It was reported last week that the Velveteen Dream was released from WWE, which followed a long absence from television. Dream, real name Patrick Clark, was accused of sexual misconduct including grooming underage boys and sending an explicit photo to an underage girl. In a post on his Instagram story (via Fightful), he responded to the news of his release as well as the accusations against him.
He wrote: “
The allegations from April 20, 2020, have effectively derailed any upward momentum I had professionally. And has ultimately resulted in my termination with WWE. My name is Patrick Clark, not the Velveteen Dream. Velveteen Dream is a character that I have spent years developing and trying to bring to life. The success of the Dream character relied heavily on kayfabe, my ability to blur Patrick Clark from Tough Enough with this over-the-top personality.
