'St Kilda schoolgirl' Kimberley Duthie has revealed to social media her plans to release a tell-all book after receiving growing interest, perย The Herald Sun.
Duthie, now Kimberley Ametoglou, was at the face of a number of scandals involving the St Kilda Football Club between 2010 and 2011, where she leaked nude photos of players.
Duthie was also embroiled in a hotel room scandal involving player agent Ricky Nixon and told 60 Minutesย that she faked her pregnancy when dating former St Kilda player Sam Gilbert.
Posted to Instagram, Duthie revealed she would be releasing her memoirs following the expiration of her non-disclosure agreements.
โI canโt wait to share my truth and my life with you all,โ Duthie said.
โThis is one of the most challenging things I have ever done, reminiscing on past traumas and a time in my life that I was at absolute rock bottom.
โI wanted to be able to share what I couldnโt say 10 years ago during many TV interviews.
โNDA contracts have finally expired now itโs 2021 and itโs my chance to finally close a chapter.
โTo be able to use my own words and describe what happened to me, I was a child & victim in many scenarios, though be mindful there is a lot of graphic content warnings and plenty of things Iโm not proud of, though I want to be completely transparent & for it to be the truth.
โThis is my story โฆ So I can finally recover and gain closure.โ
Duthie added that her plans to release the tell-all piece were not for gaining attention but for closure.
โThe reason why I am writing the book is purely so I can heal and recover from all the trauma and PTSD that I was put through as a child and a teenager 10 years ago,โ she said.
โIt is not to create anymore controversy or to be thrown into the spotlight for the wrong reason again.
โI am just doing this as the last step of my journey so that I can move forward.
โI am a full-time mother and businesswoman. I donโt need to be thrown into the spotlight but people need to be accountable for what happened to me and what I was put through.
โTo my friends, family and most importantly my Instagram family, the strangers that DM me on the daily and gave me the strength that I needed and the push that I needed to be able to share my story, you helped me realise that I was a child and I was a victim in many scenarios.
โYou helped me see that I had a chance at a new life, you helped me when I had days that I was depressed, you helped me stop blaming myself for everything that happened.
โYou gave me a second chance. Itโs 10 years on and Iโve gone from being a child that blamed herself daily for what they put me through.โ
