'All lies': Wayne Carey's ex-partner Kate Neilson left fuming after downplaying of alleged glassing
Updated . First published at
Wayne Carey's ex-partner Kate Neilson has labelled the former North Melbourne star's latest claims as "lies".
It comes after Carey spoke out on the You Cannot Be Serious podcast with Sam Newman, addressing a plethora of his past troubles.
One incident included one which left Neilson with a bleeding lip back in 2007, while the pair were in the US.

"An incident with a girl that I was seeing on and off, I wouldn't call her a girlfriend … we were overseas in a restaurant and everyone says you glassed someone,'' Carey said on the You Cannot Be Serious podcast.
"Yes the glass did touch her because I was trying to throw wine, I've said this before publicly, I was trying to throw a mouthful of wine on her in a packed restaurant.
"I leant over and touched her lip. I then threw the glass on the ground and it smashed."

Carey's recollection has left Neilson reeling, as she moved quickly to dispel his alleged downplayed version of events.
"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.
"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."
The pair were briefly engaged in 2009.
"I'm extremely insulted by the downplay of all of this," she added.
In the same podcast, Carey addressed being left out of the Kangaroos 100th year promotional video.

"This is me finally saying, 'come on, enough is enough'," Carey said.
"Surely I don't have to live … I've probably only got nine good summers left, Sam. Surely I don't have to live the last years of my life living things that occurred 30-plus, 20-plus years ago.
"Surely I'm not that interesting to keep bringing up things that happened that long ago.
"It's astounding."
