Abbey Holmes has spoken out about a storm which erupted over a post-match interview she conducted with Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale, where Neale reached over to peck the sports reporter on the cheek before jogging off – revealing she was upset by the commentary surrounding the kiss which was “blown out of proportion”.
A casual peck on the cheek caused a significant backlash for Channel Seven reporter Abbey Holmes and Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale , but the former AFL W player has hit back.
“The fact that this article came out a week after the fact shows how much of a non-news story this is," Holmes said on AFL Podcast, Footy Talk. Holmes, however, questioned why she wasn’t asked in the first instance if it was something she had a problem with. “The one thing that upset me was the professionalism aspect of that article - I’ve worked so hard over such a long period of time now to build relationships, to build trust, to build rapport with these players and coaches and make them feel like they are in a really safe space when they’re with me. And that’s what probably upset me the most," she said.
