Wests Tigers utility Josh Reynolds has posted a cryptic message on social media in the wake of distressing footage emerging on Wednesday of the NRL star verbally abusing a woman.

Reynolds is seen in the 37-second video screaming obscene abuse at the woman, who’s filming the incident on her phone, calling her a “c***” and a “dog”.

He then took to Instagram to share a quote from author Michael Cheshire, writing: “Truth. Always. Wins. Unfortunately ... Liars gets their turns first.

In an earlier statement issued by the Wests Tigers, the club stated: “Both Josh and Wests Tigers have previously alerted the NRL Unit as to this matter and will continue to work closely with them as required.

“As the subject matter is before the courts, Wests Tigers will be making no further comment.”

“Give me my phone, where the f*** is it?” Reynolds demands in the video. The woman then sniffs and says “I don’t even know, Josh.”

Reynolds continues: “Get out of my house. I want you out now. I want you out now or I’m going to f***ing flip it. I swear to god I’m going to flip it,” he says pointing and shirtless.

An NRL spokesman told foxsports.com.au in response to the video: “The Integrity Unit is continuing to work with NSW Police, the Wests Tigers and Josh Reynolds on this matter.”
