According to TMZ, Tarek El Moussa was involved in a physical altercation with another man who was allegedly harassing his father. The incident occurred on Thursday at The Palazzo, located within The Venetian Resort.
A witness to the incident stated the scene was “and” and noted the victim was “seriously roughed up.”
Although Las Vegas police officers cited him for the altercation, the HGTV star was not arrested. He received a citation for battery. All involved parties reportedly refused medical attention.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE that officers responded to the battery incident. Moussa was the only one cited.
Along with his father, El Moussa’s mother, Dominique El Moussa, his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, and Heather’s parents were also on the trip. The couple shared photos and videos of their trip on Instagram.
In one of the posts, it was revealed that El Moussa was speaking at an event while on the trip.
“Not our average Vegas trip,” Heather wrote in the caption. “Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the trip.”
Heather then shared, “We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes – our world, our work, and of course, the glam.”
The fellow HGTV star further shared, “Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together.”
