Aaron Smith toilet scandal
He has been in the news previously for a story not related to rugby. At the Christchurch Airport, he was caught having sex with a woman in one of the airport bathrooms.
The story was broken by a woman and her husband who were at the airport with their children. They said the event took place on September 18th, the day after the All Blacks’ test with Springboks. The entire team was at the food court dressed in their national uniform, and it was around 2 pm.

The husband reported that he took notice initially because the woman with Smith was attractive. Speaking to Stuff, he said:
"The girl was, to be frank, quite attractive early 20s, and well-dressed which, in all honesty, is what caught my attention first before I saw Smith follow her."
They then went into one of the bathroom stalls and “rhythmic tapping noises” could be heard. They said it seemed obvious what they were doing. The couple then searched Aaron Smith girlfriend (whose name is Teagan Voykovich) and found that she was not the one in the bathroom with him. While he thought it was funny, his wife said she got angrier the more she thought about it and wanted to speak out.
She said:
“I have never actually reported anything to a newspaper or anything. We don't want to convey the fact that we are narking or gossiping about his private life. It is kind of beside the point... Most people would not do that, let alone a public figure. They are kings and treated like absolute royalty...We hold these people so high in regard. They get paid more money than any other athlete, they're household names, and they are on the Weetabix boxes for God's sake.”
Aaron Smith and Teagan Voykovich became engaged after the incident.

Daily Mail Aaron Smith
The Daily Mail managed to get a hold of the text messages between Aaron Smith and the mystery woman. They show how the event in question was planned. The woman said:
“When we got caught he lied about what had happened and asked me to stick to the story he had told his new girlfriend and coach, which essentially put the blame on me. He just told me if anyone asks to say nothing, but if I have to then to just go along with that story, which I wasn't happy about because it made me look like more easily attainable than what I am.”
Her legal team is now involved in the story. You can view the complete collection of uncovered text messages by clicking here.
