Fitness fashion queen Pip Edwards shrugged off the Michael Clarke ‘cheating’ scandal with a night out at the Elton John concert in Sydney.
Edwards, the face and name behind fashion empire P.E Nation, was on Wednesday embroiled in an ugly spat between her ex-boyfriend - legendary Aussie cricketer Michael Clarke - and his new partner Jade Yarbrough.
Footage obtained by The Daily Telegraph showed Clarke being slapped by Yarbrough in a public park as she accused the former batsman of cheating on her with Edwards in December.
Edwards and Clarke dated between 2020 and 2021.
As news of the footage at a Noosa park on January 10 spread, Edwards appeared to show little concern - partying with a friend at Allianz Stadium for the latest show in Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Edwards issued a statement before attending the Sydney concert, saying she was unaware of the “debacle” in Noosa.
“This is not my circus,” Edwards told The Telegraph.
“Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to.”
Pip was at a rain-soaked Allianz Stadium on Wednesday night as the extraordinary fight went public.
Clarke and Today Show host Karl Stefanovic were captured on video squaring off in the wild fracas in which the former cricketer was slapped across the face by his girlfriend and accused of cheating.
The extraordinary showdown between the high profile celebrities and their partners — sisters Jade and Jasmine Yarbrough — was filmed by a bystander and obtained by The Daily Telegraph.
The fight began when the two high-profile couples and their celebrity accountant mate Anthony Bell were at dinner at a riverside restaurant.
It’s understood Edwards and Jade had been in contact, sparking the confrontation between Clarke and Jade.
“You f**ked her on December 17 … You f**ked her, you’re a f**king dog,” Jade screams.
Clarke responds: “Baby you’re wrong, you’re wrong.”
Clarke told The Daily Telegraph: “I’m absolutely gutted I’ve 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.
“I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.”
“I own this fully and am the only one at fault,” Clarke said.
The cricket TV commentator-turned breakfast radio host was reportedly introduced to Yarbrough through Stefanovic.
Their relationship came eight months after Clarke’s brief romance with Edwards, who he dated after splitting from wife Kyly.
