Tarek El Moussa gets battery charge from Las Vegas scuffle dismissed - after fulfilling certain conditions

Tarek El Moussa is no longer in legal jeopardy after he was charged with misdemeanor battery following a Las Vegas scuffle - his case has now been dismissed. According to court records obtained by the Daily Mail, El Moussa, 43, was facing a misdemeanor battery charge over the incident, but he was able to participate in the court's Pre-Prosecution Diversion Program where he was ordered to complete 'impulse control counseling' and to 'stay out of trouble.' El Moussa was able to show proof that he completed the diversion program requirements, and a judge dismissed his case on Aug. 5. has reached out to a representative for El Moussa for comment but did not immediately hear back. The altercation occurred in June at The Palazzo at the Venetian hotel between Tarek and another male, whose identity has yet to be revealed, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Witnesses claimed that Tarek drove his knee into the man's head, knocking him out. Tarek El Moussa is no longer in legal jeopardy following his Las Vegas scuffle - his case has now been dismissed; pictured January 2025 A source told at the time that Tarek was defending his elderly father when the squabble occurred. The HGTV personality was cited for battery for the incident but was not arrested over it. Tarek's wife, Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa, was present at the time, but had no involvement in the physical violence. TMZ obtained a Las Vegas Metropolitan PD report that alleged the violent bust-up was captured on casino surveillance video. According to the report, the fight kicked off after Tarek's alleged victim allegedly bumped into the HGTV star's father's chair at a roulette table inside The Palazzo. The bump-in reportedly upset Tarek's father, who allegedly turned around in his seat to face the man. After Tarek's father turned his back, the man allegedly tapped him on the right shoulder and said something to him that reportedly caused Tarek, who was seated near his father, to get involved. Tarek allegedly got up from his seat and 'charged at the man, pushing him back before the two got into a 'fighting stance.'' As per the police report, Tarek's adversary allegedly went for the star's legs in an attempt to take him down. But Tarek allegedly proceeded to knee the man to the floor. The police then claimed that Tarek 'mounted the man's back and pummeled him with three blows to the head.' A source told at the time that Tarek was defending his elderly father when the squabble occurred (Las Vegas sign pictured April 2017) After the 'three blows to the head,' Tarek allegedly 'got up and walked away.' The incident was called in as an 'assault/battery' and the alleged victim told police that he wanted to press charges. The report claimed that the man suffered several injuries as a result of the casino altercation, including 'purple and red bruises under the right eye and a cut on the bridge of his nose.' The police said that the alleged victim's account of the fight with Tarek differed slightly from what they had viewed on the hotel's surveillance footage. According to cops, the man claimed he was 'aggressively approached' by Tarek at the roulette table before allegedly being 'assaulted' by him. The man insisted he was trying to defend himself. Tarek was also interviewed by police. He insisted that he only confronted the man to 'protect his Dad due to him having back problem.' However, Tarek stopped speaking with cops after his Miranda rights were read, according to TMZ. In a statement to the outlet at the time, Tarek's attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said: 'Tarek intends to contest these allegations in a court of law where he will assert his right to self-defense and the defense of his elderly and infirmed father.'

JD Vance's awkward moment after pub owned by Meghan Markle florist refuses to serve him

