In an interview with NZ Herald, Whanau made comments about the night that caused her to come forward about her drinking problem, but she would not go into detail about what happened that night.

“There wasn’t like an incident that I was embarrassed about, it was more that my, my personal journey has been made public,” she said in the interview.
