Before midday on Thursday, troubled former AFL star Brendan Fevola was kicked out of Crown casino in Melbourne due to his gambling addiction.
The former footballer, known for his wayward behavior, arrived at Crown at approximately 10:30 am on Thursday and started playing poker by himself.
However, a staff member from the casino eventually requested that he leave.
A spokesperson for Crown stated, “Once Crown was informed of Brendan Fevola’s presence in the poker room, a responsible gaming liaison officer, who is affiliated with the Crown customer support center but not Crown security, approached him.
“We did not engage with him until he finished at the table. We communicated the situation to him once, and he then got up and exited. The entire interaction was quite low-key.”
Fevola has reportedly been compensated around $30,000 for a no-holds-barred interview set to air on tonight’s Footy Show.
