Peter Stefanovic has spoken about the now infamous Noosa fight that involved his older brother, Karl, Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough.

During an appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Kyle Sandilands asked Peter about the incident.

“What happened with Clarkey and your brother?”

Peter was extremely diplomatic and simply responded, “Well, I’m just happy that I wasn’t involved in that.”

This isn’t the first time Peter talked about the altercation though; while speaking on Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa, the Sky News host said that since the fight, Karl was being regularly followed by the paparazzi but was doing “okay”.

“I think he’s going okay, yeah. Yeah he’s hanging in there. He’s alright though. He’s just in pap city at the moment. And it’s never a flattering photo they take, is it?,” Peter said.

Karl is yet to publicly comment on the whole controversy, although he seemingly made a subtle dig at Michael during a segment on the Today show.

“You can just pull a hammy by sitting down. Hot cream, please,” Karl said on air a few days after the footage of the Noosa fight went viral.

This could be seen as a dig at Michael – as in the video he was clutching his hamstring after Jade pushed him to the ground.

If you’ve somehow not seen the video of the infamous fight, Jade – Karl’s sister in law – accused Michael of cheating on her with his ex, Pip Edwards. This led to a screaming match between the two and at one point Karl and his wife, Jasmine Yarbrough tried to diffuse the situation; to no avail.

In fact, at one point during the incident, Michael can be heard saying, “Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t you f***ing walk away. She can, she can punch me, but you, you c**t…”

Unlike Karl, Michael has made a public statement about the whole affair. He apologised, saying, “My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable.”
