The woman who sat down with Jules Neale in a tell-all interview<\/a>, Adelle Petropoulos, revealed a new detail that \u201cspeaks volumes\u201d about the alleged cheating scandal that rocked the AFL community in December 2025. <\/p>\n

Jules, 33, sat down with Petropoulos on the Pretty Sure podcast to \u201cspeak her truth\u201d about the alleged cheating scandal that allegedly involved her husband, Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale<\/a>, 33, and her best friend, Tess Crosley<\/a>, 30. <\/p>\n

Pretty Sure podcast host Adelle Petropoulos dropped a bombshell claim following her tell-all with Jules Neale. \u00a0Instagram\/@prettysure.pod<\/p>\n

\u201cJules wanted a platform to say her version of the truth and the truth. I was honoured that she felt comfortable sitting down with me,\u201d Petropoulos told Today Show hosts Tom Steinfort and Samantha Armytage. <\/p>\n

In the podcast, Jules alleged Crosley and Lachie had an ongoing romantic affair for four months. <\/p>\n

Crosley is due to give her side of the story on the Daily Mail Australia\u2019s The Debrief\u00a0podcast<\/a> on Thursday afternoon. In a preview clip from her interview Crosley said she felt \u201cbetrayed\u201d that the alleged affair was ever made public at all.<\/p>\n

When Steinfort asked Petropoulos what she thought of Crosley\u2019s comments, she revealed a bombshell claim. <\/p>\n

\u201cInteresting\u2026what the broader public doesn\u2019t know is that Tess caught wind of us doing the podcast, and we did this interview a couple of weeks ago,\u201d she claimed. <\/p>\n

\u201cOff the back of that, she\u2019s decided to sit down with the Daily Mail to do a rebuttal podcast,\u201d she told Today. \u201cI think it speaks volumes of who she really is.\u201d <\/p>\n

She went on to confirm that the podcast\u2019s release did not purposely coincide with recent footage of Lachie Neale kissing his new girlfriend<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Jules<\/p>\n

\u201cOur interview has been in the works for weeks upon weeks, and it was all coincidental that it came out\u2026 I think it almost gave Jules a little more fuel to speak her version of the truth and not tiptoe around the larger scandal at hand.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI was very proud of her for speaking it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the bombshell interview, Jules sensationally alleged her ex\u00a0Lachie had been unfaithful in their\u00a0marriage\u00a0at least once before their December 2025\u00a0split<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the first time for us, which is awful,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\"Tess<\/p>\n

Tess Crosley, now going by Tess Caesar, said she felt betrayed the matter was made public at all. \u00a0Instagram\/@Tess.caesar<\/p>\n

She explained that while it would appear to many that she \u201cpacked up and left with the kids\u201d when Lachie confirmed their separation in January 2026, that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

Jules claimed that she found out Lachie had been unfaithful once before after receiving \u201cone of those awful \u2018Hey girly\u2019 DMs with receipts\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst, the worst day of my life. I didn\u2019t leave bed for four days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already had my daughter together, so I decided to stay and try to work on it. I just felt like after that I was like, \u2019People can make mistakes and if it was a one-off mistake… I don\u2019t want to break up our family because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I want people to know that if you haven\u2019t been strong enough to leave the first time, that\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jules and Lachie\u2019s relationship broke down after she publicly claimed she had been \u201cbetrayed\u201d in light of rumours about the couple\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n

Lachie\u00a0addressed their split in a January 2026 media address<\/a>, announcing: \u201cI have let my family down, and I apologise for my actions, which have hurt those closest to me. For that, I am deeply sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lachie added he had to \u201caccept\u201d the consequences of his actions, but was focused on rebuilding trust with Neale because of the well-being of their children.<\/p>\n

During her\u00a0Pretty Sure\u00a0interview, Jules addressed their split, saying: \u201cWhen I found out that this had happened, this recent thing had happened. It was immediately like, \u2018We\u2019re done, I\u2019m done\u2019. It was just immediately apparent that this was going to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a one-off mistake and if he could do something like this after that, it\u2019ll keep happening for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jules said that when she left the marriage she was under the impression the betrayal was an alleged kiss, but claims she later found out it was an \u201congoing four-month affair with my best friend\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The woman who sat down with Jules Neale in a tell-all interview, Adelle Petropoulos, revealed a new detail…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-869874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
