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.'

In a fresh, blistering, 47-word scathing rant, Wayne Carey LOSES IT over THAT 'toilet' video filmed by anonymous women at a Melbourne wine bar... but his past immediately comes back to haunt him
Wayne Carey has doubled down on his furious criticism of the women who filmed him and an unnamed woman in a trendy Melbourne wine bar - but his withering statement on X saw him get slammed by footy fans who brought up his scandalous past. On Wednesday, Carey confessed he is the man shown in a viral video that allegedly featured a man and woman emerging from a bathroom after a sexual encounter in a trendy Melbourne bar. The North Melbourne premiership winner said he has contacted Victoria Police in an effort to have the people who filmed and distributed the video held accountable for their actions. The footage, which was taken at the Toorak Cellars bar in Armadale in the city's inner south east, shows Carey and the unnamed woman walking into view around 20 seconds apart. A female voice is heard saying 'we've got you on camera' as the woman walks past, before asking 'What's he doing in there?' and remarking, 'She looks embarrassed.' Carey and the woman depicted in the clip have lashed out over the video, with the ex-AFL star using his podcast to brand it 's**t shaming' and cyberbullying, with both parties insisting there was no 'tryst' in the toilets. Pictured: Carey's second statement on the scandal, which saw him get some harsh reminders about his own past when he posted it to X on Thursday On Thursday morning, the 54-year-old launched another broadside at the women behind the clip, blaming them for ruining lives. '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. But if the Kangaroos legend was looking for support or sympathy, he was in for a shock. While some commenters agreed with him, the vast majority brought up his scandalous past to remind him that it his behaviour has also been 'NOT OK'. Many brought up his infamous cheating scandal with Kelli Stevens, the wife of his North Melbourne teammate Anthony Stevens, which became footy's biggest scandal when the news broke in March 2002. Others raised his alleged glassing of ex-fiancée Kate Neilson. In 2007, the premiership winner was accused of smashing a glass into her face as the pair were having dinner at a restaurant while holidaying in Miami. He was arrested and charged by police and later pleaded guilty to two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting arrest with violence. Some commenters raised the September 2022 incident that saw him kicked out of Perth's Crown Casino when a bag containing a white powder fell out of his pocket while he was gambling. Carey said the bag contained crushed-up anti-inflammatory drugs. And his guilty plea to a charge of indecent assault after grabbing a woman's breast outside a Melbourne nightclub in 1996 was also raised by footy fans who used it to shoot down his complaint about not consenting to the filming of the video. Carey did not hold back in his first barrage over the video when he confessed to being the man in the vision on Wednesday. 'Annoyed is the wrong word, I've gone through about 10 different emotions in the last three days,' he said on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast. '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 s**t-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, 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.' The AFL great (pictured with Jessica Paulke) revealed he has contacted police about the footage and is now going to 'let the law take care of it' Carey also said his partner Jessica Paulke had spoken to the woman in the footage to support her in her efforts to have the people who filmed the video held accountable. Paulke also messaged an Instagram account where the uncensored video was published, warning that she and Carey had 'contacted esafety commission to have this content removed'. The woman shown in the footage also lashed out on social media. 'Shame on you women, we are better than that,' she wrote. 'It [a tryst] did not happen, but that's not the point. 'It's time that narrative changed.' Carey added that one of the women's claim that she heard people 'grunting like pigs' in the toilet just before the video was taken is 'completely made-up crap'. He revealed that they were warned not to post the video on social media. 'This other woman has had an horrific few months. 'She's lost her parents, she's split up from a partner and these two women think it's OK to film her and slut shame her online and post it online,' he said. 'What sort of penalty should these two women get? 'We [he and the woman in the video] are speaking and we will follow this through to the nth 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?'

EXCLUSIVE The 'wine bar video' everyone in Melbourne is talking about: Footy star and woman hit back at snarky footage blazing through WhatsApp group chats
This is the snarky video that has been the talk of Melbourne for the past week. Secretly recorded by diners at Armadale wine bar Toorak Cellars last Friday, the footage allegedly shows an unidentified woman walking through the swanky venue, followed about 20 seconds later by a former AFL footballer.
