… I walk out of my own bathroom because this is where I live, I sit on the couch, I go and I wait, and he goes right back in the bathroom. I go back in right after that… phone’s gone.’
Meanwhile, Clark was arrested twice last month, including on arrest on August 20 for charges of first degree battery and trespassing on property after a warning, which are both first degree misdemeanors.
A week later, Clark – who pleaded not guilty – was arrested for a second time, this occasion for an out of county warrant for ‘possession of drug paraphernalia’.
