Australia vice-captain David Warner says that "vile and disgusting" remarks about his wife prompted his altercation with South Africa's Quinton de Kock.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) fined both players for the incident during the first Test in Durban.
"I'll always stick up for my family and in that case my team-mates as well," Warner said.
"My emotional response was just something that I don't believe should have been said."
He added that "a comment that was vile and disgusting and about my wife and just in general about a lady was quite poor, I felt".
Warner was fined 75% of his match fee by the ICC on Wednesday and given three demerit points after video footage appeared to show him being restrained by team-mates during a row with the South Africa wicketkeeper.
