Following allegations of beating a radio producer on Saturday, Jacob Elordi is the subject of a police investigation in his home country of Australia.
The Australian Daily Telegraph was the first to disclose that Joshua Fox, a producer for KIIS FM’s “The Kyle & Jackie O Show,” approached the “Saltburn” and “Euphoria” actor while he was staying at a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. In allusion to a now-viral scene from “Saltburn,” he asked Elordi if he could give Jackie O some of his bathwater for her birthday, according to Fox’s version of events on the show on Monday morning. After Elordi requested that Fox cease shooting and remove the footage, the situation is said to have gotten worse.

Radio Producer’s Statement
Fox stated on “The Kyle & Jackie O Show” that “I refuse to because I feel uncomfortable right now and this is the only evidence.” Jacob then kind of just flips, pushing me against the wall while placing his hands on my throat.
The New South Wales Police said they are looking into the situation in a statement to Variety. According to a statement from NSW Police, “Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.” “Around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 3, 2024, police received information of a reported assault involving a 32-year-old man and a 26-year-old guy.
