Laidley is a former star coach who played for the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne in the Australian Football League from 1987 to 1997. He “officially” announced his transition in 2020, shocking many fans with his dramatic transformation from “Dean” to “Dani.”
The 56-year-old ex-footballer reportedly kept his gender identity a “secret” until photos of him in women’s clothing were accidentally sent to his daughters on Snapchat in 2019.
“I sort of started to live my life as me with a small group of friends, but not in front of my children,” explained Laidley. “I would try my darndest to keep the two very separate.”
Laidley explained that in addition to learning how to use the picture-sharing app, he was struggling with a meth addiction at the time.
“I was learning how to use Snapchat because that’s how I communicated particularly with the girls every day. And one Sunday morning, I was learning how to do it. I didn’t have my glasses on… Instead of pressing save, I pressed send. They got pictures of me,” he said.
As well as losing contact with his family after coming out, Laidley, who is over 6-feet tall, was arrested in May 2020 for stalking a woman after bombarding the victim, a former tenant, with over 100 menacing phone calls, emails and text messages.
”I am going to ram you with the car when you leave,” Laidley reportedly said to the woman, calling her a “slut” and a “cunt.” When police arrived, Laidley was wearing a dress, makeup, and a blond wig. A plastic bag containing 0.43g of methamphetamine crystals was found tucked into his bra.
During the trial, Laidley’s lawyer blamed his behavior on “gender dysphoria.”
