According to the Sydney Morning Herald, former Australian cricket team captain Michael Clarke was caught on camera fighting with his partner Jade Yarbrough in Noosa. Yarbrough was seen accusing Clarke of cheating on her in a video that was released by The Daily Telegraph. Yarbrough even appeared to have struck Clarke during the confrontation. The TV host Karl Stefanovic, who is dating Jasmine Yarbrough’s sister, also made an appearance in the video attempting to maintain control.
While Clarke, the former captain of Australia, denied having an extramarital relationship with his ex-girlfriend Pip Edwards, Yarbrough was observed yelling insults at Clarke. He was eventually removed from the situation by a few others. “I’m absolutely gutted I’ve put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable,” Clarke told the Telegraph.
“I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation … I own this fully and am the only one at fault,” he added. The Queensland Police accused both Clarke and Yarbrough of causing a public disturbance, and The Guardian further claimed that both were punished by the authorities as a result of the event.
Clarke and Yarbrough were fined by Queensland police for public nuisance. “No other offences were detected during the investigation,” a police spokesman said. “There is no further information available, and the investigation has been finalised.”
