Karl Stefanovic’s horror at father’s explosive tell-all book
Last year, Karl Stefanovic’s father Alex revealed his relationship with his famous sons is “beyond repair”.
And the rift between Karl and his estranged father looks set to deepen as Alex Stefanovic prepares to write an explosive tell-all book which will lift the lid on the family's "darkest secrets."
The Stefanovic brothers with their mother Jenny in 2011.
The 71-year-old – who says he fell out with his boys, Karl and Peter, 25 years ago – sensationally plans to devote one chapter to the Stefanovic family's "gambling curse" which Alex alleges afflicts sex generations of his family – and ruined his marriage to Karl's mother, Jenny.
Although Karl has no history with gambling, Alex says: "To some it may sound far-fetched but I assure you this curse is very real and could cost Karl everything if he is not careful.
"It's no secret my son likes a bet on the horses. He has done for years – and we are talking big money. If he doesn't stop now he could lose everything like I did."
Alex also promises to go into "great detail" about his strained relationship with his TV star sons Karl, 43 and Pete, 36, and their younger brother Tom, 32.
"That's where I will be saying my piece. I am sick of all the lies," Alex says.
