A streaker who made headlines after she was crash-tackled by a security guard for invading an NRL field during Saturday night’s match on the Gold Coast, has been identified as Javon Johanson.

Footage of the tackle went viral, with Ms Johanson racing across the pitch wearing just jeans and a bra, dodging those trying to stop her, before becoming airborne before a security guard intervened in a manner described by many as “over the top.”

But after the crunching on-field tackle, Ms Johanson said she “got what she deserved.”

“I got what I deserved, he (security) was doing his job,” she said.

Additional footage has since emerged of Ms Johanson sitting beside a friend in the crowd, addressing her social media followers on Tik Tok and gearing up for the streak.
“So my actual biggest goal in life has been to actually just run on the football field and yeah, I’m doing this,” Ms Johanson said in the video.

She was reportedly unapologetic and uninjured following the ordeal, telling 7 News she was “sore, but has no regrets.”

The Titans agreed that the tackle was an over-the-top reaction and will be reviewing the footage.

“There needs to be a review of what happened,” said chairman Dennis Watt.

“From where I was sitting it did seem heavy-handed. It could have been handled better.

“You heard this collective intake of breath around the ground.

“It did seem over the top and it put the intruder at real physical risk.”
Ms Johanson has been charged and is set to face court in two weeks.
