Jacob Elordi, known for his roles in ‘Saltburn’ and ‘Euphoria,’ has found himself caught up in a bit of drama back home in Australia. The actor is now the subject of a police investigation following an alleged altercation with a radio producer.
As detailed by the Australian publication, the incident unfolded at a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Joshua Fox, a producer for ‘The Kyle & Jackie O Show’ on KIIS FM, approached Elordi during the encounter.

According to Fox’s account shared on the show, he jokingly requested some of Elordi’s bathwater for Jackie O’s birthday, a nod to a famous scene from ‘Saltburn.’ Elordi, apparently not amused, requested Fox to cease filming and delete the footage. However, things took a turn for the worse from there.
On Monday morning’s broadcast of ‘The Kyle & Jackie O Show,’ Fox recounted the situation, alleging that Elordi became aggressive. “I refuse to [delete the footage] because I feel uncomfortable right now and this is the only evidence,” Fox explained. “And then Jacob kind of just flips and he kind of pushes me against the wall and his hands are on my throat.”
The New South Wales Police confirmed that they are looking into the matter. A statement from the NSW Police revealed, “Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Police were told about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, 3 February 2024, a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-year-old man. The man did not sustain any injuries. Inquiries into the incident are continuing.”
As of now, no formal charges have been filed in connection with the incident
