‘I know who they are’: Wayne Carey blows up over viral toilet footage

Ex-AFL player Wayne Carey has taken aim at two women after footage of him in an alleged toilet tryst at a Melbourne bar went viral.

Wayne Carey has been left seething after being filmed walking out of a bathroom in an alleged toilet tryst.

The footage, filmed at Toorak Cellars in Armadale on Friday, shows a woman leave the bathroom before Carey walks out around 20 seconds later.

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 star labelling it cyber-bullying.

The 272-game player spoke about the footage with Sam Newman, stating 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. One has been disbelief, that’s not an emotion, but I’ve gone through disbelief, sadness, I’ve gone through anger,” Carey said on Newman’s You Cannot be Serious podcast.

Wayne Carey is seeking to hold to account the women who filmed the video.

The former AFL player has spoken to Victoria Police regarding the footage.

“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 icon said his partner, Jessica Paulke, have been in contact with the woman in the video and they had 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 shits 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 said what had happened should be looked at on the same level as when racist abuse is directed at players.

“It’s gone through my mind a million times, ‘what did they want to achieve?’,” Carey said.

“What middle aged women would want to sit and film someone and for what purpose? But then make up a story about what occurred.

“If they really wanted to ruin someone’s life they could have contacted Jess personally and said ‘guess what I’ve just seen your partner come out of a toilet and a female came out 30 seconds in between so therefore they must have been doing something in that toilet together’.

“If that’s what they wanted to do, if they wanted to ruin my life and her life and ruin my kids’ lives, why didn’t they just do that”

Carey said he would be following through “to the enth degree” to ensure a penalty is handed down.

“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?

Wayne Carey addresses the incident on Sam Newman's podcast.

“We are speaking and we will follow this through to the enth 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.”

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.”
