Wayne Carey's ex-partner has publicly mocked the retired footballer in another twist to this week's bizarre scandal.
Kate Neilson on Saturday night couldn't help herself from taking a sly dig at her former partner when she re-enacted the viral video featuring the former footballer, sharing her performance on Instagram.
The fallout to Carey's so-called 'toilet tryst' drama continues to swirl after the woman pictured walking out of a bathroom ahead of the North Melbourne premiership winner on Friday revealed the episode has taken an immense toll on her personal and professional life.
Marketing executive Kate Aston, 38, and Carey have publicly said they are pursuing legal action after the video quickly spread across cyberspace.
Neilson, who dated Carey or four years before their split in 2009, was not subtle in re-enacting the video with her own partner while holidaying in Europe.
Neilson posted a candid clip of herself walking out of a bathroom covering her face before her partner shortly exits the same bathroom while appearing to use his phone.
The video on Neilson's Instagram stories included a duck emoji watermark. Carey's nickname during his football career was 'Duck'.
The clip was set to the Bloodhound Gang's The Bad Touch hit.
Neilson said she hoped the video was merely a misunderstanding.
'It's really too hard to tell what went on. I just hope for the sake of everyone involved there is no truth to it,' she said, per The Daily Mail.
Aston and Carey said this week they are consulting with lawyers.
'What has happened to me could happen to anyone, and no one should have to go through what I have been put through – the damage, the speculation, the impact on my livelihood, all from the malicious actions of a small few,' Aston, who has denied anything happened in the toilets, said, per The Herald Sun.
'Overnight, from footage of me simply exiting a toilet at a bar, I've had my life turned ­upside down.
'From a professional perspective, my ability has been put into question which has had immediate financial ­repercussions, one that is costing me every day with the effects likely to be long term and irreversible … while I appear strong, those closest to me know that my suffering over recent days has been colossal.'

Aston said she will be pursuing legal action after she was filmed at Toorak Cellars in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale last Friday leaving a bathroom about 20 seconds before Carey, 54, walks out.
As the recording unfolds, one voice behind the camera can be heard saying 'she looks embarrassed' before a second ponders 'what's he doing in there?'.
'I have been put in this situation simply because of the cyber-bullying actions of other people,' Ms Aston said.
'There needs to be some sort of accountability for their actions.
'The actions of these women have meant my name is now in the public realm, and I am now the subject of immense ridicule. It has already affected my ability to earn an income with other far-reaching negative consequences to come.'
Carey has also hit out at the footage, with the premiership winner demanding action and also labelling it cyber-bullying.
Carey spoke about the footage with Sam Newman, confirming he had been in contact with Victoria Police and the AFL Players' Association.
'Annoyed is the wrong word, I've gone through 10 different emotions in the last three days,' he said on Newman's podcast.
'One has been disbelief, that's not an emotion, but I've gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger.
'I've had empathy, I've had all sorts of things go through this body and this mind.
'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy. And you've got two vile, disturbing women who want to do this to another woman.
'That's all they were doing, they were slut-shaming another woman,' he said.
'If two men had done that they would be raked over hot coals, it would be the biggest story going around if that had occurred.
'But because it's two women doing it to another woman … you don't know what's going on, this other woman has had all sorts of stuff going in her life I've since found out.'
The former North Melbourne captain said he and his partner, Jessica Paulke, had been in contact with the woman in the video and they had all teamed up to hold those behind the footage accountable.
'I know who they are, the police know who they are, my lawyers know who they are. I have contacted these people just like the footballers have contacted these people because they've been abused online,' he said.
'You talk about vile and disgusting, what they have done and who they have affected by a few s**ts and giggles drinking their chardonnay sitting up there doing whatever.
'Once again I'm not going to name them because that would be as pathetic as what they are. I'll let the law take care of it.'
Carey, a great of the North Melbourne footy club, has a track record of incidents away from the playing arena.
The most famous was his affair with former teammate Anthony Stevens' then-wife Kelli, which led to Carey's sacking from the Kangaroos.
He has also been hit with indecent assault, domestic violence and misdemeanour battery allegations, along with issues with drugs and alcohol, and has been sacked from a number of media roles.
Carey was in 2007 involved in a 'glassing' incident with Neilson.
Neilson last year went public to refute claims Carey made about the incident, where he described reports as incorrect and 'ludicrous'.
Neilson has always maintained: 'I can say with certainty the glass of wine was intentionally thrown into my face and smashed my mouth pretty bad.'
Neilson has now come forward to accuse the footballer of changing his story.
'Wayne's story about the glassing in Miami has again changed from when he did the Andrew Denton story (in 2008) saying he didn't mean to break the glass on my face, but now he is saying he threw the glass on the ground,'' Neilson told The Herald Sun.
'Which is all lies. He was locked up in jail for a reason. Not because he poured wine on my face. I was bleeding profusely and the FBI took photos, which I have.
'So to say I was hardly a girlfriend is insulting when I lived with him for years and he flew to Tasmania and met my family, wrote about my dad in his autobiography and I was engaged to him.
'I'm extremely insulted by the downplay of all of this.'
