MAFS star who once snorted lines of white powder off a stripper's bottom and breasts says the Sydney Swans players involved in sexual assault probe should not be allowed near the club: 'I don't think this is right'

A Married At First Sight veteran who was caught on camera snorting white powder off a stripper's body has weighed in on the Sydney Swans sexual assault probe. 

Telv Williams, who appeared on the Channel Nine dating experiment in 2018, shared a clip to social media on Thursday saying that the five players involved in the investigation should not be allowed back at the club while it is ongoing.

'Some facts have come out about this situation: we know now that they hired topless barmaids, and I saw headlines which said one of the girls was touched inappropriately,' Telv began.

'All the players have been suspended, which I think is great! It's a step in the right direction.'

Telv added that he didn't think the five players involved should be allowed back at their AFL club while the matter was still being investigated.

'What worries me is these guys returning to their club. Why would you allow them at your club when you have a team full of women? We all know that one in four women will experience sexual assault in her lifetime, those numbers are insane,' Telv said.

He added that some women could be 'triggered' by seeing the players and that permanent bans would be better for everyone. 

'Honestly hope the club reconsiders letting the guys go to the club, as some of the women footballers may find this super triggering. If the AFL is serious about growing the women's game, they can't allow these blokes anywhere near the club,' he said.

In March 2018, shocking footage surfaced of Telv appearing to snort white powder off a stripper's bottom.

In images first published by Woman's Day, the FIFO worker was also shown posing next to the topless dancer while holding a bag of white powder in his mouth.

An anonymous source quoted in the magazine said: 'Telv wasn't at a bucks party in the video, he was hanging out at a mate's place. They were bored and decided to hire a stripper to party with.'

According to the publication, Telv's alleged behaviour in the footage is apparently 'nothing out of the ordinary' as he 'loves partying'.

The father-of-two, who split with his on-screen wife Sarah Roza, was portrayed as a doting single dad on the Nine show - but he has never denied having a tumultuous past. 

Two months later, footage emerged of Telv snorting white powder off a stripper's breasts.

The footage - which was exclusively obtained by Daily Mail - shows the 'lonely, single dad' giving a thumbs up to the camera after inhaling the substance.

It is believed the incident occurred on the same night he was recorded snorting white powder off a dancer's bottom.

In the footage Telv snorts a line of white powder off the stripper's breasts through a rolled-up $50 note.

The woman, whose face was not seen, lied back on a leather chair and appears to be wearing knee-high boots and a red garter belt. 

Swans players Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Riley Bice, Nick Blakey and James Jordon have been stood down for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season after the club found they breached its standards by staying out late, drinking and bringing women back to the Pullman East Melbourne hotel early Monday morning. 

Heeney has been revealed as the focus of the police probe.

The suspensions are separate from a Victoria Police investigation into an alleged sexual assault at the hotel. No charges have been laid and all players have denied wrongdoing.

Detectives from Victoria Police's sex crimes squad are expected to travel to Sydney to formally interview the players involved after the woman at the centre of the allegations made a formal complaint on Tuesday.

It's understood detectives are focusing on the alleged actions of Heeney, who spoke with police on Monday before he returned to Sydney. None of the players have been formally interviewed.

A source told The Age that the players were allegedly in a room with naked women, with one performing lap dances, and that Heeney, who was clothed, was the subject of the complaint.

There are also allegations that cocaine and ketamine were in the players' room.

Swans chair Andrew Pridham and chief executive Matthew Pavlich were asked about illicit drug allegations at Wednesday's media conference.

They were also asked if the players had been drug tested, which was quickly dismissed.

'That's potentially part of the police matter, which we aren't going to go near,' Pavlich said.

Details emerged on Wednesday that the five Swans players had taken exotic dancers up to one of their hotel rooms at about 4am Monday for 'private lap dances'.

Several hours later, at about 7am, two women were seen in a shared area of the hotel approaching staff and demanding access to guest rooms, according to witnesses.

One of the women was overheard telling hotel staff she had been 'touched' and had felt overwhelmed while surrounded by several men in a room.

Sources claim she may have been locked out of the room, possibly naked, and was protesting that she had been violated, the Herald Sun reported.

It's understood she approached a Swans official in the lobby and made a complaint, asking to retrieve her clothes from the room on a level that had been booked out by the club.

Police were called after one of the women later ran into the hotel toilets crying.

Several high-profile figures have publicly expressed their support for the alleged sexual assault victim, who is understood to have done extensive modelling and has a strong social media following.

Friends of the alleged victim defended the woman online on Wednesday night after a social media account criticised her.

One friend defended the woman for calling out behaviour which 'crossed the line' and slammed the critic for showing no respect.

The Swans issued an apology on behalf of the five suspended players on Wednesday evening.

'We are deeply sorry to everyone involved,' the joint statement read.

'We know that our behaviour has fallen well short of the standards expected of us and the values of our club.

'We know we have let down our partners and families, members, supporters, teammates, the AFLW team, corporate partners and everyone at the club and the wider community.

'We accept the club sanction and apologise for the impact this has had on those involved. Our focus will now be on rebuilding trust with the club and the community.'
