Channel Seven is believed to have paid $25,000 for an amateur video of network star Andrew O’Keefe allegedly drunk on the streets of Melbourne.
According to News Limited, a Melbourne bouncer had been hawking the footage around to the major networks and that when Nine made inquiries yesterday A Current Affair producer Grant Williams was told: “Channel 7 has snapped it up for $25,000.”
“The vision is absolutely clear and irrefutable,” Nine spokesman David Hurley said last night. “O’Keefe’s splayed in the street, profoundly inebriated. He has to be helped to his feet by a blonde woman who disappears down the street. I don’t think you’ll be seeing it any time soon on Today Tonight.”
O’Keefe is said to have been filmed crawling down Chapel St, Prahran, looking disoriented and being helped to his feet by a mystery blonde companion.
The footage, outside Melbourne nightclub Revolver, is believed to be a couple of weeks old.

thatd def be a good laugh!. i really want to see it now!!
everyone knows aok is a fake…
I would love to see this video it be a good laugh, I hate Andrew O’Keefe!
There’s a Kate Ritchie video?
AOK = Legend
The video would probably show him being genuinely entertaining rather than his painful act on his shows…
good on him!
just wish i could see the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9 are really scraping the barrel, kerry would turn in his grave
Love Andrew anyway
Its No (big) Deal! lol
Seven, the same network that tried to buy football players medical records. a hint of hypocrisy is in the air
Not big news at all, leave OK alone.
“Who cares if he got drunk. Everyone gets drunk and wonders around City streets. Its no big deal.”
Oh no they don’t. Plenty of people don’t drink to excess, and find drunkenness creepy. Binge drinking has become much more prevalent in Gen X and Y than in previous generations.
Anyway, having said that, it’s still nobody’s business but AOK’s. These two networks have become really trashy with their gutter stories about each other. Don’t they realise it just makes them both look cheap and nasty, and most of us don’t give a rat’s??
Typical for 7 to cover it up. Must be a drinking culture there with Meakin and co
If this was a footy player from any code the scumbags at 7 would have this as their lead story
this’ll either backfire completely on c9 and/or open up the possibility of station celebrities now being stalked / followed with the hope they “become inebriated”….
“I don’t think you’ll be seeing it any time soon on Today Tonight.”
LOL I had to laugh at this for the numerous different reasons and suggestions already said by knoxoverstreet, Lowie and jer.
So what? O’Keefe got drunk. Who hasn’t?
Nine are the worst TV network in Australia. They themselves are already crawling through the men’s urinal trough; now they are chasing cigarette butts down the drain. Bunch of f-ing morons.
Who gives a rats ass.
Any opportunity to nab at seven. Nine is completely pathetic, i hate that network with a passion and its no friggin wonder why seven s**** all over it and its shoddy programming.
I am surprised Channel 9 didn’t buy it and then put it on You Tube.
I think people are allowed a little privacy.
Of course they would. If it were say,Eddie,7 would be all over it.
And lol everyone gets drunk and wanders around city streets..yeah if your a bogan!
Jer, that’s the sad thing – neither of them can claim the moral high ground.
It wouldn’t make a difference to his career, god Rudd in the middle of an election campaign was accused of a big night out at the Strippers in NYC, and if anything it helped him! Who cares, even if 9 had the footage and run it, its not like A’OK is a Brain Surgeon or a Priest, people would forget about it pretty quick, did Kate Ritchie’s career end cos of ‘that video’ which has been online for numerous years, it would’ve been forgotten about within a week, even if 9 had run it.
Winner = the Bouncer for managing to turn a random sighting into $25,000
Loser = Seven for paying $25,000 hush money!
Last I looked, public drunkenness was still an offence.
Is he as nauseating drunk a he is sober?Any bad press about this nutter is good press.How can two great shows be hosted by the same nob??
Hahahahahhahahahahahhahhahahahahhhaha….when will he stop?
If this was the other way around, channel 7 wouldn’t hesitate at showing the footage on TT.
Nice photo too david looks like he’s off his face
Who cares if he got drunk. Everyone gets drunk and wonders around City streets. Its no big deal *rolleyes*
I think it’s more of a story that 7 actually paid money to keep this hushed.
LMAO. Why am I not surprised ACA were interested in getting this. It would have fallen under one of their more quality stories this year too…
I hope the video gets out … I can’t stand the sight of him and love to see his so called career go down the toilet so someone “talented” could get the roles instead of him due to his “connections”.
Jack!
Ah the pettiness.
how is this a big deal? He’s an adult, who presumably wasn’t driving…having a night on the piss…wowweee!
Would ch9 snoop so low as to actually use the footage if they had it?
If Nine had got this they would have had a field day !!
The guy is a workaholic. He deserves a drunk night.
so what …people are allowed to be drunk arent they?
Don;t know what is more appalling – Netwrok bailing out of its “stars” (err disasters) or the bouncer selling footage.
Wonder who the bouncer worked for and whether his employer happy with his actions.
I’d pay good money to see this, too
Hope this makes the Christmas tape…
bless, id love to have seen that..ACA would have ran stories on it for a week if they got hold of it…Seven have A-OK over a barrell now, if he ever defects from seven, they will have that on TT the following day!!
Memo to David Hurley from the Australian Television viewers:
Who cares!!!
Maybe if Nine spent as much time on this issue as it did on its programming maybe you would still be number one.
Talk about total lack of focus or maybe this is the new strategy to win the 5:30 timeslot – dump on the host of the show you are losing to; which you never know might be more successful approach compared to the failed attempts this year.
So what? Its means he is human, right?
Was he staring fights in the video? Causing trouble? Harrasing people? Taking Drugs? Relieving himself? Abusing bouncers? Seen driving home?
Does not sound like it from the video Description. Why is Australia and the media becoming a bunch of wowsers. This bouncer should be ashamed of himself
So what? Who hasn’t gone on a bender?
Nine, you’re a disgrace of an excuse for a network, and the lows you sink to are absolutely f***ing disgusting. Feeding trash stories about rival network employees to the Herald Sun? Shame.
Meanwhile, guess Revolver’s hiring if you’re a bouncer…
