You both know a thing or two about white powder scandals.
And AFL villain Wayne Carey has now boldly come to the defense of disgraced former WAG Nadia Bartel, who revealed her own snoring embarrassment in a recent revealing interview with Stellar magazine.
On his podcast The Truth Hurts, the 51-year-old former Kangaroos captain said high-profile footy women like Nadia and Rebecca Judd – who are not involved in scandals – were “quite remarkable” for their strength under fire.
‘[WAGs] is hit by many people… how about you give this woman [Nadia] the recognition she deserves for pursuing a career,” he said.
“Apparently he broke up with Jimmy, was with him through the rough times, him as an AFL footballer. I know Nadia made some mistakes – but who hasn’t – but the way she recovers from those mistakes.”

Wayne said the success Nadia and Bec have achieved as self-made businesswomen and influencers.is quite remarkable’.
It comes just days after Nadia first spoke at length about a video of her sniffing white powder breaking Melbourne’s September 2021 lockdown.
In the video, the model was filmed by her business partner Ellie Pearson sniffing white powder from a $1.50 Kmart plate during an illegal gathering at a friend’s house.
Nadia (37) told Stellar magazine on Sunday that she was hurt by her actions by “disappointed people whose opinion means everything to me”.
‘I made a big mistake. And I accept it. I just feel like there’s a real ongoing persecution – still. And that’s what hurts a lot,” she said.

“I know Nadia made some mistakes — but who hasn’t — but the way she recovers from those mistakes,” Carey said on The Truth Hurts podcast.
The founder of Henne said she originally wanted to share her story and “speak her truth”, but realized people will always have their own opinions.
“I just want my actions to speak louder than words,” she added.
“The reaction on social media was very negative towards me and it hurt a lot. What hurt more was the feeling that I had let down people I love and whose opinion means everything to me.”

Carey was also at the center of a scandal of her own last year.
The Footy Great was kicked out of Perth’s Crown Casino last September after he was caught with a zip lock bag of white powder.
The former North Melbourne player was escorted out of the casino after a bag fell out of his pocket while he was gambling.
The zip-lock bag contained anti-inflammatory medication he took to treat the pain from his football career, Carey pointed out.
Carey has reportedly been banned from the Crown premises for two years, quit his radio show Triple M and banned from appearing on Channel Seven’s Brownlow Medal.
Nadia, 37, told Stellar magazine on Sunday that she was hurt by her actions “disappointing people whose opinion means the world to me”.
