While Johnston said on 2GB that he considered the comments "disgraceful" and "unacceptable", he justified the players' behaviour by accusing Azzopardi of invading their privacy and behaving like a "peeping tom".
"What they said is outrageous, but they're only young blokes and in every pub in Sydney you can come across that language, and it doesn't make it right - it just makes it the reality of what it is," Johnston said.
"If a woman walks into some bars in Sydney she will be ogled, she will be treated as an object and that's the way it is. She doesn't have to walk into those bars."
Johnston continued his attack on the Nine Network for gatecrashing the players' party and even alleged it had breached the Surveillance Act of 2007 by recording the conversation.
