Tess Crosley has commented on an Instagram post that appears to mock her infamous affair with Brisbane Lions player Lachie Neale.
Crosley, 30, became a known name in 2025 when rumours began circulating that she and Lachie were having an affair, despite her being (former) best friends with his wife of seven years, Jules Neale.

In an image shared to Instagram by account Mad Monday 365 this week, Crosley gently reminded followers it might be a little too soon to turn the whole debacle into a Halloween costume.
An image posted showed three friends dressed up for a party; one as Tess, another as Jules, and a third as Lachie, with his arms wrapped around the others.
“Tess, Lachie and Jules on Mad Monday,” the account captioned the photo.
Surprisingly, Tess appeared to see the funny side of the image and commented: “Jump scare warning next time pls 😂.”
Tess’ public comment comes weeks after both she and Jules spoke out about the alleged affair in two separate podcast appearances.
In a tell-all interview on the Pretty Sure podcast, Jules alleged Neale was unfaithful earlier in their relationship, adding that he promised it wouldn’t reoccur before engaging in a “four-month affair” with Crosley.
The day after the Pretty Sure podcast was released, Tess did her own tell-all interview on The Debrief podcast, explaining that before her affair with Lachie, her life had reached a “dark” place.
“I think it was just sort of like a friendship that just got way too close. And I think I experienced love bombing, which definitely changes your brain chemicals. And I think back and just think that was not me during that time,” she said.
Tess married Ben Crosley in 2017, but the pair also separated when news of the affair broke.
She detailed her experience coping with the fallout of the affair that she experienced “really bad depression” due to the public scrutiny.

“I know I’ve made some bad decisions that I deeply regret but I believe that I’m not a bad person,” she said.
“I wish I could go back in time and change some of my actions.
“Ben, he has been incredible. And I think that’s probably something that people wouldn’t expect, that my husband who was hurt, that he be so supportive of me and be so helpful.”
