Lara Bingle, born June 5, 1987 in Yowie Bay, New South Wales, is on the
verge of being the next Aussie national brand, has everyone talking. Is
her relationship with cricketer Michael Clarkes over? Is that really her
voice on those infamous messages asking the famous question, I don’t
know what I’ve done, I’ve heard you went back to your wife? The swimsuit
model and spokesperson for the tourism campaign, “Where the bloody hell
are you?” is, at the moment, being represented by a manager who only
wants a million dollars to sit down and get Lara’s side of the story.
Growing bored with her representation of Speedo, Vodaphone and
Synergy, the latter being launched with Clarkes, Lara seemed to wait too
long for a fashion label to call her own. Ending the association with
her (ex?) boyfriend’s Quarterback International, she has since gone
through several agents who have, for one reason or the other, ended the
association. Her newest manager seems ready to take on the latest sex
scandal Lara is involved in with the discovery of her topless picture in
the shower. Though it’s 4 years old, the picture has created a media
storm. She plans to sue, and her manager feels that she shall prevail in
finding justice and striking a blow for women’s rights. Why bring a
defamation case when it might be better served to sue the magazine that
first published the picture? The bidding war for Lara’s story made it
clear; the magazine that published the picture is also being allowed to
bid for her story!
