Tess Crosley, the former friend of AFL star Lachie Neale and wife Jules, has continued to shrug off the drama over the festive season.

The former Mormon missionary recently found herself at the centre of a very public rift between AFL star Lachie Neale and his wife Jules in the wake of the high-profile couple’s marriage breakdown.

After spending a very relaxed Christmas Day in the company of family and friends, Tess kept the tranquil vibes going on Boxing Day.

She took to her Instagram Story on Friday to share a photo that showed her looking very serene as she posed poolside.

Reclining on a wooden chair, Tess put on a busty display in a skimpy brown bikini.

Remaining sun-smart, she also wore a straw cowboy hat that kept her raven locks from blowing in the breeze.

Tess opted to turn up the heat on her Instagram grid, sharing another bikini shot in a carousel of festive family images.

Tess flaunted her lithe legs in a pair of very revealing G-string bikini bottoms as she posed for a steamy bathroom mirror selfie.

Clearly chuffed with her summery fit, she captioned the image with a simple: ‘This,’ and a heart hands emoji.

Tess turned off the comments on the post, possibly sensing blowback from her followers amid the drama.

On Monday, influencer Jules, 35, launched a remarkable public attack on Tess, demanding she remove Instagram photos of the Brisbane Lions’ recent grand final celebrations.

The post in question featured multiple images from grand final day and the celebrations following Brisbane’s back–to–back premiership win, with several photos showing Jules and Lachie on the field and inside the sheds celebrating with friends.

The now-deleted comment, which was captured in screenshots, shows Jules writing: ‘Take these down, you idiot, you’re embarrassing yourself.’

Jules recently revealed the breakdown of her marriage – denying news reports she was ‘working through’ issues with Lachie and instead alleged that she had been ‘betrayed in the most unimaginable way’.

She did not specify what that entailed.

‘I want to make it very clear that I am not ‘working through’ anything,’ she wrote.

‘I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way.

‘All I can do now is to heal and do what’s best for my children,’ she continued.

Within hours of posting the statement, Jules deleted every photo of Lachie from her Instagram account, erasing more than a decade of memories, while a moving truck was spotted parked in the driveway of the couple’s Brisbane home.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Tess.

Neither party has made any public comment on the situation.
