A new video shows Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough having what appears to be a tense argument at Anthony Bell’s $10 million Noosa mansion just two days before their fight in a nearby park.
In the footage, Clarke, 41, looks frustrated as he leans over and talks to Yarbrough, 30, as she lies on an outdoor lounge.
He raises his hands in the air as the couple engage in a heated argument.
After the pair have chatted for several minutes, things seem to calm down and the cricketer gently strokes Jade’s face.
The couple were invited to the famous accountant Bell’s mansion in Noosaville, which has a private sandy beach, 150-foot frontage and solar-heated infinity pool.
They were staying there while on vacation with Bell, Karl Stefanovic and his wife, and Jade’s sister Jasmine Yarbrough.
The new video suggests that things were very tense between Clarke and Yarbrough in the lead up to their late-night fight in a park on January 10, which occurred after a dinner with the Waterfront Restaurant & Bar group.
During that confrontation, Yarbrough slapped her boyfriend and accused him of cheating on her with his ex Pip Edwards on December 17.
A new video shows Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough having what appears to be a tense argument at Anthony Bell’s $10 million Noosa mansion just two days before their fight in a nearby park.
He is staying at his sister Jasmine’s house, where he has spent the last two days on the phone with a ‘desperate’ Clarke, who begs him to take him back.
Police have now confirmed they are investigating the shocking confrontation between Clarke and Yarbrough, where the shirtless former Australian cricket captain was slapped during a fiery brawl.
“Queensland Police are investigating an incident between a 30-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man pictured at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier this month,” police said.
At one point, interior designer Yarbrough seemed annoyed as she questioned the former Australian cricket captain as he sat in a pool lounge.
“As this matter of 10 January 2023 is under investigation, the Queensland Police Service is unable to provide further comment.”
The dramatic images obtained by the daily telegraph shows a shirtless Clarke being yelled at and slapped by his hysterical girlfriend while others in the group try to defuse the fight.
‘I’m wrong? I’m fucking wrong! You are a fucking liar. Ican see everything. You called her,’ Jade yells.
Clarke tries to reassure Yarbrough that she didn’t cheat on her and swears on the life of her young daughter Kelsey Lee that she was with Bell the night in question last month.
“Baby you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” he insists.
‘Baby, baby, Belly was in the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life… That’s not true, that’s not true.
The new video suggests that things were very tense between Clarke and Yarbrough in the lead up to their late-night fight in a park on January 10, which occurred after a dinner with the Waterfront Restaurant & Bar group.
Both wore simple black outfits made up of T-shirts and shorts. They may have been crying, but their eyes were hidden behind sunglasses.
But Yarbrough does not believe his protests and claims that he spoke to Edwards.
‘You’re lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just talked to her. What’s wrong?’ she screams.
Clarke replies: ‘It’s not true, it’s not true.’
Stefanovic’s wife, Jasmine, finally intervenes, grabbing her distraught sister by the arm and leading her away.
“Stay away from Karl, go to Karl,” Jasmine tells Clarke as she unleashes her fury on Stefanovic.
‘Karlos, I can tell you now shit, don’t walk away. She can, she can hit me, but you idiot,” says Clarke.
The fierce argument between Clarke and Yarbrough in a public park in Noosa was filmed by shocked onlookers. (They are shown in Sydney in November)
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.’
Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine were forced to intervene in the ugly altercation
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.
The altercation took place just a day after Clarke and Jade silenced recent breakup rumors when they packed up the PDA on Noosa’s main beach for the holidays.
A week earlier, Clarke had attended a New Years party alone at Bondi Icebergs in Sydney while Jade was halfway around the world in Aspen, Colorado, with Jasmine and Karl.
The couple’s separate plans for Christmas and New Years sparked speculation that the couple had broken up after a short-lived romance.
Michael Clarke dated Pip Edwards (pictured in happier times) on and off for 18 months before calling things off for good a year ago.
Clarke’s relationship with former partner Edwards began in June 2020, following his split from his wife Kyly, which they had announced four months earlier.
He and Pip had been friends for over a decade before that, but became friends while working on a fashion project together.
The couple separated in December 2021.
A source close to the couple confirmed the split, saying: “The decision was mutual. They are two best friends who decided to part ways as a couple earlier this month but are continuing their friendship.
After their breakup, Pip had an affair with Bondi restaurateur Cameron Northway for about four months, but that fell through and she got back together with Michael.
Michael and Pip recently attended a New Year’s Day party at the iconic Sydney Icebergs.
The batter was married to former model Kyly Clarke (née Boldy), 40, from 2012 to 2019, but the couple did not announce their split until February 2020.
The Clarkes kept their split under wraps for several months before she posted a statement on Instagram saying her priority was her daughter.
In a statement at the time, the couple said the “amicable” decision to separate was “the best path forward” for their daughter.
