Rick Harrison disputes son Corey’s GoFundMe, says he paid all bills

Rick Harrison says his son Corey doesn’t need help with medical bills from a motorcycle accident, adding that he “paid all of Corey’s medical bills long before he put the GoFundMe out.” He added via a representative that “He is a grown man in his 40’s and is responsible for how he handles his finances.” A friend, Aron Chambers, launched a GoFundMe this week saying they were “raising emergency funds to cover more than $100,000 in medical bills and related expenses” after the crash in Tulum, Mexico.

The fundraiser and other updates say Corey, 42, broke 11 ribs and suffered a concussion, internal bleeding and a punctured lung; Corey posted, “Pretty messed up but I’m good,” and shared a photo from his hospital bed. Chambers wrote that Corey spent time in hospitals in Playa del Carmen, underwent “three life-saving surgeries,” checked out after 14 days but ultimately spent 18 more days hospitalized, and is now behind on rent and facing medication and follow-up care costs.
