Peter Stefanovic breaks silence on Karl vs. Michael fight
Peter Stefanovic has lifted the lid on how his brother Karl is doing in the wake of the recent media storm surrounding his fight with Michael Clarke.
The younger Stefanovic spoke on Nova FM’s Fitzy and Wippa show on Tuesday morning, sharing how Karl is holding up.
“I think he’s going okay, yeah. Yeah, he’s hanging in there,” the Sky News host replied.
However, when pressed by Fitzy on whether Karl’s long-standing friendship with the former cricket star was “over”, Peter was vague.
“You never know how these things work out. You know, there’s ebbs and flows,” he told the hosts, before adding that Karl was in “(paparazzi) city” at the moment.
“And it’s never a flattering photo they take, is it? It’s always mid-stride,” Peter joked.
Karl is yet to comment on the public scuffle himself, while Michael Clarke issued a grovelling apology after the footage of the stoush quickly went viral.
Earlier this week, he said in a statement to The Daily Telegraph, “I accept full responsibility for this altercation and am shattered by my actions.”
“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.
“I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.”
The pair were filmed by a bystander in Noosa which showed a shirtless Clarke being slapped across the face and screamed at by his girlfriend, Karl’s sister-in-law, Jade Yarbrough, over cheating claims.
