Radio star Ben Fordham airs a WILD theory about what Wayne Carey was doing just before viral 'toilet tryst' video of him in a trendy Melbourne wine bar
Radio presenter Ben Fordham has aired a wild theory about Wayne Carey's now viral alleged 'toilet tryst' video, claiming he was trying to save a woman's life. The North Melbourne great found himself at the centre of a media storm last week after a video went viral online, allegedly appearing to show a woman leaving a bathroom at a trendy Melbourne bar, with another man following her out of the bathroom around 20 seconds later. A voice behind the camera can be heard saying: 'She looks embarrassed.' Another adds: 'What's he doing in there?' Carey, 54, has found himself at the centre of a media storm over the viral video, having confessed he was the man in the clip, before blasting the actions of the two women who appear to have taken the video. He branded it 's*** shaming' and 'cyberbullying', while both parties have insisted that there was no 'tryst' in the toilets. They have both contacted the police and are seeking legal advice on the matter. However, 2GB presenter Fordham issued a hypothesis, claiming that the Melbourne woman in the video, who has since been identified as Kate Aston, had been choking on some food, with Carey entering the bathroom to help her. The woman at the centre of a viral video with AFL star Wayne Carey has hit out at those who filmed her and revealed that she's suffered 'immense distress'. Kate Aston, 38, (pictured) a Melbourne marketing and communications executive, has described the dissemination of the clip as 'a deliberate act of bullying' 'He could have been down there in the latrines and he could have heard someone in a state of distress... she might have been choking on a prawn or an oyster or some piece of food,' Fordham told ex-Geelong player Sam Newman on his podcast You Cannot Be Serious. 'The Duck [Carey] might have rushed in there and given her the Heimlich manoeuvre. 'And he might have been pumping and thrusting to remove the prawn or the obstruction or whatever it might have been. He might have saved a life. 'That's the way I view the Duck. I view him as the good guy, not the bad guy.' Carey, who had been enjoying an evening out at the Toorak Cellars bar in Armadale, in Melbourne's south east, fumed about the viral video on the You Cannot Be Serious podcast last week, claiming: ''I've gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger. 'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy.' Newman had asked Carey prior to recording the podcast whether there was truth to the allegations that were being levelled against him. 'I said: 'I'd like to ask you, did you know the girl before you went down to the latrines, and were you in the same, not the same cubicle, were you in the same enclosure and speak to her there?' Newman said. 'He said: 'No.' I said: 'Good, well, that's good'. 'She was there, she walked out. He said: 'When I walked out, I was on the phone, I was on the phone to my partner, Jess'. 'And I said: 'Good.' It looked as though. He said there was absolutely nothing in it. The girl has said there was nothing in it, so he's taking umbrage at being accused of being a home breaker.' Carey took a brief trip to Sydney last week, jetting to New South Wales on Thursday before flying back on Saturday. He cut a relaxed and unbothered figure as he was pictured walking through the airport. Fordham, meanwhile, replied to Newman's revelation, revealing he sympathised with Carey's frustrations over the matter. 'If that's the case, I can understand why he's filthy, but I just couldn't, I was waiting for you to ask him the question on the podcast, and I don't know whether you just didn't want to become roadkill because he was on a bit of a mission at the time... but that's what I wanted to know. 'Only because he spoke about it for so long and he was going into so much detail. I just couldn't help but wonder, did you happen to step into the same cubicle or not? Obviously, he didn't. Two people can walk out of the [toilet] in the same direction a few minutes apart, having spent no time together at that location. Fordham added: 'It's a gross invasion of someone's privacy and it affects a lot of people.' The AFL great (pictured with Jessica Paulke) revealed he has contacted police about the footag and is now going to 'let the law take care of it' Carey, meanwhile, hit out at the two people who had filmed him leaving the toilets. He added that he knew who the people were but was reluctant to reveal their names, adding that he would be leaving the matter to his lawyers and the police. 'You've got two vile, disturbing, probably p**sed women who want to do this to another woman,' Carey said last week on the podcast. 'That's all they were doing, they were s**t-shaming another woman. 'If two men had done that, they would be raked over hot coals; it would be the biggest story going around.' Carey added that his partner, Jessica Paulke had spoken to the woman in the video to offer her support to Aston over the matter. '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 on in her life, I've since found out. 