One True King Co-Founder Rich Campbell Resigns Over Sexual Assault Allegations

[ad_1]

Rich Campbell parted ways with his One True King (OTK) content creation organization today after a sexual assault allegation against him surfaced on Twitter.

Yesterday, streamer Azalia Lexi posted on Twitter saying he assaulted her, and this morning she explained that claim with a Twitlonger statement that gave details of an alleged incident from December last year. Lexi has since made her Twitter account private.

Campbell responded to the allegations in the early afternoon saying that OTK had asked him to quit and he had accepted. Campbell was among the founding members of the organization, including Asmongold, Mizkif, Esfand and Tips Out.

I have read the statements made against me today. I’ll share my side of the story, but I need time to collect my thoughts. OTK asked me to resign from my position, and I accepted. I will update soon.

Campbell did not directly address the allegations against him or issue an apology, saying instead that he will post a comment after he has had time to digest Lexis’ statement.

I have read the statements made against me today, he said. I’ll share my side of the story, but I need time to collect my thoughts. I will update soon.

OTK released its own statement regarding the situation, explaining that Campbell’s resignation is effective immediately.

OTK stands firmly against sexual harassment and assault and is committed to upholding its core values, OTK said in a statement. We want to thank our community for their continued support and share your disappointment.

Campbell is currently in Europe where the WoW Echo guild has hired him to be part of their Race to World First coverage. He had his first shift this morning at the Erup show in Bern, Switzerland. The organization has not commented on whether or not Campbell will be part of its coverage following the allegations, but one would expect them to drop him from the caster rotation.
