Twist in Jade Yarbrough's Noosa scandal as she hides out with Pip's socialite mates

Jade Yarbrough is believed to be hiding out at the home of one of Pip Edwards' friends, weeks after shocking footage emerged of her slapping her then-boyfriend Michael Clarke and accuse him of cheating with the P.E Nation designer. 

The couple got into a bust-up on January 10 in a park in Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast when the interior designer, 30, accused the cricketer, 41, of sleeping with ex-girlfriend Edwards.

On Wednesday, Yarbrough was pictured on the balcony of a three-storey home in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, where glamorous luxury car enthusiast and glamorous socialite Jody Koay is said to be living.

She wore black activewear and draped a jumper across her shoulders as she looked over the balcony of the home.

Not only is Koay friends with Yarbourgh, her sister Jasmine and the former Australian cricket captain, she is also mates with Clarke's former lover Edwards and the pair recently attended the same New Year's Day party at Bondi Icebergs.

Koay is also friends with several other high-profile socialites, including eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher and nightclub king Julian Tobias.

She is the Creative Lead for Mercedes-Benz Australia & New Zealand at Team X - Omnicom and is often seen cruising around Tamarama in her luxury cars. 

Koay and Yarbourgh appear to have been friends for many years, and have been tagged in photos together on Instagram since 2020.

The sighting comes weeks after extraordinary footage emerged in January of a heated exchange between Yarbrough and Clarke while they were on holiday in Noosa.

In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker on January 10 and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for a reported $10,000, Yarbrough accused Clarke of cheating on her with his ex, fashion designer Edwards, on December 17.

He was also accused of messaging the co-founder of activewear label P.E Nation and confessing she was the 'love of his life'.

All hell broke loose after Clarke, Today show host Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine, the sister of Jade, were having dinner at a beachside restaurant in Noosa with accountant Anthony Bell.

The video begins with Yarbrough screaming at Clarke before she slaps him in the face and pushes him away after the cricketer insists he didn't cheated on her.

'I'm wrong? I'm f**king wrong! You're a f***ing liar. I can see everything. You called her,' she screams, apparently referring to messages between Clarke and Edwards.

Clarke then tries to reassure Yarbrough he didn't sleep with Edwards on December 17, saying he was with Bell that night.

'Baby you're wrong, you're wrong,' Clarke insists. 'Baby, baby, Belly was at the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life... That's not true, it's not true.'

He then swore on his daughter Kelsey Lee's life he did not cheat on her.

But Yarbrough refused to believe Clarke's desperate protests and claimed she spoke to Pip.

'You're f**king lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just spoke to her. What is wrong with you?' she's heard saying.

Clarke again denies sleeping with Edwards and replies: 'No I didn't. You can hit me. That's not true, that's not true.'

He appeared to have injured his hamstring in the melee as he was seen hobbling across the public park.

Stefanovic's wife Jasmine eventually steps in and grabs her distressed sister by the arm and drags her away.

Jasmine can be heard saying: 'Get away with Karl, get away with Karl.'

As she is led away, Yarbrough can be heard crying as she turns to Clarke and howls: 'I f**king hate you.'

Clarke then tries to follow Yarbrough before he unleashes a wave of fury at Stefanovic, seemingly because he is walking away with the two sisters.

'Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don't you f**king walk away... she can punch me, but you, you c**t,' Clarke says.

This comment sparks fury from Yarbrough, who defends her brother-in-law before slapping Clarke repeatedly in the face.

'You piece of s**t, don't you f**king speak to him,' she yells.

Karl and Bell can be heard telling the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.

'Go, hit me hit me … do it again, you're wrong, you're f**king wrong,' Clarke tells his girlfriend.

Yarbrough screams: 'Oh am I wrong? You f**ked her on December 17, you f**ked her… you're a f**king dog… I'm going to show her every f**king message you ever f**king sent me.'

Jade then makes reference to a text she allegedly saw on Clarke's phone inviting Edwards to come to India with him.

'Oh yeah, "You're the love of my life Pip, come to India,"' Yarbrough says, to which Clark 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. Bell adds: 'Let it go, Jade.'

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

A remorseful Clarke has since taken full responsibility for what happened.

'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 told The Daily Telegraph.

'I am shattered that because of my actions I've drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.'

Daily Mail Australia has contacted all other parties involved for comment.

Meanwhile, Edwards, 42, was having none of the drama when she returned to her eastern suburbs home after attending Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road concert at Allianz Stadium in Moore Park.

'This is not my circus. Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to,' she said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia.

Clarke's relationship with his ex-partner Edwards began in June 2020, following his split from wife Kyly Clarke (née Boldy), which they announced four months earlier.

He and Edwards had been friends for more than a decade before that, but grew close while working on a fashion project together.

The couple called it quits in December 2021.

A source close to the pair confirmed the split, saying: 'The decision was mutual. They're two best friends who decided to part ways as a couple earlier this month, but continue their friendship.'

After their break-up, Edwards had a fling with Bondi restaurateur Cameron Northway for about four months, but that fizzled out and she got back with Clarke.

Clarke and Edwards recently attended an exclusive A-list New Year's Day bash at Sydney's iconic Icebergs, which Yarbrough did not.
