In April, Finlayson was suspended by the Port Adelaide Football Club for three games after he made a homophobic slur at an opponent.
During the podcast episode of his show, Luke and Sassy Scott, O’Halloran revealed his past relationship with a player from the league.
The two were afraid of being spotted together.
During the podcast episode, O’Halloran revealed that he and the player enjoyed each other’s company, but their relationship ended due to toxicity.
He also stated that they were afraid of being perceived as gay.
There was also a side to the player that O’Halloran revealed was frightening, as he was afraid that he would be identified as gay due to the league’s toxic environment.
O’Halloran decided to come out due to the pressure he felt. During an interview on The Fox’s The Fifi, Fev, and Nick show, he discussed the reasons behind his decision to open up about his relationship with the former player. He said that he had been thinking about the issue for a long time and it was something he had never felt the need to share.
During the interview, O’Halloran confirmed that he and the player had a long-term relationship, but they ended due to toxicity. He stated that he would never reveal the identity of the player. He also criticized the league for its lack of support for its employees and players.
On the podcast, I talked about my relationship with a former player. Although he refused to reveal the identity of the individual, O’Halloran noted that his teammates knew about their relationship. He also stated that the player had some very good friends.
We used to have the deepest connection, but he was afraid of the community’s reaction to their relationship and the league’s lack of support. He also said that he felt nothing but hate when he talked about it recently.
