Gearbox responds to assault allegations from Borderlands’ former Claptrap voice actor
Gearbox has responded to claims from the former voice actor of a major Borderlands character, in which he alleges that the studio’s CEO physically assaulted him. In a series of tweets published last night, David Eddings, who portrayed Claptrap in all three previous Borderlands titles, said that the incident took place in 2017.
In a statement to PC Gamer, Gearbox said that “Gearbox takes any and all claims of this nature very seriously and we will abstain from commenting on the allegations Dave is making because it is a personnel matter. We appreciate David’s contributions to the Borderlands franchise and have continued to assert that we would welcome him back into the mix as the voice of Claptrap and other future opportunities.”
Eddings, who was VP of business development at Gearbox until he left the company in 2017, tweeted about his decision to not reprise the role. He said that “I had a lot of mixed feelings when asked to reprise the role of Claptrap late last year and eventually realized I was willing to put differences aside and do something cool for Borderlands fans with my friends at Gearbox.”