'You talk about vile and disgusting, what they've done and who they have affected by a few sh**s and giggles drinking their chardonnay, sitting up there, doing whatever. Aston posted a lengthy statement to Instagram Stories on Thursday, revealing that she had initially chosen to remain silent to protect her professional reputation and her mental health, but has come forward to hold those who released the video to account '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 who was seen leaving the bathroom before Carey has also blasted the 'malicious actions' of the two women who took the video clip. Kate Aston, 38, is a marketing and communications executive from Melbourne. She described the clip as 'a deliberate act of bullying' in a lengthy statement on Instagram. She revealed that she had chosen to stay silent to protect her reputation and mental health. But over the weekend, she spoke out to hold those who had published the video to account. 'Overnight, from footage of me simply exiting a toilet at a bar, I've had my life turned upside down,' she wrote. '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.' 'At a time when I am navigating my next career move and visibility matters, the personal and professional toll has been immense,' she said. 'Who would want to employ me, date me, be associated with me? What's left now that this has all happened to me?' Carey, who made 244 appearances for North Melbourne between 1989 and 2001 before moving to play for Adelaide for a season, added that he would be following through 'to the tenth degree' to ensure that a penalty is handed down. Carey, meanwhile, has explained that he will be seeking legal advice on the matter 'I could sit there and film people going in and out of toilets. Who does she think she is, Morgan Freeman narrating a wild life (documentary)? (She said) "I heard people grunting like pigs". Completely made-up crap. 'These two women think it's OK to film her and slut shame her online and post it online. What sort of penalty should these two women get? 'We are speaking and we will follow this through to the tenth degree. I'm blown away that women in their 40s could think this was a good idea. How would they explain this to their children? 'This is women being cruel to another woman. They have shamed another woman and it is so wrong. It happens far too often and it doesn't get called out. Men do it and it gets called out as it should. Let's see where this goes to from here.'

Notorious outlaw bikie Tarek Zahed shows off the gruesome injuries he suffered in assassination attempt for the first time as he takes a selfie with footy great Wayne Carey
Comancheros bikie kingpin Tarek Zahed has shown off the gruesome aftermath of ab infamous attempt on his life for the first time in a selfie taken with scandal-plagued footy great Wayne Carey. Nicknamed the ' Balenciaga bikie' or 'Gucci gangster' for his love of designer clothing, Zahed was shot 10 times outside a gym in the western Sydney suburb of Auburn in May 2022. His brother Omar, 39, went into cardiac arrest and died at the scene after he was shot several times in the arms, stomach and legs, while Zahed was rushed to Westmead Hospital in critical condition. He survived the attack but suffered significant injuries, including losing his right eye. While his catastrophic injuries had previously been shown in a mugshot, this is the first time the damage to his eye has been shown clearly. Doctors were stunned at his recovery from the shooting after he spent months in hospital, but there was nothing they could do to save his eye, which was destroyed by a bullet. In the weeks leading up to the horror shooting, the former Comanchero national sergeant-at-arms was warned by organised crime detectives to 'stop going to the gym, change your routine'. His friends even begged him to 'play it safe' and stop after learning that a $1million bounty had been put out on him by rivals. Last August, it was reported that Zahed would move to Melbourne after he was freed from jail after spending two years behind bars for destroying evidence related to the execution of family friend Youssef Assoum in Sydney in 2014. Police arrested him for that crime in dramatic scenes that saw officers in tactical gear fire rubber bullets into his BMW. Zahed had no involvement in Assoum's death, and Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that Carey knew Zahed's identity and past when the photo was taken. The image has surfaced shortly after Carey, 54, attracted headlines over visiting a trendy bar in Melbourne's inner south east, where two other patrons a accused him of engaging in a sexual encounter with marketing executive Kate Aston. Both Carey and Aston vehemently deny any 'toilet tryst' took place. Carey lashed out on X following the incident, adamant the two women who filmed the vision had created a 'disgusting narrative'. Given his scandalous past, 