Wayne Carey questioned after opting to ‘out himself' in latest scandal
Questions have been raised about Wayne Carey's decision to make his latest scandal public knowledge in a chat with Sam Newman. Carey, 54, has been left seething after he was filmed walking out of a bathroom in an alleged toilet tryst at Toorak Cellars in Armadale last Friday. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo?

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?'. Carey and the woman in the video have both hit out at the footage, with the premiership winner demanding action and labelling it cyber-bullying. Watch the viral Wayne Carey footage in the video player above Entertainment reporter Peter Ford has questioned the decision to bring the incident further into the public consciousness, labelling it 'an interesting choice' in a chat with radio station 3AW Melbourne. 'This 'toilet-gate' scandal if you like, is it a scandal or is it completely blown up out of all proportion?' Ford asked. 'Wayne Carey decided to out himself, which I thought was an interesting choice, he didn't have to do that and the story probably would've been dead by now. 'If you can't use names, the story kind of peters out. But in this case, Wayne did decide to do it and of course Wayne has got a track record of bad behaviour in the past. 'He's on the defence now and come out fighting with this case.' Ford went on to say most people would think 'only two things' could be happening in the unisex bathroom and then joined Carey in slamming the action of the women that filmed the incident. 'Two women were there and for whatever reason, they must've been having a very dull night, decided they would film the two people,' he said. 'Wayne is demanding action, going to police, calling in lawyers, AFL Players' Association, he really is fighting back on this one. 'If I was running Toorak Cellars, I certainly would be banning those two women. 'If they're regular patrons I would be saying 'please don't come back', because to me it crosses a line. 'We have no evidence that anything untoward was happening between those two people.' Carey, a great of the North Melbourne footy club, has a horror 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. Just last month Carey was filmed in an altercation with a man outside a Melbourne pub. Ford conceded it was an unpopular opinion, but was opting to support Carey in this latest incident. 'Sometimes it's not a popular stance to back Wayne Carey, but in this particular case, my gut feeling is he and the mystery woman are the innocent party,' he said. 'Unfortunately, it's the curse of anyone in the public eye these days, everyone now is an amateur paparazzi and that's fine, wanting to get selfies and all that. 'But the problem is people also love making moral judgements about famous people and what they're doing wrong and might be up to behind closed doors and I think this is a classic case of that.' Carey spoke about the footage with 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. '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.' The woman in the footage has also come out and condemned the actions of those who filmed the moment and shared it online. 'Shame on you women, we are better than that,' she said on social media. 'It did not happen, but that's not the point. It's time this narrative changed.'
