On 15 February 2021, Michael Lichaa discovered his fiancée, Kara Childerhouse, performing a sex act on his former teammate at Lichaa's home in Connells Point, , during the early hours following a party involving heavy alcohol consumption. The incident began when Lichaa woke to find Childerhouse and Elliott together, leading to a heated altercation that escalated into a physical confrontation. Lichaa allegedly pushed Childerhouse, causing her to strike her head on a wall, and engaged in a verbal exchange with Elliott, before chasing Childerhouse into the street and punching a window in rage, resulting in deep lacerations to his arms. Neighbors, alerted by yelling and threats, called emergency services around 4:50 a.m., prompting to arrive at the scene. Lichaa was hospitalized under guard for on his injuries, losing significant blood in the process, before being transported to Kogarah Police Station for questioning. Police charged Lichaa with common assault (domestic violence), destroying or damaging property (domestic violence), and stalking or intimidation with intent to cause fear of physical or mental harm (domestic violence), all related to the altercation with Childerhouse. He was granted conditional bail and scheduled to appear in Sutherland Local Court. The scandal received immediate widespread media attention from outlets including the Sydney Morning Herald, News.com.au, and Fox Sports, focusing on the "love triangle" aspect and its ties to the NRL community. Although Lichaa had already departed the NRL at the end of the 2020 season, the incident further tarnished his public image and highlighted ongoing personal challenges in his post-professional career.

Legal outcomes and aftermath

In August 2022, Michael Lichaa was acquitted of two counts of and one count of or intimidating his then-fiancée Kara Childerhouse, stemming from an incident in February 2021. The acquittal in Local Court followed Childerhouse's refusal to provide despite being subpoenaed, which the cited as a key factor due to the lack of corroborating testimony; her earlier recorded statement retracting the assault allegations was admitted instead.

The relationship dissolved shortly after the event, with Childerhouse citing stress from her as a reason for not testifying, and by the trial, the pair had separated permanently. Professionally, the charges led to an indefinite suspension from playing under (NSWRL) integrity rules, barring him from registration and effectively ending his prospects of returning to the sport. This fallout, combined with ongoing injuries, contributed directly to Lichaa's from professional in 2021 at age 27, despite prior interest from clubs.

He described the experience as profoundly difficult to revisit, stating, "It's not something you want to go through and certainly not something you want to relive." Lichaa emphasized his reluctance to dwell on the past, noting that he "hasn't thought about it in a long time" and has largely "blanked it all out" to maintain his post-retirement. Reflecting on the betrayal, Lichaa acknowledged how it destroyed his relationship and a close friendship, but he expressed significant personal growth in processing the aftermath. He candidly admitted, "It's not like I have always been . I've done some things in my life I regret," highlighting his recognition of his own flaws as part of his . Regarding his , he recalled it as a "not pleasant experience" that contributed to the ordeal, though he has since moved past it. Lichaa also viewed the in 2022 as a key point of closure that allowed him to rebuild. Now working in the building industry after retiring from the NRL in 2021 at age 27, Lichaa leads a quieter life focused on family and professional stability. He is married to , with whom he has a daughter, and credits the events with leading to positive changes, saying, "Everything kind of happens for a reason... Since then, I met the woman who is now my wife." Without resentment, he has forgiven those involved, stating, "I don't have any hate for . I have moved on," and affirming that "what happened, happened, and it is in the past," underscoring his commitment to forward momentum.
