Tarek El Moussa cited for battery
Tarek El Moussa has been cited for battery. The Flip or Flop star reportedly got into a physical altercation with a man at the Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas last week, but was not arrested over the incident. An incident report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department seen by Entertainment Weekly noted Tarek was cited for battery after allegedly "pushing and using his right hand to punch" the man, whose name was redacted for privacy reasons, "in his head multiple times" on 5 June. The 43-year-old HGTV personality claimed the incident occurred when he was defending his elderly father. His attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, said in a statement, "Tarek intends to contest these allegations in a court of law where he will assert his right to self-defence and the defence of his elderly and infirmed father." According to the incident report, when police arrived, the alleged victim claimed he had been sitting at a roulette table when a stranger approached him "aggressively and hit him", but he couldn't give details such as how he was hit or how many times, but stressed he wanted to press charges. Tarek told cops the man had hit his dad on the back with his hand, so he got out of his chair to confront the guy and protect his father, who has back problems, but declined to say more without a lawyer present. Surveillance footage obtained by police appeared to indicate that Tarek's dad, whose name was also redacted, was sitting at a roulette table with the man standing nearby. At one point, he could be seen getting upset and turning to glare at the stranger, and while it was unclear why he was unhappy, the report stated "it appeared that [redacted] could have potentially bumped into his chair." Tarek's dad continued his game until the other man touched his right shoulder, when they exchanged words. When the reality star saw what was happening, he is said to have "charged at [redacted] and shoved him". The report continued: "[Redacted] shoved him back, and they both took a fighting stance. Then [redacted] appeared to go for a takedown at the legs of El Moussa. Due to the angle of the footage it is not certain but appeared that when [redacted went for] the takedown, he was struck with the knee of El Moussa, then fell to the floor, and El Moussa mounted his back and threw three more strikes with his fist to the head of [redacted] before getting up and walking away." The alleged victim had bruising beneath his right eye and a cut on the bridge of his nose.

The fight happened at the Palazzo at the Venetian Resort on June 5, with witnesses telling the gossip site that the 43-year-old Flip or Flop star kneed the other man in the head before knocking him out. A source told TMZ that El Moussa — who was in Sin City for a speaking event with wife Heather Rae El Moussa and his parents — was defending his elderly father when the fight broke out.

Tarek El Moussa cited for battery after Vegas scuffle involving his dad
Tarek El Moussa might be flipping houses by day, but last week he was reportedly flipping a man, with his knee. The HGTV star found himself at the centre of an unexpected headline after a physical altercation at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas landed him a battery citation on June 5. Allegedly defending his dad, with a knockout move According to TMZ, things got physical when a man allegedly began harassing Tarek's elderly father. The Flip Off star reportedly stepped in like a real-life action hero, and the incident escalated to the point where Tarek allegedly delivered a knockout knee to the man's head. No arrests were made, and both parties refused medical help because Vegas, apparently. Radio silence on the fight, full volume on family Police still cited Tarek for battery, though. But did he come out guns blazing to explain himself on social media? Nope. He did something way more dad-core. Just hours after the report dropped, Tarek took to Instagram... not to address the battery charge, but to celebrate his daughter Taylor's academic milestone. He shared a cosy family photo with his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, ex-wife Christina Haack, and their children, all beaming with pride. The caption? 'Celebrating Tay!' Like the Vegas scuffle never even happened. Christina's shady nod to 'mistakes' Christina, never one to stay silent, joined in on the family love-fest with a heartfelt message. She praised their daughter's intelligence and spirit, while cheekily referencing past 'mistakes'—possibly hinting at both Tarek's current headline and their famously messy divorce. She hoped Taylor would learn from their not-so-glorious moments. You know, the kind that make tabloid gold. Divorce, co-parenting, and a blended reality TV family Tarek and Christina were married from 2009 to 2018 and co-parent their two kids, Taylor (14) and Brayden (9). After their Flip or Flop fame fizzled post-split, they both moved on—Christina through another divorce and Tarek through a new marriage with Selling Sunset's Heather Rae, with whom he now shares a baby boy, Tristan. Dad first, drama later? So while Tarek might be dodging the drama in public, the internet is watching closely. One thing is clear: he is not letting a little battery citation ruin his proud dad vibes.
