Patrick Clark (Velveteen Dream) Responds To EC3’s Allegations That He Recorded Talent Without Consent

Patrick Clark (Velveteen Dream in WWE) has responded to claims made by EC3. 

EC3 recently made headlines when he alleged Velveteen Dream (Patrick Clark) taped wrestlers peeing without their consent. The incident allegedly occurred at a house party thrown by EC3 when both men still worked for NXT. EC3 would later say that WWE knew of the incident. 

Taking to Instagram, Clark responded to the allegations. 

“EC3 has gone to the dirtsheets saying he had a party at his house one night, and if I’m correct, this is 2017, 2018. I’m not going to tell people who was at this party out of respect for our mutual friends, but one of our mutual friends is a former NXT talent that no longer works for WWE and the other person is a current Monday Night Raw talent who used to wrestle talent for NXT. 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 pissy drunk because you were in your place. You were damn near passed out in the corner. You and your homegirl, whichever chick you were screwing at the time. The other two people, the mutual friends were there. 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. Cocaine is a hell of a drug, EC3. Get your shit together. If anyone would like to go to my friends list and check out who follows me, EC3 is a follower of mine. If you thought that much of me that you couldn’t trust me, you definitely wouldn’t be following me on social media all these years later. You’re pathetic. Control that narrative, asshole,” he said.

EC3 and Clark had a match match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 in August 2018 where EC3 suffered a concussion three minutes into the bout.

Clark, who was released by WWE in May 2021, was arrested on August 26 a charge of Possession Of Drug Paraphernalia. He is currently listed as having a court date on September 19. A separate record states that the State Of Florida filed the case against Clark back on August 20, when he was arrested for First Degree Battery and Trespassing on property after a warning.
