Jules Neale has delivered her most direct public swipe yet at former partner Lachie Neale in a video that has quickly gone viral. The 36-year-old has been sharing glimpses of her life in Perth with the couple’s two children, daughter Piper and one-year-old son Freddie, since separating from the Brisbane Lions star. Lachie has since moved into a Brisbane apartment, and their former family home was sold at auction last month.
The latest clip shows Jules and a trio of friends seated at a streetside café, reacting with exaggerated outrage to a series of statements, set to Jason Derulo’s “Whatcha Say”. When Jules is confronted with, “You’re really good at picking a husband,” she throws her hands in the air, slams them down on the table and pretends to storm off as the lyric plays: “When the truth roof caved in and the truth came out I just didn’t know what to do.”
Lizzie Brayshaw, wife of Fremantle star Andrew Brayshaw, reacts to, “Being a WAG is not a career move,” with a similar table-slap and storm-off. Jacquie Alexander, the video’s creator, plays up her outrage at, “Why didn’t you marry someone your own age,” while Rahnee Bransby responds to, “Was being into girls just a phase.”
The clip has notched more than 280,000 views, with commenters cheering Jules on. “I’m obsessed with Jules,” one user wrote. “She’s an icon for real,” added another. “Actually dead at Jules. but it didn’t stop there,” commented a third, while Bransby chimed in: “Iconic seriously.”
Last month, Jules celebrated her 36th birthday and reflected on a reset in her life on Instagram. “I used to be religious about my routine. And then I got a little distracted along the way,” she wrote. “I stopped showing up for myself the way I used to. But lately, I have been fighting my way back. There’s just something really powerful about rebuilding your glow quietly.” She added, “My mornings feel brighter, my days feel lighter, and it feels like I’m choosing myself again.”

Meanwhile, Lachie Neale has shared images with Piper and Freddie, pre-season training sessions and time with teammates, as speculation continues about his longer-term plans and whether he could seek a trade to West Coast or Fremantle. Asked about his commitment at a press conference on January 3, Neale said, “Yeah, I’m going to be here for this season coming up and I’m fully committed to putting everything I can into footy and I can’t wait to get into training and I’m looking forward to it.” Pressed again about what comes next, he added, “I haven’t really considered that yet. I think my decision was always going to be put on hold with my contract regardless so we will work that out in the next six months.”
Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan has confirmed the club would not block a move to Perth. The Lions have also announced Josh Dunkley and Hugh McCluggage as co-captains alongside veteran defender Harris Andrews, as the team prepares for its 2026 season opener against the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba on Saturday, March 7.
