Michael Clarke was in the middle of one fiery argument with his ex-girlfriend Jade Yarbrough and her brother-in-law Karl Stefanovic in a public park in Noosa in December.
And on Tuesday, the former cricketer poked fun at the wild incident as he returned to the beach with his family.
The 42-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of him relaxing by the pool with family members, including his daughter Kelsey Lee, seven, and mum Debbie at a resort.
‘Back in Noosa, a bit healthier this time,” he jokingly captioned the picture.
In January, extraordinary footage emerged of a heated argument between Clarke and Yarbrough while on holiday in Noosa.

In the video, which was filmed by an onlooker and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for an alleged $10,000, Yarbrough accused Clarke of cheating on her with his ex, fashion designer Pip Edwards, on December 17.
He was also accused of texting the co-founder of activewear label PE Nation, admitting she was the “love of his life”.
Everything broke loose after Clarke, host Karl, and his wife Jasmine, Jade’s sister, had dinner with accountant Anthony Bell at a beach restaurant.
The video begins with Yarbrough shouting at Clarke before punching him in the face and pushing him away after the cricketer insists he didn’t cheat on her.
‘Was I wrong? I’m damn wrong! You are a fucking liar. I can see everything. You called her,” she shouted, apparently referring to messages between Clarke and Edwards.

Clarke then tries to assure Yarbrough that he did not sleep with Edwards on December 17, and says that he was with Bell that night.
“Honey, you’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Clarke insists. “Honey, honey, Belly was in the house. I swear on my life, I swear on my life… It’s not true, it’s not true.’
He then swore on the life of his daughter Kelsey Lee that he wasn’t cheating on her.
But Yarbrough refused to believe Clarke’s desperate protests and claimed that she had spoken to Pip.
“You fucking lie to me. You are a piece of shit. I was just talking to her. What is wrong with you?’ heard her say.
Clarke again denies having slept with Edwards, replying: “No, I haven’t.” you can hit me It’s not true, it’s not true.’
He appeared to have injured his hamstring during the fight while stumbling through the public park.
Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine finally intervened, grabbing her sick sister’s arm and pulling her away.

You can hear Jasmin saying, “Go away with Karl, go away with Karl.”
As she is led away, Yarbrough is heard crying as she turns to Clarke and shouts: “I fucking hate you.”
Clarke then tries to follow Yarbrough before unleashing a fit of rage on Stefanovic, seemingly for running away with the two sisters.
“Karlos, I can tell you right now, chubby, don’t f*k walk away…she can hit me, but you, chubby,” says Clarke.
This comment angers Yarbrough, who defends her brother-in-law before punching Clarke repeatedly in the face.
“You shit, don’t fucking talk to him,” she screamed.
Karl and Bell tell the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.
“Go hit me, hit me… do it again, you’re wrong, you’re bloody wrong,” Clarke tells his girlfriend.
Yarbrough yelled, “Oh, am I wrong? You screwed her on December 17th, you screwed her…you’re a big dog…I’ll show her every fucking message you ever sent me.”
The video begins with Yarbrough shouting at Clarke before punching him in the face and pushing him away after the cricketer insisted he had not cheated on her with Pip Edwards (pictured).
Jade then refers to a text she claims she saw on Clarke’s phone and invites Edwards to come with him to India.
“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 breaking up the twin pair.
“Stop, Jade, stop,” pleaded Jasmine. Bell adds, “Let it go, Jade.”
According to stunned witnesses, the ugly exchange took place in front of young children nearby.
A contrite Clarke later took full responsibility for what happened.
“I am absolutely devastated that I put people I really care about in this position. My actions leading up to this altercation were just disgraceful and deplorable,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“I am devastated that by my actions I put women of class and integrity and my peers in this situation.”
