Jacob Elordi has been accused of grabbing the throat of a controversial radio host during an alleged altercation at an Australian pub.
The BBC reported Monday that Joshua Fox from local station KIIS FM admittedly tracked the “Saltburn” star, 26, to a bar in Sydney on Saturday when he heard the actor was in the city.
Fox, 32, claimed on “The Kyle & Jackie O Show” that Elordi got upset when the internet jokester approached him outside the establishment to ask him on camera to fill an empty container with bath water.
KIIS FM then played audio in which the “Euphoria” star could allegedly be heard asking not to be filmed.
Fox told co-hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson that he agreed to stop “because the joke didn’t land.” However, he claimed Elordi got “right in [his] face” and demanded he delete the recording.
The polarizing media personality said he felt “intimidated” but refused because he wanted to preserve the footage as evidence of the alleged confrontation.
According to Fox, the actor then “[flipped]” out, “pushe[d]” him “against the wall” and put “his hands” on his “throat.”
The Sunday Telegraph previously confirmed that Fox did not sustain any injuries in the alleged bust-up but did file a report with police.
According to the outlet, Fox refused to give a formal statement; however, the alleged assault is under investigation.
The Telegraph also reported that the “Priscilla” star — who was “offended by one of the questions posed by Fox” — left the scene after the alleged incident.
Reps for Elordi and Fox did not immediately respond to Pvnew’s requests for comment.
