At first there were nerves and chubbiness, then came wild soaring leg-breaks, followed by fame and bamboozling flippers. For a long while there were women, then a bookmaker, then diet pills, then more women - and headlines, never-ending headlines. Despite being the greatest spinner ever to have graced the game, Shane Warne's misdemeanours off the field have often taken precedence over his actions on it.

His tendency of being controversy's favourite child, once again, came to fore when he was accused of assaulting a pornstar at a night club in London. According to reports, Warne and Valerie Fox were seen arguing at the Loulou's nightclub in Mayfair on Friday night.

The reports further suggest that the onlookers were absolutely shocked as the 30-year-old pornstar fell on the floor clutching her face. The Metropolitan Police is understood to be investigating if CCTV captured any incident at the nighclub in central London.

 

Absolutely traumatised by tonight's events, being a victim of assault is horrible and I thank the @metpoliceuk for their help & support.

While it's still not sure if the pair spent the evening together or met inside the club, the British pornstar posted a series of tweets to confirm the incident. "Absolutely traumatised by tonight's events, being a victim of assault is horrible and I thank the @metpoliceuk for their help & support," she tweeted.

And no, I'm not lying. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you can hit women and get away with it. pic.twitter.com/dk7PPhTiCg

After sharing the details of the unfortunate incident with her fans, Valerie went on to share her police incident card on Twitter. "And no, I'm not lying. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you can hit women and get away with it," read her tweet.

Proud of yourself? Hitting a woman? Vile creature. pic.twitter.com/RRnn3Ycfjp

Posting the picture of her black eye, Valerie - who describes herself as an "International Temptress" on Twitter - blasted Warne with another tweet where she labelled the former Aussie spinner a 'Vile Creature'.

Thank you to my lovely followers for all your kind messages and support, means a lot. ?????

And, in the end, she thanked her followers for all the support and kind messages.

Though the investigation if still on, but if found guilty, Warne could lose his lucrative television contracts. But, this isn't the first time he has hogged the limelight for wrong reasons.

In 2000, the Oz was stripped off his vice-captaincy after sexting a British nurse. His ways with the women also led to a turbulent end to his marriage with wife Simone Callahan in 2005 with allegations of cheating coming to fore.

In 2007, Warne and Simone got back together only to split once again after the spin legend mistakenly sent her an intimate text message actually meant for another woman.
