The woman in the foreground of the Latrell Mitchell ‘white powder’ photo has outed herself on social media.
After the leaked image caused a massive NRL storm, Amy Brown took to Facebook to make a joke.
“Disappointed that they got my bad side,” she said. “Done me dirty.”

There are calls for the NRL to investigate who leaked the photo.
Brown also said there was “no shame” in wanting “to have fun”.
It has been reported by The Daily Telegraph that the NRL is aware of the Facebook posts.
News Corp also says some Dubbo locals are accusing Brown of leaking the photo of Mitchell.
However, Brown strongly rejects that and said she “didn’t even know the picture existed”.
Braydon Trindall’s mother, Kerri Cochrane, has also commented on the photo after rumours — about a NRL player’s mother and their involvement in the leak — swirled.
“As if I would do such a f**kin thing (leak the photo),” Cochrane she said on Facebook.
“TBH idgaf (I don’t give a f**k) what Latrell Mitchell does or anyone else for that matter and I don’t need to ruin someone’s life and footy career to make a quick buck.”
She suggested that someone had used her name to set up a fake Snapchat account to distribute the photo.
The photo is believed to have been taken in Dubbo over the weekend, where the injured Mitchell was conducting a women’s football skill clinic.
The 27-year-old is now back at home in Sydney’s south but has refused to answer questions.
His manager Matt Rose told 7NEWS on Tuesday that “Latrell is doing OK”.
“I mean, at this stage under NRL rules he can’t make any comment,” Rose said.
There is no suggestion the white powder in the photo is an illicit drug.
It is the third ‘white powder’ scandal in the NRL in three years.
Former NRL player Mitchell Pearce has called for the NRL to come down hard on the person who filmed his friend.
On Tuesday, Pearce said he felt for his former Sydney Roosters teammate and turned the blowtorch on the person who took the photo.
“I hope someone comes down hard on the person who’s filming these things,” Pearce said on the Half-Time podcast.
“It would be good to know what the laws are around this because it’s bullshit.
“You’d hope it’s not his mate, but whoever was in there and doing that stuff needs big repercussions.
“The game needs to find out who these people are and go hard on them.
“They should name and shame them because these people get away with murder and there’s no repercussions.”
Pearce had his own off-field scandals, including being banned for eight games and fined $75,000, when images of him simulating a lewd act with a dog surfaced in 2016.
Todd Carney also felt for Mitchell after his career ended two years earlier when an image of him performing a lewd act in a nightclub was also shared on social media.
“It’s sad to see the privacy broken again for a sports player,” Carney said on the same podcast.
“It’s a horrible feeling being on the back page at the best of times for anything, but it’s just sad to see because while we don’t know if he’s done the wrong thing or not.
“People listening will be saying ‘they shouldn’t have done the wrong thing’.
“But if he’s in an environment with his mates or whatever, by the looks of it, someone has taken from a distance.
“My worry is now for Latrell and how he handles it, what he does in the next 24 hours and if he comes out and owns it or shies away from it.
“That’s the concern for a player because we’re all human and we make mistakes.”
Mitchell is currently sidelined by a foot injury with no guarantee he will return this season given the Rabbitohs are out of finals contention.
The club has vehemently defended its decision to allow him to go the NSW country town for the weekend rather than attend its Round 22 clash with Cronulla.
He has not played since injuring his foot in Round 18 against Parramatta.
