Ex-partner roasts Wayne Carey as new video emerges
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.'

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.'

Sylvanian Families embroiled in TikTok drama legal row
Sylvanian Families are at the centre of a legal battle with a TikTok creator. The beloved toys feature in videos from the Sylvanian Drama TikTok account, in which they are featured acting out adult sketches involving alcohol, drugs, cheating violence and murder but the Japanese manufacturer has taken exception to the social media content. Epoch Company Ltd have filed a copyright infringement case in the United States claiming that the videos are causing "irreparable injury" to the company's reputation. Thea Von Engelbrechten – the owner of the TikTok account that has amassed 2.5 million followers – has filed a counternotice claiming that her works are "parody". Sylvanian Families are sold as "an adorable range of distinctive animal characters with charming and beautiful homes, furniture and accessories". The toys, which have names like Freya the Chocolate Rabbit girl and Pino the Latte Cat baby, typically have wholesome adventures but the TikTok account features the toys with captions such as "My marriage is falling apart" and "My boyfriend won't post me on Instagram". Court documents filed by Epoch earlier this month with the Southern District of New York accuse Von Engelbrechten of infringing the firm's copyright without permission, causing irreparable injury to its goodwill and reputation. It states that Von Engelbrechten, who hails from Ireland, said her inspiration for the Sylvanian Drama storylines are from "cringey TV shows and early 2000s comedy". The TikTok user added: "I'm also really inspired by my cats because they are extremely sassy and self-obsessed and can be so cute, but they also have no morals when it comes to killing other animals. I try to embody that with the Sylvanians." Quizzed on why she thinks the videos are so popular, Von Engelbrechten told Fohr: "Maybe it's because it's coming from the voice of a 22-year-old who struggles with the same things as (they do). "I have a lot of storylines about insecure people, diet culture, toxic men, and sustainability, which I think other girls my age are also thinking a lot about." A pre-trial conference date has been set for August 14, when representatives from both sides will meet to discuss settlement options or to prepare the case for trial.

Junior Andre reveals dream collaborations with Jorja Smith and Joyner Lucas
Junior Andre has named Jorja Smith and Joyner Lucas as his two dream collaborators. The 20-year-old singer - whose parents are pop star Peter Andre and his ex-wife Katie Price - is at the beginning of his music career but he is already thinking about who he would like to work with in the future and those two artists are at the top of his list. Speaking exclusively to Lulu Eagle for BANG Showbiz at the launch of Men and Their Emotions (M.A.T.E) - a new mental health charity for men - on Friday night (18.07.25) at Indigo at The O2, he said: "I'm honestly so open, there are so many artists I would love to collab with. Maybe Jorja Smith on a little vibe - she's got a great voice. Joyner Lucas… he's sick.' Junior - who signed a major record deal with Columbia Records at just 16, the same label behind Harry Styles and Calvin Harris - says making music is a daily ritual, shaped entirely by how he feels in the moment. He added: "I pretty much make music every day and it depends on the vibe I'm feeling. Sometimes I'll tap into mental health stuff, sometimes I'm happy and I'll tap into summer stuff. It all depends.' As his career continues to grow, with new music and an acting role alongside his father in the upcoming musical Finding My Voice, Junior has one piece of advice he lives by, stay humble. He said: 'Always remain grounded, remember where you come from, be nice to people, man. Kindness goes a long way. Don't be mean, treat people with respect. We're all the same, no one is different. Love people, be kind, be real.' The Only One singer is a vocal advocate for mental health, especially among young men, urging them to open up emotionally and challenge outdated ideas of masculinity. He said: 'I think guys need to speak up about it. Everyone does, but a lot of guys don't, and I think it's so important. 'Your mental health is everything. In fact, it's more important than your physical health - because if your mental health is in the right place, it can help your physical health. 'Being a man is being able to be open, speaking about your emotions. People don't realise, but when you speak about your emotions you actually instantly feel relieved. Better. It's very good for you. 'If you don't, and you let it all bottle in - it's only gonna go one way.' M.A.T.E (Men and Their Emotions) is a new UK-based mental health charity, founded by comedian and rapper Daniel O'Reilly - best known as his comedy persona Dapper Laughs. Inspired by his own battles with addiction and mental health, the organisation is dedicated to encouraging men to open up emotionally, break down stigma around male vulnerability, and create safe spaces for honest conversation, support, and connection.

Mariah Carey to release new album Here For It All in September
Mariah Carey has announced her new album, Here For It All. The 56-year-old pop diva will share her first album since 2018's Caution with the world on September 26. She captioned a teaser clip on Instagram on Monday (21.07.25): "Here For It All [butterfly emoji] My new album out 9/26 [butterfly emoji] Pre-order now!" It will include the previously released lead single, Type Dangerous. On July 20, Mariah posted a video that celebrated her albums, beginning with MC1 - her 1990 self-titled debut LP - through to Caution. At the end of the 37-second video montage, the Obsessed hitmaker displayed the text "MC16", and on X, the clip showed the title "MC16 - Announcement Tomorrow". On her Instagram Stories, Mariah posted the same clip, but with a frozen countdown ticker, which displayed '19:06:42". The icon's tease of a new album came the day after she previewed the new single, Sugar Sweet. Mariah gave her fans a sneak peek into the light-hearted track - which features the lyrics: "Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet" - in a video of her baking something in a kitchen on July 19. In June, Mariah achieved an impressive milestone with one of her hit songs. Over 500 million people listened to 1995 track Fantasy on the music streaming platform, Spotify. Fantasy was Mariah's ninth Number One single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it spent eight weeks at the top from September 30 to November 18, 1995. It was also the first single, by a female artist, to debut atop the chart, and only the second single to do so after You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson. Mariah has now got four songs that have reached this milestone, with the others being the 1994 holiday classic All I Want For Christmas Is You, which has been streamed over two billion times, 2005's We Belong Together, which has been listened to over 777 million times, and 2009's Obsessed, which has totted almost 600 million streams.
