TV star Tarek El Moussa was allegedly involved in a violent fight in a Las Vegas casino last week that gave another man serious injuries.
The star of the show, “Flip or Flop” which ran for ten seasons on HGTV until 2023, was on vacation in Vegas with his wife Heather Rae Young and family members.
The alleged incident took place on the Palazzo casino floor. According to a summary of the surveillance footage that was obtained, the altercation began when a man bumped into El Moussa’s elderly father, who had been seated at a roulette table.
El Moussa then allegedly sprang into action as a scuffle ensued that resulted in the man being kneed in the head to knock him down. He then delivered three strikes to the head before leaving the scene, according to witnesses and reports.
The 43-year-old claimed he had just been protecting his elderly father, who had a history of back problems. The victim of the attack did not go to the hospital despite being roughed up pretty badly. El Moussa was not arrested on the scene, but he was read his Miranda rights and was cited for battery.
This altercation continues a recent tradition of spats in Vegas with a verbal confrontation between UFC stars occurring last month. As well as the even more notable viral fight in a Vegas poker room that made the rounds on social media, gathering millions of views.
