Criticisms are trailing the rough tackling of a topless woman who stormed the pitch during the Aussie rugby league match over the weekend.
This is just as the boyfriend of the lady has dumped her for what he called disgraceful behaviour.
Javon Johanson interrupted the game between the Gold Coast Titans and the Parramatta Eels on Saturday, April 9, after stripping down to her bra and storming the pitch – something she later claimed was on her “bucket list”.
She was eventually crash-tackled by a steward on the pitch.
The tackle has, however, received wide criticisms across Australia. Commentators believe the situation could have been better handled by the official who brought her down.
After being escorted from the pitch and thrown out of the stadium, Johanson said she was happy with her punishment.
“I got what I deserved. [The security guard] was doing his job,” she told Seven News. “I used to play AFL and rugby and I have three brothers, so getting tackled was not a problem.
“I know exactly what I did. It’s been a bucket list thing and when your friends say, ‘I dare you to do it’, you don’t actually think you’re going to do it. It was such a surreal, out-of-body experience,” she added.
“It’s the adrenaline of the crowd. You just hear this big roar and I was like, ‘I need to take off my top now’. I was so close to doing my bra but I was like, ‘No … that’s a bit far’.”
She also disclosed that her boyfriend had no idea that she was planning the stunt.
She added that he sent her a brutal text message afterward, saying: “You’re an idiot and a disgrace. Thank you for an absolute embarrassment. Don’t try contact me.”
She also captioned her TikTok post: “When your man doesn’t come to the footy but wakes up to this.”
