The incident occurred last Saturday afternoon just before the lunch break when two of the Warners’ three daughters wanted to see their father David.

Candice made the 200-metre walk from one section of the stadium to another holding her daughters’ hands when the group of men abused her. 

‘As we were walking past a huge group of people, it was about a group of five or six men who decided to [hurl abuse],’ she told the Triple M Summer Breakfast radio show.

‘They were extremely, just, throwing vile abuse at me. So I continued to walk and then I stopped and I looked around at this group of men – and it was one guy in particular.

‘They were laughing and they were pointing and they thought that what they did was okay.

‘So I decided to confront these guys. I didn’t have to, but with my girls in my hand I thought it was really important to confront them.

‘Because for us, my actions need to mirror the messages that I give to my kids.’

Candice said the response from the group when she confronted them was telling. 

‘Like any group of men who have been drinking, they were weak, they were gutless, they didn’t own up to what they did and the man who was actually yelling this abuse was hiding behind his friend,’ she said.

‘I just said, “Do you feel good about yourself trying to intimidate me, to belittle me, to embarrass me in front of my kids? You clearly don’t have kids yourself. It’s not okay. It’s not okay to bully someone. It’s not okay to make fun of other people.”

‘The sad thing is, in a time where we’re trying to encourage more women [and] more young girls to participate in sport, to attend sport, that I am now starting to feel like it’s not safe for me and my kids to attend sport and support their father.’

Candice said it was equally disappointing that nobody in the crowd defended them or even checked on their welfare after the shocking attack.
