In a recent turn of events, NRL superstar Latrell Mitchell has found himself at the center of controversy as he faces accusations of brushing young fans.
However, Mitchell has wasted no time in setting the record straight and defending himself against these claims.
The incident was initially brought to light by talkback radio host Ben Fordham, who expressed his disbelief at Mitchell allegedly snubbing two children who had approached him for a photo at a junior footy carnival.
This accusation quickly gained attention, with fans and supporters of Mitchell coming to his defense.
One caller even expressed their disappointment, claiming to no longer be a supporter of Mitchell's team, the Rabbitohs.
Despite the negative attention, Mitchell took to his Instagram account to refute the accusations and clarify that he never refused to take a photo with any children.
It seems that the NRL world is rallying behind Mitchell, showing their support and belief in his innocence.
