Tarek El Moussa cited for battery following heated physical altercation in Las Vegas casino
Tarek El Moussa was cited for battery after the 'Flip or Flop' alum allegedly knocked a man out in Las Vegas last week.
The HGTV star and another male were involved in an altercation at the Palazzo at the Venetian Resort in Sin City on June 5, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to Page Six Tuesday.
Witnesses alleged to TMZ, who was the first to report the news, that they saw El Moussa, 43, deliver a knee to the man's head, which knocked him out cold.
An onlooker claimed to the outlet the incident was 'bad,' adding that the guy looked seriously hurt. The alleged victim reportedly refused medical attention.
A source told Page Six that El Moussa was 'protecting his elderly father' after the man allegedly got out of line with the real estate investor's dad.
Cops arrived at the scene around 11 p.m. and took a crime report. Though they declined to arrest El Moussa, he was cited for battery.
A rep for El Moussa did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
A few days ago, El Moussa's wife, Heather Rae Young, shared snaps from their family Vegas trip on Instagram.
'Not our average Vegas trip…
,' she captioned the post. 'Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride.'
'We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes — our world, our work, and of course, the glam. Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together.
,' the former 'Selling Sunset' star, 37, added.
Young did not mention the altercation.

‘Baywatch' star Donna D'Errico celebrates Fourth of July with patriotic bikini photo
Donna D'Errico is flaunting her bikini body on the Fourth of July. The former 'Baywatch' star took to Instagram to share a new photo of herself, decked out in a red bikini with white star details for the holiday. Advertisement In addition to the new picture, she shared two additional photos of herself in similar patriotic bikinis, captioning her post, '4th of July now, 3 yrs ago, & 6 yrs ago.' 'Happy Independence Day!' she added. D'Errico is no stranger to sharing racy photos – she shares several with her Instagram followers, and is now a top model on OnlyFans. But in December 2023, she told Fox News Digital that these kind of scantily clad photos aren't what her followers request the most. Advertisement 'You know, in the beginning, I got a lot of, or some requests, for feet,' she shared of starting her OnlyFans account. 'I don't really get that anymore. Now, they mostly want to see me, like in everyday life, just the real me and everyday life.' The former Playboy Playmate added, 'Maybe wearing a T-shirt, making coffee or, you know, just that kind of thing. That's the biggest request.' D'Errico said she receives requests from followers asking her to 'take a picture of you right now. I want to see what you look like right now.' Advertisement 'I'm like, 'Well, I don't have any makeup on and my hair is in a ponytail, and I'm kind of in sweats,'' she said. ''I don't care. I want to see that.' So, they like that because I think it gives them kind of what I call 'the girlfriend experience.' It may be.' 4 D'Errico flaunted her red and white striped bikini bottoms in a photo she posted on July 4, 2022. 4 Donna D'Errico attends hte Last Chance For Animals Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Oct. 14, 2023.

They get to log in and have fun kind of having an experience that they would have if they had a girlfriend. But then they log off, and then they're gone. There's nobody to check in with.' Advertisement In May, however, her fans were excited to see a particular swimsuit photo – one of her in her iconic red 'Baywatch' one-piece. 'Guess who found her old swimsuit…' she captioned the post. Her followers filled her comment section with heart and fire emojis, with one writing, 'Wow!!! Seeing this, feels like getting caught in a rip tide and need saving!' 4 D'Errico pulled out her old 'Baywatch' swimsuit for a photo shoot in May 2025.

