Former AFL footballer Wayne Carey has dropped a zip-lock bag of white powder at Perth’s Crown Casio. Carey’s bosses at Channel 7 and Triple M have asked the controversial star to stand down from his plum media roles while an investigation is carried out.
Jono Smitho, a spokesperson for Triple M said, “Enough is enough. Carey has a long history of incidents that weren’t illegal like drugs, but were certainly frowned upon by a minority. But we always turned a blind eye. In fact, we rewarded him with career opportunities. This time he’s gone too far. As people in the media, we cannot be seen to be involved in party drugs.”
Carey has a long history of abuse against women, including grabbing a stranger’s breast in a Melbourne street, kicking a female police officer in the face, and multiple incidents with ex-partners, including allegedly glassing his girlfriend.
Smitho has said, “We are following proper process and if the powder is revealed to be drugs, then we will have to appear to make a stand. If, however, investigations reveal the bag of powder is something else, say, a weapon for assaulting women, then we will of course look the other way and welcome Carey back.”
A spokesperson for Carey has told Babbler that the former North Melbourne star is remorseful and shocked that there have finally been consequences for his actions.
“He’s let his workplaces down, he’s let the boys down, and most importantly, he’s let the gambling industry down.”
