A video showing an 'altercation' between former Aussie cricketer Michael Clarke and Today Show host Karl Stefanovic went viral this week.
In the video, obtained by the Daily Telegraph, Clarke is seen out with Stefanovic and their partners, sisters Jade and Jasmine Yarbrough, in a Noosa park on January 10. The couples and celebrity accountant Anthony Bell had been at dinner at a nearby beachside restaurant.
To clear up the confusion around the headlines, we've broken down exactly what was in this video and the statements made since the footage circulated.
The video.
An argument between Clarke and Jade appears to have broken out after she said she had been in contact with Clarke's ex, PE Nation designer Pip Edwards.
Video footage shows a shirtless Clarke in a park, limping with a seemingly injured leg and surrounded by people attempting to calm the situation. Jade can be heard yelling before slapping him in the face after he claims he did not cheat.
"I'm wrong? I'm f****ng wrong? You're a f***ing liar. I can see everything. You called her," Jade screams, according to the Daily Mail.
At one point, Jasmine steps in and drags her sister away, before Clarke begins yelling at Stefanovic.
"Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don't you f*****g walk away. She can, she can punch me, but you, you c**t,'" Clarke reportedly says.
"You piece of s**t, don't you f*****g speak to him," Jade reportedly yells, defending Stefanovic.
Stefanovic and Bell can be heard telling the couple to stop fighting, before Clarke tells Jade, "Go, hit me hit me… do it again, you're wrong, you're f**king wrong".
"Oh am I wrong? You f**ked her on December 17, you f**ked her… you're a f**king dog… I'm going to show her every f**king message you ever f**king sent me."
As this plays out, bystanders in the park can be heard telling the group to take themselves elsewhere.
"I accept full responsibility."
In a statement to the Daily Telegraph, Clarke said: "I accept full responsibility for this altercation and am shattered by my actions".
He and Jade went 'Instagram official' in August 2022, and made an official outing together to the Louis Vuitton SEE LV exhibition opening in November.
It is believed they were introduced by Stefanovic, who has been married to Jade's sister Jasmine since 2018.
"Not my circus."
Meanwhile, Edwards has released a statement blaming Clarke for the public fracas, which she was unexpectedly dragged into.
"This is not my circus," she said in a statement to the Daily Mail. "Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to."
Edwards and Clarke dated from mid-2020 to late-2021. He and ex-wife Kyly announced their separation in February 2020.
