Tess Crosley is reportedly positioning herself for a career as a social media influencer, adopting a more glamorous persona and exploring online platforms, while her former friend Jules Neale has already found success in the influencer space following a public scandal that ended both their friendships and marriages.
The affair between Crosley and Jules Neale's husband, former Brisbane Lions captain Lachie Neale, became public last year, leading to the dissolution of both Crosley's and the Neales' marriages. Following the scandal, Jules Neale relocated to Perth with her children and has since embarked on a career as an influencer.
Sources suggest Crosley is now pursuing a similar path. Recent social media activity has fueled speculation of cosmetic enhancements, including potential breast augmentation and rhinoplasty, as well as veneers. Crosley has been seen tagging designer brands in her Instagram posts and visiting beauty salons, though it remains unclear if these are official brand collaborations.
A significant indicator of Crosley's ambitions is her quiet establishment of an account on LTK, an affiliate platform that allows influencers to earn commissions on sales generated through their links. She has also created a YouTube channel, although no content has been uploaded yet.
In contrast, Jules Neale's transition to influencing was swift. In January, she signed with the talent agency One Daydream, which announced her as a Perth-based talent with a strong presence in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. Since then, Neale has collaborated with brands such as Dyson, Luxury Escapes, and Country Road.
The fallout from the affair, which reportedly began last year, became public when rumors circulated that Crosley and Lachie Neale were caught in the act by another AFL partner. The close friendship between Crosley and Jules Neale reportedly ended at this time, with both women and Lachie Neale unfollowing each other on social media. Jules Neale later confirmed the separation from her husband, describing his actions as an "unimaginable betrayal."
