The Fallout: Former One True King Owner Resigns Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
In a significant turn of events, Rich Campbell, the owner and co-founder of One True King, stepped down following accusations of sexual assault. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t have been worse, as the news broke while he was hosting a WoW Race to World First stream for Echo. Unintentionally, Campbell created a viral clip when he abruptly left the casting set after checking his phone.
The Twitch clip has garnered more than 445,000 views. While many viewers are focused on Campbell’s reaction, his co-host on the couch, Preach, is frustrated that his face is being widely shared for the wrong reasons.
Preach, expressing his frustration on his personal stream today, struggled to find the right words to convey his irritation. He sarcastically unleashed his anger, stating, “I fucking love that I’m in the clip where he gets canceled. That was amazing. That’s awesome. … That was fucking awesome, that the circulated clip was fucking me sitting right next to him as he found out.”
During the clip in question, Preach was conversing with former Echo raider Jeath, an experienced World First caliber healer. Despite the unfolding situation, Preach and Jeath attempted to continue the show while the production staff worked to keep Campbell off-screen.
Campbell resigned from OTK on December 16 following the sexual assault allegations. The organization promptly released a statement confirming that it requested his resignation. The next day, OTK co-founder Asmongold, a long-time friend of Campbell, expressed his support for the alleged victim and condemned any fans who tried to defend Campbell or blame the victim.
