In 2020, On the episode of A Week with Warnie’ on Fox Cricket, Shane Warne did open up on the controversies he faced throughout his career.
“I live in the moment so sometimes you don’t think about the consequences and that was probably most of my trouble. I didn’t think what the consequences were or what effect it would have on other people.”
“It was a selfish thing. I did what I wanted to do, and that got me into a bit of trouble,” Warne said.
“I’m not proud of all of my decisions. I made some horrible mistakes and choices with things. But I was always true to myself and that’s what I’m proud of today. Some of the things were really hard to take. I let my family down, I embarrassed my children … but that’s something I have to live with.”
However, Warne also said that he has also done a lot of good things, but people don’t talk about it.
“But for all of those bad choices I’ve also been very proud of all the good things I’ve done,” Warne added.
“I’ve done a lot of good things but sometimes people like to harp on about the bad things because it’s a better headline.”
