Barry Hall’s girlfriend has come out and defended the former footy player after he made vulgar comments about another player’s pregnant wife on live radio.
Lauren Brant, former star of children’s television show Hi-5, defended her partner saying, ‘I want people to know that Barry has an absolute heart of gold.’
‘He is the most adoring partner, loving and proud father, and would never want to offend any person, especially women. I say that as an empowered female myself,’ Ms Brant told The Herald Sun.

Hall was sacked from Triple M after he made the vile comments about former footy star Leigh Montagna’s wife Erinn who recently underwent a medical procedure called ‘sweep’ – used to help induce labour.
‘The doctor was a good looking rooster and around 40 years of age. He did a sweep with his fingers and licked his fingers afterwards,’ Hall said on live radio on Friday.
Lauren Brant’s statement defending the former radio presenter comes after Hall personally made a formal apology to Erin and the public.
Hall admitted, ‘It was a silly thing to say.’
‘It is not a reflection of who I am or what my views are. I am a proud father and dedicated partner and have nothing but respect for women,’ Hall told The Herald Sun.
