Karl was asked about the shocking footage on Thursday while at the Australian Open with his new co-host Sarah Abo, with the Today Show host replying, "You know what the answer is going to be," the Herald Sun reports.

The Daily Telegraph released footage of the wild fight on Wednesday night, showing Michael being yelled at and slapped by a furious Jade.

Karl, his wife Jasmine Yarbrough, who is Jade's sister, and celebrity accountant Anthony Bell were also there, with Jade accusing Michael of sleeping with Pip, and calling the designer the "love of his life".

Jade is seen yelling at Michael and slapping him as he insists he didn't cheat on her.

"I'm wrong? I'm f**king wrong! You're a f***ing liar. I can see everything. You called her," Jade yells, while also seemingly referring to messages between the cricketer and fashion designer.

"Baby you're wrong, you're wrong," Michael insists, adding he was with Anthony that night. "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 also swears on his daughter Kelsey Lee's life that he didn't cheat on her, however, Jade refuses to believe him, saying she spoke with Pip.

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

"No I didn't. You can hit me. That's not true, that's not true," he continues.

Karl's wife Jasmine eventually grabs her sister and drags her away, telling her, "Get away with Karl, get away with Karl."

"Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don't you f**king walk away. She can, she can punch me, but you, you c**t," Michael yells at Karl, with Jade defending her brother-in-law, saying, "You piece of s**t, don't you f**king speak to him."

Jade is then heard yelling at Michael, "I f**king hate you," as Karl and Anthony try to calm them down.

"Go, hit me hit me … do it again, you're wrong, you're f**king wrong," the cricketer tells her.

Jade continues, telling him she allegedly saw a text message from Michael to Pip where the cricketer invited her to India with him.

"Don't ever talk to me again," Michael hits back.

Queensland Police are investigating the incident, and Michael has since taken full responsibility for the brawl.

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

Pip, meanwhile, spoke to the Daily Mail, saying, "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."

Michael and Pip broke up in December 2021, the cricketer then made his relationship with Jade Instagram official in August 2022.

Michael was previously married to wife Kyly from 2012 to 2019, with the pair announcing their split in February 2020, saying it was "amicable" and "the best course" for their daughter.
