Sunrise host Natalie Barr has warned Michael Clarke’s late-night brawl might value him his model offers.
Addressing the Australian cricketer’s battle with girlfriend Jade Yarbrough and Karl Stefanovic on Friday morning, Barr identified that the violent scuffle might have violated Clarke’s sponsorship contracts.
“They have that clause in all our contracts, if you bring a brand into disrepute. And that’s a bit rubbery,” Barr mentioned.
However, her co-host Matt Shirvington mentioned the 41-year-old might keep away from penalties as his sponsorships look like short-term “influencer deals”.
Veteran leisure reporter Peter Ford additionally doubted he would “be immediately dropped” by any model over the wild footage.
The imaginative and prescient got here to mild on Wednesday after shocked onlookers filmed the dramatic household feud on January 10.
Police confirmed on Thursday that they had been investigating the incident.
“Queensland Police are investigating an incident between a 30-year-old woman and 41-year-old man depicted in footage at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier this month,” police mentioned.
“As this matter on January 10, 2023 is under investigation the Queensland Police Service is unable to provide any further comment.”
Clarke issued an announcement to The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday night time “accepting full responsibility” for the altercation.
“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 mentioned.
“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.”
