Australian actor Jacob Elordi, known for his roles in projects like 'Euphoria' and 'Saltburn,' is reportedly under investigation by the police in Australia after an altercation involving a radio producer.
The incident occurred at a Sydney hotel, where Joshua Fox, a radio producer from iHeartRadio's Australian morning show, The Kyle and Jackie O Show, approached Elordi. The encounter was orchestrated by the radio program, sending Fox to inquire about obtaining Elordi's bathwater as a 'birthday present' for one of the show's hosts.
In an alleged audio recording of the encounter, Elordi is heard expressing discomfort with the situation and asking Fox to refrain from filming. As the situation escalated, Elordi allegedly pushed Fox against a wall and placed his hands on his throat. The incident prompted an investigation by the police, with a statement confirming that a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by the 26-year-old actor.
The official police statement reads, 'Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.' The investigation is ongoing, and as of now, the man reportedly did not sustain any injuries during the altercation.
Fox recounted the events on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, describing how Elordi released him after a moment and walked away from the encounter. However, a friend of Elordi's reportedly approached Fox again, emphasizing the deletion of the recorded footage. The police contacted Fox, mentioning the availability of security footage from outside the hotel, providing an option for Fox to make a formal statement regarding the incident.
