While he's in a good place now, it has certainly been a rocky road for Todd over the past decade.
Even before his notorious viral photo, his bad boy antics led to him being dropped by the Canberra Raiders and the Sydney Roosters, thanks to a string of off-field misdemeanors.
In July 2008, Carney was alleged to have urinated on a man at a Canberra nightclub.
The complaint was later withdrawn, though Carney was sacked from the Raiders the following month.

He was also alleged to have set a man's pants on fire at a New Year's Eve party in 2009, and faced a low-range drink driving charge in 2011.
The Roosters stood him down the same year.
Cronulla swooped in to pick up the embattled star and signed him in October 2011 - but just three years down the track, the 'bubbler' photo would finally end his career.
Optimistically, Todd said in September this year: 'I've got a tattoo that says, "Everything happens for a reason." I believe it does.
'I wouldn't have played for the Roosters if I didn't get in trouble at the Raiders.
I wouldn't have played at Cronulla if I didn't get in trouble at the Roosters.'
Happily ever after: With his sporting career behind him, Todd seems to be living his best life.

With his sporting career behind him, Todd seems to be living his best life.
On Wednesday, fellow footy player Mitchell Pearce let slip in an interview with the 257 Collective podcast that his friend was about to become a father.
After heaping praise on his former Newcastle Knights teammate, Mitchell said: '[Todd's] going well now, he's killing it, having a baby and everything, he's on fire.'
Todd had dropped a major hint Susie, 27, was pregnant on Tuesday when he uploaded a photo to Instagram of himself, Susie and her five-year-old daughter, Baby, alongside a very telling caption.

'That Christmas feeling.
I love you three,' he captioned the post, referring to three people instead of just two.
Susie, who got engaged to Todd in October after they started dating in January last year, shares Baby with her ex-partner.
She rose to fame on the fifth season of Married At First Sight, which was filmed in 2018.
She was paired with barista Billy Vincent in Nine's social experiment.
