You\u2019re embarrassing yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, speaking on the unreleased <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/tvshowbiz\/article-16077483\/tess-crosley-lachie-neale-jules-affair-podcast-interview-scandal.html\" title=\"www.dailymail.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Mail Australia\u2019s The Debrief podcast<\/a>,, Crosley said: \u201cI thought we sort of made the unanimous decision not to make any comments publicly at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cOnly a couple of months ago, I also learned that somebody from the parties was sending private information to the journalists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that was really hard. I\u2019d been staying silent out of respect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much more to this story that people don\u2019t know, but I\u2019m not going to bring others down just to make myself look better either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before she added: \u201c\u2018It almost did feel like a betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crosley\u2019s remarks come after Jules\u2019 tell-all interview with Adelle Petropoulos \u2014 who called off her own wedding last year after discovering her fiancee\u2019s infidelity.<\/p>\n<p>Jules revealed she only discovered the true extent of Lachie\u2019s cheating after she had returned to Perth.<\/p>\n<p>Originally believing it was a one-off kiss, she later found out it was a fling that she believes went on for four months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the worst feeling in the world,\u2019\u2019 Jules told Petropoulos on the Pretty Sure podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just question everything. You\u2019re like, who knows about this? Am I the only person that doesn\u2019t know? Does everybody else know, and did the other players know? Did the other partners know?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou kind of question your trust with everything and everyone at that point. It\u2019s not a good feeling. But after talking to the other partners at the club, they all seemed very shocked, so I don\u2019t think it was a known thing among them all, which is good because that would have been more salt in the wound to know everyone knew before you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining how she was first made aware of the affair, she continued: \u201cThe poor thing, (she\u2019s) a close friend of mine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt came from another partner at the club to her, she called one of my close friends at the club. This is the information I know and what I\u2019ve seen. I don\u2019t want to have to call Jules and tell her, \u2018Can you do it? It would be better coming from you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my poor friend had to call me and tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But according to Jules it wasn\u2019t the first time Neale had cheated on her.<\/p>\n<p>The influencer revealed she was in bed for four days after a \u2018Hey girly\u2019 DM. But she claims Neale had promised her it was a one off and would never happen again and she ultimately decided to work through it for their daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found out he had cheated on me before,\u2019\u2019 she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got one of those awful \u2018hey girly\u2019 DMs with receipts. The worst day of my life; I didn\u2019t leave bed for four days. Before that I would have bet my life that he would have never done that to me ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I was reassured that was a one-off thing, it would never happen again, biggest mistake of his life, yada yada yada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already had my daughter together, so I decided to stay and try to work on it. I just felt like after that people can make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"poster-img\" src=\"https:\/\/content.api.news\/v3\/images\/bin\/582389f473e0bf3e9841468924bf42fe\" data-sctrack=\"op-poster-img\" alt=\"Jules Neale tells all in podcast interview\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if it was a one-off mistake, I don\u2019t want to break up our family because of it. I\u2019ve got too much at stake here for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I did stay. It was really hard. If something like this happens to you in your relationship, if you get cheated on, betrayed in any way, leaving is so hard and scary, but staying is hard as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jules and Crosley\u2019s interviews come days after Neale confirmed his new romance with Emma Field with a kiss in the Brisbane Lions\u2019 dressing room after the team\u2019s win over Collingwood at the MCG on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The pair have been spotted multiple times in public together since they were first romantically linked when they were seen walking together at Brisbane Airport earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Field, an advertising professional, has travelled to watch Neale play in recent matches and took things a step further on Friday night when she was spotted inside the football club\u2019s inner sanctum following their win over Collingwood.<\/p>\n<p>More to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Originally published as <a class=\"body-link\"
