British
model Heather McCartney has revealed that she stripped off in a
corporate box during the AFL Grand Final between Hawthorn and the Sydney
Swans as part of a bet.
The
Scottish 26-year-old took off her clothes in front of thousands of
Australian rules football fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on
Saturday - with the subsequent pictures causing a storm on social media.
After
receiving complaints, police arrived to arrest her - but she lashed
out, kicking, punching and biting the officers as they tried to handcuff
her.
Her team, Hawthorn, won back-to-back flags for the first time since 1988/89, with a 63-point win over Sydney.

McCartney spoke out after her court appearance on Sunday - and revealed she stripped off for a bet.

posted a raunchy photograph of herself, with her hair in pigtails,
wearing just a yellow bikini top and dark bottoms and a red AFL ball in
one hand on Monday morning.
She captioned: 'What a weekend! Had a blast with my girl. Melbourne.'
One
man who claimed he was in the box during the stunt said McCartney was
hired for the day and was promised double pay if she 'got naked and
cheered in front of everyone'.
Despite
receiving messages of congratulations on Facebook, the incident has
angered officials at the MCG,who have launched an investigation.
MCC
spokesman Shane Brown told the Herald Sun it would work with Victoria
Police and the client to establish the circumstances, and appropriate
action would be taken.
'From the evidence available, we are very disappointed ... and are taking the matter seriously,' he said.
An AFL spokesman said they were also awaiting on information from the MCC regarding the investigating.
AFL Fans Association spokesman Brian Clarke told the Herald Sun he was disgusted by the return of the 'blokey culture' to AFL.
'It’s a disgrace. It’s the people’s game and it’s for families,' he said.
The model appeared at a Melbourne court after a night in police custody
'This goes against everything the AFL has been trying to achieve. I hope the AFL come down hard on those who were behind this.'
The model was forced to the ground and cuffed in an unknown state of undress.
During
her arrest, she reportedly yelled ‘f*** off, I don’t have to tell you
anything, you f**ing r****d,’ before hitting an officer in the face, the
Sun Herald also claims.

The court was told that she accepted an invitation to attend the corporate box and dared to strip if Hawthorn won.
The Hawks (21.11.137) easily claimed the cup over the Sydney Swans (11.8.74).
However, there are claims that Ms McCartney was hired to strip, according to Herald Sun.
McCartney's lawyer told the court 'she didn’t understand at the time it could lead to police involvement'.
The court also heard that alcohol and strong medication for aplastic anaemia had made her unable to control her actions.
Magistrate Alan Spillane described her conduct as 'pretty nasty offending.'
'The
part I think is really worrying is basically you were biting and
hitting out at people who were out trying to do their job.'
At 6.15pm police received reports of a naked woman in a corporate box.
McCartney pleaded guilty to several charges including an act in an indecent manner.
