Do you remember back in 2020 during lockdown when there were quite a few whispers and vague news floating about Mitch and Alyssa's marriage and how they are separating/seperated which had since disappeared and wiped off internet which I saw when I tried to attach the news.. Is it only me who remembers that time? Cause seemingly everyone else has no recollection of that time which is just so weird 😶🌫️
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
Yes, Yes anon I remember. Murdoch gets so much hate for their shady media reporting but honestly Fox is just that much worse.
I do remember the Fox News reporting at that time, insinuating ever so slyly about deeper issues and each other's absences at some events/games meaning something more....
And gosh honestly, next year when the full picture came out was so infinitely worse. Mitch probably had one of his worst seasons cricketing wise in 2020 (love Warney so much, but what he was doing to Mitch that season honestly, just reduced so much respect for him in my eyes), I can only imagine the strict bio bubbles weren't helping anyone- to the point where I just remember one of his interviews with Mitch going "careers were getting shortened" (that was probably indication enough to what was going through his head) and then the sly reporting & insinuation that there was something wrong with the couple, all for it to come out next year, that Mitch had lost his father to cancer.
I cannot imagine the anguish of him going through seeing his father fighting cancer knowing he won't make it, bio bubbles and state restrictions making travelling impossible, Alyssa's own cricket schedule not helping and then one of his worst cricket seasons (which was honestly not THAT bad) and then being teared into the media by one of our greatest Warney and then to top it all of, have his marriage called into speculation, God Mitch had went through enough and he didn't even complained once!
Gosh anon, you really brought back so many memories and maybe I'll write a proper piece about it sometime if people are forgetting what our media houses are capable of doing to our athletes 😔
