Michael Clarke mocks wild Noosa fight with girlfriend Jade Yarbrough as he returns to the region
Michael Clarke was at the center of one blazing argument with his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough and her brother-in-law Karl Stefanovic in a public park in Noosa in December.
And on Tuesday, the former cricketer mocked the wild incident as he returned to the beach with his family.
The 42-year-old shared a photo on Instagram of himself relaxing poolside with family members at a resort.
‘Back in Noosa, a little healthier this time,” he captioned the image jokingly.
In January, extraordinary footage emerged of a heated argument between Clarke and Yarbrough while they were on holiday in Noosa.

In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for reportedly $10,000, Yarbrough accused Clarke of cheating on her on Dec. 17 with his ex, fashion designer Pip Edwards.
He was also accused of sending messages to the co-founder of activewear label PE Nation and admitting that she was the “love of his life.”
All hell broke loose after Clarke, host Karl and his wife Jasmine, Jade’s sister, were having dinner at a beach restaurant with accountant Anthony Bell.
The video opens with Yarbrough yelling at Clarke before punching him in the face and pushing him away after the cricketer insists he didn’t cheat on her.
‘I am wrong? I’m fucking wrong! You’re a goddamn liar. I can see everything. You called her,” she yells, apparently referring to messages between Clarke and Edwards.

Clarke then tries to reassure Yarbrough that he did not sleep with Edwards on December 17, saying he was with Bell that night.
“Honey, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Clarke insists. “Honey, honey, Belly was at the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life… That’s not true, it’s not true.’
He then swore on his daughter Kelsey Lee’s life that he was not cheating on her.
But Yarbrough refused to believe Clarke’s desperate protestations, claiming she had spoken to Pip.
“You’re fucking lying to me. You’re a piece of shit. I just spoke to her. What’s wrong with you?’ she heard say.
Clarke again denies sleeping with Edwards, replying, “No, I didn’t.” You can hit me. That’s not true, that’s not true.’
He appeared to have injured his hamstring during the fight as he stumbled through the public park.
Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine eventually steps in and grabs her ailing sister by the arm and drags her away.

Jasmine is heard saying, “Go away with Karl, go away with Karl.”
As she is led away, Yarbrough can be heard crying as she turns to Clarke and cries, “I fucking hate you.”
Clarke then tries to follow Yarbrough before unleashing a wave of rage on Stefanovic, seemingly for running away with the two sisters.
“Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t you f**king walk away…she can hit me, but you, you c**t,” Clarke says.
This comment angers Yarbrough, who defends her brother-in-law before punching Clarke repeatedly in the face.
“You piece of shit, don’t fucking talk to him,” she yells.
Karl and Bell can be heard telling the pair to stop, which falls on deaf ears.
“Go, hit me, hit me… do it again, you’re wrong, you’re damn wrong,” Clarke tells his girlfriend.
Yarbrough yells, “Oh am I wrong? You fucked her on December 17, you fucked her… you’re a great dog… I’m going to show her every damn message you’ve ever sent me.’

Jade then refers to a text she allegedly saw on Clarke’s phone inviting Edwards to come to India with him.
“Oh yes, ‘You’re the love of my life Pip, come to India,'” says Yarbrough, to which Clark replies, “Don’t ever talk to me again.”
The two minute clip ends with Jasmine and Bell breaking up the feuding couple.
“Stop, Jade, stop,” Jasmine pleads. Bell adds, “Let it go, Jade.”
The ugly altercation unfolded in front of young children nearby, according to baffled witnesses.
A remorseful Clarke later took full responsibility for what happened.
“I am absolutely devastated that I put people I hold in high esteem in this position. My actions leading up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
“I am devastated that by my actions I have put women of class and integrity, and my mates, in this situation.”
