Jacob Elordi, known for his roles in “Euphoria” and “Saltburn,” is facing accusations of grabbing the throat of controversial radio host Joshua Fox during an alleged altercation at an Australian pub.
The Alleged Altercation

Joshua Fox claimed that Jacob Elordi became upset when approached outside the establishment and asked to fill an empty container with bathwater for a joke video. Elordi allegedly requested not to be filmed, leading to a confrontation.

Joshua Fox recounted on “The Kyle & Jackie O Show” that he agreed to stop filming, but Jacob Elordi allegedly became aggressive, demanding the recording be deleted. Feeling intimidated, Fox refused and claimed Elordi pushed him against the wall and grabbed his throat.
Aftermath and Investigation
Despite not sustaining injuries, Joshua Fox filed a police report, prompting an investigation into the alleged assault. While Fox declined to provide a formal statement, the incident remains under review. Elordi reportedly left the scene following the altercation, allegedly offended by one of Fox’s questions.
Reps for Jacob Elordi and Joshua Fox have yet to respond to requests for comment on the incident.
The allegations against Elordi highlight the potential consequences of confrontations in public spaces. As investigations continue, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respectful interactions and communication, especially in high-profile situations.
The way this Jacob Elordi / Joshua Fox incident is framed, is defamatory.

Fox is a media professional who stalked & harassed Elordi in a non-professional setting.
Then he claimed to be the victim in the story but even he uses “allegedly” for his own accusation of assault.
