Anthony Bell is reportedly staying with his longtime friend Michael Clarke after he became embroiled in a fiery brawl between the former Australian cricket captain and his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough in a public park in Noosa.
The drama ‘seems unlikely’ to affect their long-standing friendship, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
As for Today show host Karl Stefanovic, who weighed in on the highly public spat, his decades-long ties with the former cricket captain have ended.

‘Michael has sent text messages to Karl and another to Jade’s parents. So far, they have fallen on deaf ears,” said a source New Idea.
The insider added that Stefanovic “doesn’t forgive easily.”
“Karl has told Jade that as long as Michael’s ex Pip Edwards is still in his life, it can’t end well,” they said.
“Karl wants Jade to cut her losses and go ahead and meet someone else and let Michael learn his lesson the hard way.”

All hell broke loose when Clarke, Stefanovic and the Yarbrough sisters were having dinner at a beachside restaurant in Noosa with Bell.

The video opens with Yarbrough yelling at Clarke before she punches him in the face and pushes him after the cricketer insists he didn’t cheat on her.
‘I’m wrong? I’m fucking wrong! You are a fucking liar. Ican see everything. You called her,” she yells, apparently referring to the messages between Clarke and Edwards.
At one point, Stefanovic’s wife, Jasmine, finally steps in and grabs her distraught sister by the arm and drags her away.
Jasmine can be heard saying, “Go to Karl, go out to Karl.”
As she is led away, Yarbrough can be heard crying as she turns to Clarke and howls, “I hate you.”
Clarke then tries to follow Yarbrough before he unleashes a wave of rage on Stefanovic, apparently because he is leaving with the two sisters.
‘Karlos, I can tell you now shit, don’t walk away. She can, she can hit me, but you idiot,” says Clarke.
This comment provokes the fury of Yarbrough, who defends his brother-in-law before slapping Clarke repeatedly across the face.
The ugly altercation unfolded in front of young children who were nearby, according to stunned witnesses. (Jade pictured left supporting Karl and Jasmine in their debut as a couple in May 2017)
Karl and his wife Jasmine were forced to intervene during the ugly altercation between Clarke and his girlfriend.
Stefanovic and Bell can be heard telling the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.
The ugly altercation unfolded in front of young children who were nearby, according to stunned witnesses.
A remorseful Clarke has since taken full responsibility for what happened.
I am absolutely heartbroken, I have 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,” he told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday.
“I am devastated that by my actions I have brought women of class and integrity, and my peers, into this situation.”
Daily Mail Australia has contacted all other parties involved for comment.