Workers at a pub in the Cotswolds threatened to walk out after they discovered that American Vice President JD Vance had hoped to dine there during his trip to the UK A pub in the Cotswolds was almost faced with chaos after dinner reservations were made for Vice President JD Vance, according to reports. It's claimed the US vice president was expected to attend a gastro-pub in the area, but had to swiftly change plans. ‌ Vance has been on a family holiday with his wife, Usha Chilukuri, 39, and their three children. His visit to the UK had sparked controversy after locals hit out at him for making their life "hell" due to the multiple car police convoys and buzzing helicopters. ‌ And now, it's been reported that one group of staff took matters into their own hands. It's thought Vance had reservations at the Bull Pub, which entertained former US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris last week. It comes after Vogue Williams quits drinking after blacking out drunk at lavish showbiz wedding. ‌ But workers were reportedly unimpressed with a planned visit from the Vance clan and threatened to walk out if his reservation was honoured. Speaking to The Daily Mail, Richard Fairhurst, who runs the local Charlbury community blog, said: "It's very widely believed locally [that staff refused to serve Vance] but The Bull are keeping schtum.' The showbiz blog Popbitch also wrote: "The mutinous staff all said they wouldn't come to work if they had to serve Vance and his wife. Facing staff grumbles and a barrage of negative press attention, The Bull refused his patronage." But Vance's camp played down the alleged incident, with a source saying: "The Bull was included as a potential option for lunch, but the family ultimately decided not to go. There was never any indication from the Bull that he or his family were not welcome." ‌ The Bull is owned by florist, Willow Crossley. Her floral designs were featured at the 2018 wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Vance's UK visit comes as his friendship with The Apprentice star Tom Skinner is also in the public eye of late. The reality TV star's upcoming Strictly Come Dancing appearance has fans of the BBC show outraged. While some of Tom's followers enjoyed his no-nonsense posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, his controversial opinions have also landed him in hot water at times. ‌ He recently confirmed he had enjoyed a BBQ with the US Vice President after he had shown support for convicted felon Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Vance and Skinner had previously interacted on social media before meeting "in the beautiful English countryside" where the VP is holidaying. After hanging out, Tom wrote on X: "Unreal night with JD and his friends and family. He was a proper gent. Lots of laughs and some fantastic food. A brilliant night, one to tell the grandkids about." He also posted a picture of himself posing with Vance after a "couple of beers". He said: "Here is a pic of Me and Vice President @JDVance towards the end of the night after a few beers. "I'm overdressed in my suit, but when the VP invites you to a BBQ, you don't risk turning up in shorts and flip-flops. Cracking night in the beautiful English countryside with JD, his friends and family. Once in a lifetime. Bosh."

Hateful anti-white posts of woke writer for prestigious Conde Nast magazine

A staff writer for The New Yorker has sparked backlash over a slew of shocking anti-white tweets. Doreen St. Felix, a journalist who has also written for Vogue and Time Magazine, swiftly deleted her social media after X users brought up her tweets about how 'whiteness fills me with a lot of hate.' In other tweets, she wrote that 'whiteness must be abolished', that she 'would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy' and that white people's lack of hygiene once started a plague. 'I hate white men,' the 33 year-old Haitian-American writer said in yet another post, which was first highlighted by conservative journalist Chris Rufo. 'You all are the worst. Go nurse your f***ing Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.' St. Felix found her corrosive missives in the spotlight after writing for the Conde Nast-owned magazine about the controversy surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney 's American Eagle jeans campaign. The article slammed Sweeney's fans for 'wanting to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess', and said there were plenty of reasons' not to like the actress's advert. Social media users flooded the New Yorker's X post on the article with St Felix's tweets, with one responding: 'She doesn't seem very neutral...' 'I think it may not be about the jeans,' another said, with screenshots of the writer's inflammatory tweets, some of which date back a decade. In one of the resurfaced posts, St Felix admitted that she 'writes like no white is watching.' St Felix's fascination with the Earth before whites continued in other posts, with one saying that 'we lived in perfect harmony w/ the earth pre whiteness.' 'All humans are not the reason the earth is in peril,' she wrote. 'White capitalism is.' Despite her disdain for capitalism, St Felix appears to benefit from its fruits. Her address listed as a $1.3 million home in a gated Brooklyn community which faces a pretty marina. In another post from 2015, she said that 'it's really gonna suck when we have a white president again.' 'White people, who literally started a plague because they couldn't wash their asses, need never say they taught black people hygiene,' she said in another. In one confusing take, St Felix said that 'middle class white people think hospitals are places to go when you're sick - that the police are who you go to when you need safety.' St Felix deleted her social media after the tweets resurfaced, and she could not be reached for comment. Daily Mail has contacted Conde Nast and the New Yorker for reaction to St Felix's missives. St Felix has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2017, and is a regular contributor to the weekly column Critics Notebook, according to her New Yorker profile. She was previously editor-at-large at Lenny Letter, a newsletter by actress Lena Dunham, and was a culture writer at MTV News. In 2016, the year after many of her tweets about white people were sent, she was named on Forbes' '30 Under 30' media list. In 2017, she was a finalist for a National Magazine Award for Columns and Commentary, and, in 2019, she won in the same category.
