Jacob Elordi “under investigation for alleged altercation”

Jacob Elordi was allegedly involved in an altercation outside a Sydney hotel on Saturday afternoon.

The Saltburn actor is said to be under investigation by New South Wales Police following reports of a brawl between him and controversial KIIS FM employee Joshua Fox.

The Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that 26-year-old Elordi had already been at the Clovelly Hotel for several hours when Fox allegedly approached him.

Elordi was apparently upset with Fox, who is known for his social media stunts, after the 32-year-old radio host asked him a series of questions.

A New South Wales Police spokesman did not name Elordi in connection with the incident, but confirmed that officers were investigating reports of an alleged assault.

“Officers from the Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs,” New South Wales Police said in a statement.

“Police were notified on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m. that a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old man. The man sustained no injuries.”

Officers are believed to be examining video surveillance footage of the incident.

An audio recording of the alleged altercation was played on Monday morning’s episode of the Australian program “The Kyle and Jackie O Show.”

During the clip, Fox can be heard asking Elordi if he would fill a glass with his bath water and send it to radio presenter Jackie O’Henderson, in reference to Elordi’s infamous bathing scene in Saltburn.

The actor was then apparently overheard asking if Fox was serious and if he was filming their conversation.

When Fox confirmed that he was filming the episode, an angry Elordi reportedly responded, “Can’t you, man, please?”

A KIIS FM executive producer claimed a member of Elordi’s entourage pressured Fox to delete the footage.

Australian-born star Elordi has not yet commented on the reports of the altercation.
