Tuesday 25 October 2022 09:10 AM Candice Warner says she has 'learned to live' with being publicly shamed trends now
Candice Warner has revealed that she's gotten used to cruel comments from trolls - but it's been a difficult journey.
The cricket WAG told WHO magazine this week that she has become a 'survivor' in the wake of the harassment.
'I had my integrity kicked to the curb after being publicly shamed as a woman, wife and mother, without a single regard for my emotional wellbeing - no-one deserves that,' she told the magazine.

'When I look back at the past 30 years, I'm proud of the person I've become. I'm a survivor.'
Candice went on to say that she hopes to be a good example for her young daughters.
'Resilience and dogged determination run through my veins. Our girls are all strong characters - they're confident and caring, and already have the skills to figure out what's right and wrong' she said.

'I want them to always know that feeling compromised is not okay. To look in the mirror and be proud of the remarkable people they've become.'
It comes after Candice opened up about her husband David's ball-tampering scandal in South Africa and the painful legacy of her 'toilet tryst' with former NRL star Sonny Bill Williams in an emotionally raw new interview.
The former Ironwoman told The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show podcast it had required 'incredible resilience' to withstand such public humiliation.

Candice, who suffered a miscarriage due to the stress of the ball-tampering scandal in 2018, told host Jessica Rowe she had 'learned to live' with the vile sexist abuse from cricket fans stemming from her 2007 indiscretion with Sonny Bill.
'I've kind of had to live with it, I have gotten used to it,' Candice said of the abuse she cops on social media and from crowds at her husband's cricket matches.
'Just the other day I went for a walk and people were calling things out... in this day and age, it blows my mind to think people are so narrow-minded, but I have learnt to live with it,' she added.

Candice said that while in South Africa in the lead-up to her husband's cheating scandal, she felt 'embarrassed' by the spectators' 'horrible' taunts.
'When I did see that in South Africa, all I was trying to do was support my husband and cheer on the Australian team and I was forced to defend myself and almost hide because I was embarrassed. It was a horrible, horrible thing,' she said.
'[The crowd behaviour] should never have been allowed and the officials who posed with [Sonny Bill] masks on and thought it was funny... it goes to show how far I feel we've come since then and that behaviour is just not tolerated.'
