Bailey Smith is reportedly being supported by his girlfriend Gemma Dawkins after he was photographed holding a small bag containing an illicit substance.
Images circulated online on Saturday of the suspended Western Bulldogs AFL star holding up a bag containing white powder to the camera.
Smith was also filmed sniffing an unknown substance in a separate video.
Bailey Smith is being ‘quietly supported’ by his girlfriend Gemma Dawkins after shock white powder photo and ‘snorting’ video
According to the Herald Sun, Gemma has been supporting her boyfriend amid the scandal.
In the footage, separate from the image of Bailey holding a bag with white powder, a woman says, ‘I need a straw’.
Several moments later, he leans over, sniffs something, wipes his nose, and then leans over again.
Smith admitted to ‘making mistakes’ when the story broke on Saturday.
‘We are extremely disappointed to have observed social media content showing Bailey Smith with an illicit substance,’ said Western Bulldogs CEO Ameet Bains in a statement on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Smith confirmed he was in a new relationship during an interview with Code back in May.
In the chat, he said his ‘girlfriend’s’ father had seen him starring in shirtless adverts for fashion brand Cotton On, which are currently plastered on billboards across the country.
‘It’s funny. My girlfriend’s dad drives past it every day,’ he said.

‘It’s hilarious … It’s interesting but I don’t pay too much attention to it. I try not to. I just focus on my footy, because that’s what comes first, and all those other rewards with Cotton On and Monster come after that.
‘As long as I keep trying to perform and work hard during the week all those other fruits and exciting things come.’
Later that month, the Herald Sun reported he had been ‘quietly dating’ brunette Gemma Dawkins.