'Duck' didn't garner much support on social media from footy fans. AFL legend Wayne Carey lashed out in anger after he was featured in a video taken in a trendy Toorak wine bar The women who took the video (pictured) accused Carey of having a sexual encounter with a woman at the venue - which he and the woman have both denied in no uncertain terms Many referenced his infamous cheating scandal with Kelli Stevens, the wife of his North Melbourne teammate Anthony Stevens, which became footy's biggest scandal when the news broke in March of 2002. Others raised his alleged glassing of ex-fiancée Kate Neilson. In 2007, Carey was accused of smashing a glass into her face as the pair were having dinner at a restaurant while holidaying in Miami. He was arrested and charged by police and later pleaded guilty to two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting arrest with violence. Some commenters pointed to the September 2022 incident that saw Carey kicked out of Perth's Crown Casino when a bag containing a white powder fell out of his pocket while he was gambling. Carey said the bag contained crushed-up anti-inflammatory drugs. And his guilty plea to a charge of indecent assault after grabbing a woman's breast outside a Melbourne nightclub in 1996 was also raised by footy fans who used it to shoot down his complaint about not consenting to the filming of the video. Speaking on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast, Carey revealed his anger over the Toorak video. Carey (pictured, with partner Jessica Paulke) branded the people behind the video 'vile and disgusting' 'You've got two ... disturbing ... women who want to do this to another woman,' he fumed. 'That's all they were doing, they were s**t-shaming another woman. '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 added that one of the women's claim that she heard people 'grunting like pigs' in the toilet just before the video was taken is 'completely made-up crap.'

Carey and the woman depicted in the clip have lashed out over the video, with the ex-AFL star branding it 's**t shaming' and cyberbullying, and both parties insisting there was no 'tryst' in the toilets. 'Annoyed is the wrong word, I've gone through about 10 different emotions in the last three days,' he said on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast. 'I've gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger. 'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy. 'And you've got two vile, disturbing, probably p**sed women who want to do this to another woman.'

Ex-partner roasts Wayne Carey as new video emerges
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.' Watch the viral Wayne Carey footage in the video player above 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.'

Wayne Carey's ex posts brutal video mocking him and reveals what she really thinks of his toilet scandal
Kate Neilson, the ex-partner of AFL 'bad boy' Wayne Carey, has brutally mocked his viral toilet tryst video. On Wednesday, footy great Carey confessed that he was the man in the viral footage that featured him and a woman emerging from a bathroom in a trendy Melbourne bar. Kate, who was in a fractious four-year relationship with Carey, took to Instagram on Saturday to brutally roast her former flame. She shared a clip that showed her re-enacting the viral video while on holiday in Italy. The video showed Kate emerging from a public toilet, covering her face. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The clip was set to the Bloodhound Gang tune The Bad Touch, while Neilson added another not-so-subtle dig at Carey with a duck emoji - the AFL star's nickname. 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. Neilson and Carey's relationship came to a head in 2007, when the premiership winner was accused of smashing a glass into her face as the pair were having dinner at a restaurant in Miami. He was arrested and charged by police and later pleaded guilty to two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting arrest with violence. Neilson decided not to press charges against him over the incident, and Carey was ordered to perform 50 hours of community service, attend classes to manage his anger and alcohol consumption, and pay money to a police charity. Carey is now in a relationship with Jessica Paulke, and the couple share two children. Wayne confessed he was the man in the viral video that featured him and a woman emerging from a bathroom. The North Melbourne premiership winner said he had contacted Victoria Police in an effort to hold those who filmed and distributed the video accountable for their actions. The footage, which was taken at the Toorak Cellars bar in Armadale in the city's inner south-east, shows Wayne and Kate Aston, 38, a Melbourne marketing and communications executive, walking into view about 20 seconds apart. A female voice is heard saying 'we've got you on camera' as the woman walks past, before asking 'What's he doing in there?' and remarking, 'She looks embarrassed'.
