The sports star was embarrassed by the media attention, and the shame almost derailed her entire career. Although it happened more than a decade ago – and years before she even met her now-husband David – Candice still gets ridiculed for the indiscretion.

As recent as 2018, South African cricket fans donned ‘Sonny Bill’ masks to taunt David Warner, who was playing for the opposing team. Even players got in on the mockery, which resulted in a scuffle between David and SA wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.
