The final insult: Michael Clarke’s ASSISTANT parties at her boss’ former best friend Anthony Bell’s wedding with his ex Jade Yarbrough – while shunned cricketer spends time with family
Michael Clarke’s glamorous personal assistant Sasha Armstrong attended his former best friend Anthony Bell’s wedding this weekend, while her boss was banned from the A-list event.
The blonde beauty shared a series of photos on her Instagram as she celebrated the celebrity accountant’s wedding to former cricket WAG Annika Martyn.
The footage shows Sasha cooking up a storm with Michael’s ex-girlfriend Jade Yarbrough at the couple’s wild after-party in Noosa on Sunday.
She showed off her figure in a skimpy black bikini and sheer mini dress as she partied with Jade.
Sasha also posted a photo of the newlyweds cutting their wedding cake during their reception on Saturday.
‘What a magical weekend. So much love in one room. Mr. and Mrs. Bell,” she captioned the footage.

While Michael’s personal assistant partied with a glittering guest list of Australian sports and showbiz royalty, the sports star quietly celebrated his daughter’s birthday on Sunday.
The cricket legend shared a photo on Instagram hugging his young daughter Kelsey as she cut her cake.
‘Growing up way too fast [LOVE HEART] #9,” he captioned the images.
Many of Michael’s friends flocked to the comments to wish Kelsey, who he shares with ex-wife Kyly Clarke, a happy birthday.
His new girlfriend Arabella Sherborne also weighed in on the comments, posting three love heart emojis.
Michael was noticeably absent from Anthony’s wedding and afterparty this weekend.
However, there is no mystery as to why he wasn’t there. It all stems from an incident that happened almost two years ago, not far from Bell’s palatial home.
Anthony and Michael’s long-standing friendship came under strain after the retired Australian cricket captain was filmed having a heated argument with his ex-girlfriend Jade Yarbrough outside a restaurant in Noosa in January 2023.

In the footage, filmed by a passer-by, Jade tearfully accused Michael of sleeping with his ex-girlfriend, fashion designer Pip Edwards, behind her back.
Michael protested his innocence and swore on his daughter’s life that he never did it, while Today presenter Karl Stefanovic – Jade’s brother-in-law and Michael’s friend – tried to stop the row.
It was a PR disaster that ‘Pup’ will never survive – and it appears to have cost him his friendship with both Karl and Anthony, who was also his business partner.
The rift between Clarke and Bell became public in March when Michael signed with another management company. Around this time he did too sold his stake in the $15 million superyacht Ghost, which the couple had co-owned since 2022.
Months later, Anthony returned with a statement to the press clarifying that the end of their business relationship was directly related to their personal feud.
“The events of 2023 have taken their toll on the friendship between me and Michael, which has obviously made it impossible to maintain a business relationship,” the money man said.
‘We wish Michael all the best in his future.’
Despite ending his friendship with Michael, Anthony is clearly still on good terms with the sportsman’s ex-girlfriend Jade, who was spotted at his wedding.

Anthony and Annika tied the knot near Noosa on Saturday.
Their wedding took place on the Sunshine Coast at Yandina Station – a working cattle ranch converted into a luxury estate on a 14-hectare estate, with panoramic views of Mt Coolum.
After saying “yes,” Annika and Anthony entertained their guests at a reception in the venue’s historic Dairy Barn.
On Sunday, they invited a glittering guest list of Australian sports and showbiz royalty to a light-hearted afterparty at his waterfront mansion.
