The 2GB radio host, who is friends with Kieren Jack and his girlfriend, Charlotte Goodlet, claims Jack’s parents were to blame for the family drama that unfolded this week.

‘It seems that Donna and Gary Jack want their boys to run their lives exactly the way their parents want to run them instead of letting them stand on their own two feet,’ Fordham said.

The dispute turned public this week when Kieren’s mother Donna vented her frustrations of social media. 


‘@kjack_15 so sad. Dad 200 RL you 200 AFL & you don’t want us there, your parents. No appreciation for all the yrs helping you get there,’ she wrote.

Kieren responded to claims his parents were banned from his 200th match in a press conference on Wednesday.

‘What I will say is my priorities of support are firmly with my partner and my little brother, who I love and care for very much,’ he said.
