On the surface, Grant Hackett seems to have it all รขโ‚ฌโ€œ a beautiful wife, gorgeous two-year-old twins, and a golden reputation that has earned him a host of corporate gigs and a commentary spot at next yearรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Olympics.

The fight was so loud and frightening to neighbours that police were called, with eight police cars arriving at the swish city apartment block to investigate the incident and provide protection to Candice. รขโ‚ฌล“Grant was shouting non-stop, drowning out Candice,รขโ‚ฌย says the neighbour. รขโ‚ฌล“I couldnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt hear the exact words, but some of our neighbours on several different floors heard the piano going down, and then there was silence after that รขโ‚ฌโ€œ but before then, there was a lot of small stuff and furniture being thrown around.
