It’s the public family feud almost all of Australia has weighed in on.
Earlier this week, Sydney Swans captain Kieren Jack’s family tensions were exposed, after his mother took to Twitter to express her anger at being banned from attending one of the most important games in his career.
It was rumoured that the tension stemmed from his parents’ disapproval of his girlfriend, Charlotte Goodlett.
Now, radio personality Ben Fordham has defended Jack and his partner, saying the pair are ‘going through hell at the moment.’
Fordham says Jack’s parents are to blame for the feud, describing the Swans caption as a “superstar…a class act.”
“It seems like Kieren’s mum and dad have got a problem with Kieren’s girlfriend,” Fordham said on Sydney’s 2GB. “There’s problems there within the family. I have been aware of these problems for a long time now.”
