Wayne Carey ducks into strip club for meet-and-greet - as he moves on from pub toilet controversy
Wayne Carey smiled broadly as he walked into a strip club in Geelong on Friday night as the AFL great held a meet-and-greet appearance at the unusual venue. The former North Melbourne premiership captain was snapped walking into After Dark Gentleman's Club, where attendees were enjoying pole dancing at a venue self-described as a 'realm of seduction'. Carey, whose off-field controversies have created more headlines than even his brilliant playing career, had described the venue as 'classy' in justifying his appearance, describing the women that work there as 'highly skilled'. 'This is just another way of creating jobs,' he said on his podcast earlier in the week. It comes after Carey outed himself as the footy star who appeared in a viral video that was the talk of Melbourne last month. The footage showed the 54-year-old emerging from the toilets at Melbourne's trendy Toorak Cellars bar shortly after Kate Aston, a Melbourne marketing and communications executive, made her exit. A female voice was heard saying 'we've got you on camera' as the woman walked past, before asking 'What's he doing in there?' and remarking, 'She looks embarrassed.' Carey said he contacted Victoria Police over the video. Carey is seen entering the stip club where he said he'd stay for hours 'Being filmed without consent coming out of a public bathroom and then filming a complete stranger within a minute coming out of that public bathroom is NOT OK.. Then the persons who are filming adding their disgusting narrative and posting it on social media ruins lives …Enough,' he wrote on X. '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. '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. '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. '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. '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.' He left Australia to get away from the furore, but refused to specify where he'd jetted off to, saying, 'No one knows where you are, and where I am, who I am. Just a beautiful part of the world.' The toilet incident came decades on from his infamous 2002 sexual liaison with Kelli Stevens, the wife of his then teammate Anthony Stevens, in a toilet at another teammate's house party which ended his time at North Melbourne. In 2004 he was arrested by police in Las Vegas, in 2007 in Miami, and in 2008 in Port Melbourne. In 2022 he was expelled from Crown Casino in Perth when he was found to have a plastic bag containing white powder, which he explained was crushed anti-inflammatories he required. .

Wayne Carey's adult-only club move after toilet tryst controversy
Wayne Carey has landed back on Australian shores and the former AFL premiership star is reportedly set to make an eye-opening public return. The 54-year-old left the country with his family after finding himself embroiled in controversy over an alleged toilet tryst. Carey went viral in July after footage filmed at Toorak Cellars in Armadale, showed him following a woman out of a bathroom. Carey however is now set to make his first public appearance since the incident with the 272-game AFL great appearing at an adults-only club in Geelong. The After Dark Gentleman's Club is promoting a meet and greet session with Carey on August 15. 'Meet and greet with Wayne Carey,' the club promises on its Facebook page. 'Doors open from 8.30pm. Live entertainment all night.' Carey has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing over the alleged toilet tryst, with the Kangaroos legend saying it was a breach of privacy and 'slut shaming'. Carey and the woman in the video, marketing executive Kate Aston, both publicly said they are pursuing legal action after the video quickly spread across cyberspace. Aston said the scandal has taken an immense toll on her personal and professional life. '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,' Ms Aston, who has denied anything happened in the toilets, said. '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.' Carey's ex-partner publicly mocked the retired footballer in another twist to the bizarre scandal. Kate Neilson couldn't help herself from taking a sly dig at her former partner when she re-enacted the viral video. 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. 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.'