‘The Office' star Craig Robinson reveals he's quitting comedy to ‘focus on my true calling'
Is this a joke? Comedian Craig Robinson, known for playing Darryl Philbin in 'The Office,' shocked fans when he announced plans to close the curtain on his comedy career and focus on his 'true calling.' 'I'm officially quitting comedy to focus on my true calling,' Robinson shared in a relaxed Instagram reel posted on June 29. 'Stay tuned. I'm working on something huge.' 4 Craig Robinson announced he's 'officially quitting comedy.' @mrcraigrobinson / Instagram The 'Hot Tub Time Machine' actor posted two cryptic Instagram posts this week, where he discussed leaving the business, but he didn't elaborate on the details of his next venture. 'It's been an amazing run and y'all [have] been amazing and wonderful but I'm following something bigger,' Robinson said on Sunday. Robinson, 53, posted a follow-up Instagram reel on Monday, seemingly wearing the exact white shirt from the first video, and confessed that the idea didn't turn out as he planned. 'Turns out having a dream and building a business with your friends are two VERY different things,' Robinson said in a follow-up Instagram reel posted on Monday. The Chicago native, who also starred in the comedy blockbuster 'Pineapple Express,' asked his followers to give him business advice. 4 The comedian didn't elaborate on what his next business venture will be. @mrcraigrobinson / Instagram 'I can't go into detail just yet, but for real though, any help would be huge.' The Post has reached out to Robinson. Fans questioned if the 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' actor was retiring from comedy or if these 'quitting' posts were just part of a bit. 'Yeah we ain't failing for that,' one fan commented under his initial announcement. 4 Robinson is known for playing Darryl Philbin in 'The Office.' ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection The jokester has dozens of stand-up shows booked at comedy clubs across the US through November, according to StubHub. Robinson rose to fame by taking smaller sitcoms in shows like 'Friends' and 'The Bernie Mac Show' until his big break came in 2005 when he was cast in 'The Office.' 'The Office' cast was nominated for five Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Robinson has acted in dozens of projects since 'The Office' and was nominated for a 2024 Daytime Emmy Award for hosting 'Harlem Globetrotters: Play It Forward.' 4 Robinson acted in 'The Office' from 2005 – 2013. Chris Haston/NBC Another longtime comedian announced he was dropping the microphone – for good – after his final special. George Lopez said his special, 'George Lopez: Muy Católico (Very Catholic),' which debuted in February 2025, was his last one, according to an interview with Tameron Hall on her talk show in October 2024. 'I've subjected the American people to enough of my crap,' Lopez shared.

'The Challenge' Star Suffers Heartbreaking Loss: 'A Part of Me Went With Him'
'The Challenge' Star Suffers Heartbreaking Loss: 'A Part of Me Went With Him' originally appeared on Parade. A star of MTV's The Challenge has suffered a heartwrenching loss. The Challenge star took to Instagram on Friday, June 27, to share with her friends and followers that her father has died after a long, painful battle with Alzheimer's. "With the heaviest heart, I share that my dad has passed away," writes Aneesa on her Instagram stories. "He left this world peacefully, free from Alzheimer's at last. I imagine him whole again — dancing among the stars." She continues, "He left this world peacefully, and I find comfort in believing that he's now somewhere beyond the reach of Alzheimer's — a place where his mind is clear, his body is whole, and he has a smile on his face."Even with that comfort, my heart feels broken. The world feels quieter without him. A part of me went with him when he left. "Losing a parent is a pain unlike any other — a quiet ache that lingers in everything. I will miss my dad every single day, but I know this isn't the end. I believe we'll meet again, in some beautiful way, someday. I love you, daddy." Aneesa has been candid about her father's experience with Alzheimer's. Just 12 days before he died, she wrote a poignant Father's Day post about how "heavy and sad" this year was because of his late-stage dementia. "As some of you know, my dad has late-stage Alzheimer's dementia. Watching someone you love go through this cruel disease is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. He can no longer walk or speak, and seeing him like this is heartbreaking," wrote Aneesa. "This Father's Day hits different. It's heavy and sad. If you're going through something similar, or if you've lost a parent, please know — I see you, I feel you, and my heart is with you today." The comments were flooded with her fellow Challenge competitors offering their support. "Dad love 🙏💙," wrote Derrick Kosinski. Tori Deal wrote, "Sending you so much love, nushy!" "❤️ Hang in there, sister. You got this," wrote Tina Barta. Josh Martinez wrote, "Love you so much Neesi ❤️." Cara Maria Sorbello wrote, "Sending love nees ❤️." Aneesa is the most prolific female Challenge contestant, having appeared on 18 seasons of the long-running MTV competition series — though she is still chasing that elusive win. The only Challengers who have been on more seasons than Aneesa are Johnny Bananas (22) and CT Tamburello (21).
