‘I know who they are': Wayne Carey blows up over viral toilet footage
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.
'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?
'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.'

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.

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.

Snapchatting driver Peter Agius jailed for crash that killed Adam Sutton
A Victorian driver who was distracted by a series of Snapchat messages and caused a crash that killed a Glengarry man will spend almost a decade behind bars. On Thursday Traralgon man Peter Agius, 23, was sentenced in the Melbourne County Court to nine years and eight months' imprisonment with a non-parole period of six years. He has already served 122 days. In March Agius was found guilty by a jury of culpable driving causing the death of livestock agent Adam John Sutton and negligently causing serious injury to Mr Sutton's son, Darcy, on January 31, 2023. Mr Sutton, 35, had collected six-year-old Darcy from his first day of school when Agius's vehicle collided with their car at the intersection of Traralgon-Maffra and Farmers roads in Glengarry. Mr Sutton died at the scene. Darcy was flown to the Royal Children's Hospital with critical injuries. He suffered a permanent brain injury. The court heard Agius sent 44 Snapchats and received 41 responses while driving down the busy road before the crash. One of those replies came 20 seconds before the crash. In his sentencing, Judge Kevin Doyle said the circumstances amounted to an "accident waiting to happen". "You should have seen Mr Sutton slow to turn — you should have slowed down in response," he said. "You failed to because you were not paying attention on the road. Judge Doyle said the crash was a "complete tragedy" for all the people involved. The courtroom was filled with Mr Sutton's grieving family members on Thursday. In a previous hearing Mr Sutton's mother, Leanne Sutton, said her son's death was a "harrowing experience" that no parent should ever have to go through. "It's a living nightmare, which sadly can only be truly understood with a lived experience," she said in her victim impact statement. Ms Sutton added there were "so many emotional scars" that would never heal. She said about 1,000 people attended Mr Sutton's funeral and 2,000 more watched the service online. Ms Sutton's husband, Ray, said the loss of their son had put the family in a state of shock and that family functions had never been the same since.

The new mum, however, won't be jumping back into full-time work straight away, instead planning to work two days a week while managing her maternal duties. 'I feel incredibly lucky to step back into a job I love, while also soaking up the joy of being a mum,' Holmes said in a statement to Channel 7 on Thursday. 'It's the perfect balance, and I'm so grateful for the support from both my family and my work family to get me back doing what I love. 'Coming back to work fills me with so much excitement. 'I've missed the team, the buzz, and being part of the action. I'm ready to hit the ground running next Friday night at Marvel Stadium and can't wait for little Brax to see his mumma in action. 'It's been such a special time at home with Braxton and Keegan and I feel so lucky to be able to go back to a job that I love and come home to our family. 'I've been watching so much footy and now I'm rapt to be back in the thick of it,' Holmes said about her pending return to commentary. 'I'm so thankful to the amazing team at Seven who made it easy for me to take the time I needed, and who've welcomed me back with open arms. 'It's the best feeling to know I can have both – a career I love and precious time with my family. 'Being a mum has changed me in the most incredible ways, but one thing that hasn't changed is my passion for my career and the game. I couldn't be more ready to be back.'
