‘Gold Rush’ Fans Wonder What Happened To Morgan Lauren

Fans of Gold Rush came to know Morgan Lauren during the show’s fourteenth season. However, some fans are wondering what happened to her after she didn’t appear to return for Season 15. However, a video featuring Lauren has come to light that might offer an explanation.
Morgan Lauren Was Part Of Gold Rush Back In 2023
On Gold Rush, viewers get a look into the gold mining efforts of various mining companies. The Discovery Channel series has been running since 2010.
Lauren first appeared on the show back in 2023. The rock washer made her debut in the second episode of the fourteenth season, “Call of the Indian River,” as part of Rick Ness’ team.

However, fans noticed that Lauren has been absent during the fifteenth season. One even took to the show’s official Reddit page to ask what had happened to her.
As the fan simply asked, “What happened to Morgan Lauren on Ness Crew?” They continued, “Curious why she isn’t in this season?”
In the comments, another fan directed the original poster to a video. As they mentioned, sharing a link, “Here is a video of her saying why. Basically, loses money being there, doesn’t like the production company, and would rather be back home with family and friends.”
“But with some digging around online, there seems to be some added drama. Ricks ex telling people Rick has a coke and prostitute problem. Morgan sticks up for him saying not to trust her. Rick then tees off on Morgan. Yikes.”
As seen in the video, Lauren herself explained why she was no longer on the mining team: “There is so much that goes into it and, from my side, bare bones, I lost money being out there last season. It financially does not make sense for me to return.”
Some Fans Still Had Some Questions For Lauren
“The production company was not easiest to work with and I’m actually incredibly disappointed, especially after witnessing what it’s like to work with other production companies and what is normal on other sets.”
“Yeah, so, family, friends, all of that is so much more important to me and enjoying my time. I seriously wish them the absolute best of luck. I hope they find every single ounce of gold possible this year and am grateful for the experience, but I have zero need or interest or want in returning.”
Another fan asked about a rumor that she and Rick Ness were an item on the show. Other fans were mixed on the idea. Some felt it was just a rumor, while others claimed to have inside information that suggested otherwise.
Taking to the comments, some fans agreed with Lauren’s statements. Others still had questions about the situation. Some comments included:
- “I will buy all her reasons, except the losing money one. How can you lose money working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Free rent, free food, paid weekly, she is paying bills and banking the rest. I bet you leave moneyed up as they say.”
- “Think last year she put on Instagram she wasn’t down for the drama with Rick in the offseason (as I think he had a relapse or something) and is working somewhere else”
- “I have to walk a very fine line here. Things were not as they seemed. And I will leave it at that.”
