A 7PM Project interview with Kim Duthie, the 17 year old girl at the centre of the AFL naked photo / sex scandal, has taken another bizarre twist.
Yesterday in a media report Duthie admitted she had actually lied about having sex and taking drugs with former AFL player’s manager Ricky Nixon, 47. It was enough to prompt Nixon into threats to sue the AFL Player’s Association for its investigation.
But last night following an interview on 7PM, Duthie made a frank admission after the interview was over.
She told Dave Hughes, “I can tell already that you know…that everything I just said I lied about.”
Executive Producer, Craig Campbell said, ‘We invited Kim onto The 7PM Project to tell her side of the story. After hearing her comments at the end of the interview, we felt we couldn’t be part of a lie, so after much deliberation, we decided to air the comments she made after the interview concluded.”
Later she claimed she was joking.
Earlier in the day Ricky Nixon told Sunrise he had no deal with Duthie to retract her statement.
“There’s absolutely no deal between her and I whatsoever. Please, give me some respect,” he said.
But he was unable to explain how he ended up in a hotel room in his underwear.
He also appeared on The Footy Show last night. Sam Newman has denied any suggestion he was involved with Duthie.
The Office of Public Prosecutions is still considering if Nixon has a case to answer, but Police chief commissioner Simon Overland has said Duthie could potentially face charges if she made a false statement.

@ Ryano…Was it worth it? That much publicity for a measly 10 grand. 7pm producers would have been dancing in the corridors.
People complaining and professing surprise about the media exploiting and cashing in on the needy and mentally ill. That’s kinda ironic actually.
The 7PM Project paid Kim Duthie $10,000 for the interview according to Derryn Hinch
Was it worth it?
The Media Must stop giving her attention … immediately … this is now a National Embarrassment … we all know this is typical football world behavior and no-one needs to be reminded of their dirty little secrets!
How many days is she from her 18th birthday? Coz that’s how many days until her only income will be from spreads in Picture magazine…
