'A step I never saw myself having to take. You: the broken, scared but resilient warriors who; message me, connect with me and reach out to me, searching for glimmers of hope, waiting for a world where we don’t have to speak up,' the mother-of-two added.
Her post was immediately flooded with messages of support from fellow WAGs, including the wife of NRL star Darius Boyd, Kayla, who wrote: 'You are incredible! So brave, so much love to you gorgeous woman.'
'So brave Phoebe! You should be proud,' Emma Hawkins, wife of AFL star Tom Hawkins, added.

The pair's marriage made headlines over several scandals with Sam at the centre of them. Details of his infidelity, struggle with alcohol and drug abuse and stint in rehab were all made public.
Phoebe partly blamed their marriage breakdown on the NRL claiming the clubs did little to help her then-husband.
'He wasn't looked after,' Phoebe said. 'He wasn't protected in the right way, in the way that may have – not saved our marriage, but it might have led to a true rehabilitation, a true sense of responsibility, owning behaviour, wanting to change that behaviour.'
