Brooke was viciously slammed for the code breach, with many critics suggesting it was reflective of a sense of entitlement among well-paid footy stars and their partners.“I kept saying to Trent, the only reason — it sounds extreme — but the only reason I didn’t kill myself was because of my kids,’’ Brooke told the Curious Conversations podcast in 2021.“I suppose you get painted as this person that you’re not and you’ve got no control so you just have to deal with it.
Her husband now says there was one particular moment when he feared she may have never come back to him — or the couple’s three children, Harper, Mackenzie and Parker.
