Claims have emerged that industry insiders are urging Clarke to find a new manager following the ACA’s disastrous crackdown last month.

Clarke was instead peppered with questions about the infamous Noosa fight involving his on-off-off girlfriend Jade Yarbrough, which brought in her brother-in-law, Today presenter Karl Stefanovic.
Sources now reveal that Clarke went against the advice of professionals who warned him not to do the news program interview.

“He should never have done ACA to promote a drink… he was completely sewn up.”
“Maybe he thought (Channel 9 personality) Karl (Stefanovic) would protect him, but that clearly wasn’t the case,” she added.

‘I call it lessons. I mention so many things that you know, that you wish… I think relationships are hard, a lot happens behind closed doors and a lot of things happen that we all have to deal with,” Clarke said.
“I’ve been dealing with divorce, you know, man, I’ve been through it and it’s so sad, so hard.
“I think the one thing is you just have to do your best, good times, hard times, highs and lows, pros and cons; I’m just like everyone else – to this day I stand here doing my best and I hope that doesn’t change.’
One of the lessons he claims to have learned is that he should enjoy life ‘moderately’, in an effort to prevent such a brawl from happening in the future.
