Michael Clarke Video: Calls for December 17 to be a National Holiday

The extraordinary video of Michael Clarke’s girlfriend, Jade Yarbrough, accusing him of ‘f**king’ Pip Edwards ‘on December 17th’ has led to tongue-in-cheek calls to make the date a national holiday.

Yarbrough made the accusation of cheating during the couple’s wild argument in Noosa on January 10, with the incident caught on camera by a shocked bystander.

In honor of Michael Clarke, December 17th will henceforth be known as “You Fucked Her on December 17th Day”. The wearing of shirts is prohibited on that day,” wrote one Twitter user, referencing the fact that Clarke was inexplicably shirtless in the video.

“Michael Clarke may have given us a new Australia Day date that everyone can pass: December 17 #YouF**kedHerOnDecember17,” another tweeted.

A third person asked, ‘Wait, so we have a holiday on December 17 now? #LaF**esteEl17DeDiciembre.’

“December 17 is now the most Australian day of the year,” commented a fourth.

Dramatic Images obtained by The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday show Clarke being yelled at and slapped by his irate girlfriend as she accuses him of cheating on her.

During the furious exchange, the interior designer claims that Clarke slept with his ex-girlfriend on December 17 and sent her a message to tell her that she is the “love of his life.”

The video, filmed on January 10 in Noosa, begins with Yarbrough yelling at the former cricketer, then slaps and pushes him after he insists he never cheated on her.

‘I’m wrong? I’m fucking wrong! You are a fucking liar. Ican see everything. You called her,’ Yarbrough yells, apparently referring to the messages between Clarke and Edwards.

Clarke then tries to assure Yarbrough that she did not sleep with Edwards on December 17, saying that she was with his accountant friend Anthony Bell that night.

“Baby, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Clarke insists. ‘Baby, baby, Belly was in the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life… That’s not true, it’s not true.’

He then swears on the life of his daughter Kelsey Lee that he did not cheat on her, but Yarbrough does not believe his desperate protests and claims that she talked to Edwards.

‘You’re lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just talked to her. What’s wrong?’ she howls

Clarke again denied sleeping with Edwards, replying, ‘No, I didn’t. you can hit me That’s not true, that’s not true’.

Clarke appeared to have injured his hamstring in the melee after he was pushed to the ground by Yarbrough, as he was seen limping through the public park.

Yarbrough’s sister Jasmine, joined by her husband Karl Stefanovic, steps in and grabs her distraught younger 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 yells, ‘I hate you!’

Clarke then tries to follow her girlfriend before unleashing a wave of rage at Stefanovic, presumably because he is leaving with the two sisters.

‘Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t go. She can, she can hit me, but you idiot,” says Clarke.

This comment arouses the fury of Jade, who defends her brother-in-law before slapping Clarke across the face.

“You piece of s**t, don’t talk to him,” he yells.

Bell is heard telling the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.

“Go hit me, hit me… do it again, you’re wrong, you’re fucking wrong,” Clarke tells his girlfriend.

Jade yells, ‘Oh, am I wrong? you fucked up [Edwards] on December 17th, you fucked her… you’re a fucking dog… I’m going to show her every fucking message you’ve ever sent me.’

He then references a text message he saw on Clarke’s phone inviting Edwards to go to India with him.

“Oh yes, you’re the love of my life, Pip, come to India,” Jade groans.

Clarke replies, ‘Don’t ever talk to me again.’

The two-minute clip ends with Jasmine and Bell separating the feuding couple.

“Stop, Jade, stop,” Jasmine pleads, to which Bell adds, “Stop it, Jade.”

The ugly altercation unfolded in front of nearby young children, according to witnesses.

A repentant Clarke has 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 said Wednesday night.

“I am devastated that by my actions I have brought women of class and integrity, and my peers, into this situation.”

His former partner Edwards distanced himself from the ‘debacle’ when he delivered a brutal blow to Clarke.

‘This is not my circus. Once again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to,” Edwards said in a statement.
