When WAGS Go Bad

Frankly, there are so many highlights in this article about footballer Brent Harvey’s partner Shayne McClintock’s fisticuffs with a woman who insulted her after snatching a pillow from her son Cooper (and shortly afterwards, the lady who tried to stop Shayne laying the smackdown on aforementioned insult-slinging woman), we’re almost beside ourselves.

The partner of Kangaroos footy star Brent Harvey has escaped conviction for punching two mothers at a children’s play centre after one of them called her “trailer trash”.

…

Ms McClintock ran at Ms Nance, who was carrying her one-year-old, and punched her in the head from behind. Off-duty officer Tania Perry, who was holding hands with her two-year-old, was belted in the jaw by Ms McClintock as she tried to pull her off Ms Nance.

A well-timed fist to the skull is undoubtedly the smartest way to clear up any misconceptions folk may have regarding how classy you are.

Defence barrister Tony Burns said Ms McClintock “saw red” after Ms Nance took the cushion from her son Cooper, who fell backward and looked upset. Mr Burns told the court Ms Nance thought Cooper shouldn’t have been playing with the cushions. Ms Nance then called Ms McClintock a “f—wit” and “trailer trash”, prompting her out-of-character act, he said.
