Glum Tarek El Moussa seen with wife for first time since brutal Las Vegas hotel bust-up as new details emerge
As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice that Tarek El Moussa made a public appearance for the first time since our hearts skipped a beat over the tumultuous incident in Las Vegas last week.
On a Thursday, the HGTV celebrity, aged 43, seemed downcast upon his arrival at a Toronto airport alongside his spouse Heather, who is 37 years old.
The pair, residents of Newport Beach, California, were snapped as they navigated the airport terminal while carrying their suitcases.
Heather gleamed brightly, displaying a wide grin, as she greeted fellow voyagers, whereas Tarek maintained an inconspicuous demeanor by pulling down a dark cap to cover his eyes.
The pair were later seen waiting near a black SUV at the airport’s outdoor pickup spot.
The sighting came just hours before new alleged details about Tarek’s Las Vegas brawl emerged.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Tarek’s representatives for comment.
Last Thursday saw an incident take place at The Palazzo inside the Venetian hotel. This confrontation involved Tarek and an unidentified man, according to representatives from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Witnesses claimed that Tarek drove his knee into the man’s head, knocking him out.
According to a source, it was reported that Tarek intervened to protect his elderly father during the altercation.
The HGTV personality was cited for battery for the incident but was not arrested over it.
Tarek’s wife Heather was present at the time, but had no involvement in the physical violence.
As an overly enthusiastic fan, I can’t help but share this latest scoop! It appears that the infamous altercation is said to be caught on camera at a Las Vegas casino, according to a report obtained by TMZ from the Metropolitan Police Department. The footage, if authentic, could potentially shed new light on the situation.
As per the report, the altercation began when it appears that Tarek’s accuser accidentally knocked over Tarek’s father’s chair at a roulette table in The Palazzo, which sparked the incident involving the HGTV star.
According to reports, Tarek’s father appeared to be annoyed by the encounter, as he apparently swiveled in his chair to confront the individual.
In an unexpected turn of events, when my father seemed to be turning away, a gentleman is said to have discreetly touched me on the right shoulder and shared some words with me. This interaction apparently stirred something within me, causing me to become more engaged in the situation, as I was seated close by my father at the time.
According to reports, Tarek reportedly stood up from where he was sitting and moved towards the man aggressively, shoving him in the process. Then, the two of them assumed a position as if they were about to engage in a physical altercation.
According to a police statement, it is claimed that Tarek’s opponent made an attempt to bring him down by targeting his legs, suggests the report.
As a die-hard admirer, let me rephrase my account of the event: I allege that Tarek, in an unfortunate turn of events, reportedly knelt the man forcefully to the ground. The authorities later stated that Tarek, in an alarming display of aggression, seemed to have climbed onto the man’s back and administered three brutal strikes to his head.
After the ‘three blows to the head,’ Tarek allegedly ‘got up and walked away.’
The event was reported to the authorities as a case of physical attack or violence, and the person who claimed to be the victim expressed his desire to file a complaint with the police.
The report stated that the man sustained multiple injuries following the casino fight, such as discolorations under his right eye (purple and red) and a wound on the bridge of his nose.
According to the police, the account given by the supposed victim about the fight with Tarek didn’t exactly match up with what was seen in the hotel’s security camera recordings.
Based on police reports, the man stated that Tarek confronted him in a hostile manner at the roulette table, and then physically attacked him. However, the man maintained his version of events, saying he was only acting in self-defense.
Apart from being questioned by the police, Tarek explained that he had approached the man solely to safeguard his father, who suffered from back issues.
However, Tarek stopped speaking with cops after his Miranda rights were read, according to TMZ.
On Thursday, Tarek’s lawyers, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, stated that Tarek plans to challenge these accusations in a court of justice. There, he will exercise his right to defend himself, as well as his right to protect his elderly and incapacitated father.
A few days following the fight in Las Vegas, Tarek met up with his former spouse, Christina Haack, to commemorate their daughter Taylor’s graduation from middle school.
Tarek El Moussa and Heather Haack (both aged 41) were accompanied by Tarek’s present spouse, Heather, in creating a harmonious blended family.
On Instagram, posted on Tuesday, the proud parents flashed smiles as they stood alongside their 14-year-old graduate and nine-year-old son Brayden for a group photo.
Christina, fresh from her third marriage dissolution, penned a heartfelt message: “Taylor, we’re beaming with pride for you and eagerly cheering as you embark on the next chapter of your life. Our stunning, intelligent, remarkable, shining beacon, we all cherish and admire you.
In a playful manner, the mother – who co-parents five-year-old Hudson with her former husband, Ant Anstead – jokingly said, “May the lessons from our past mistakes serve as a map for you to find a more brilliant path ahead.
She inserted three emoticons expressing both tears and laughter before concluding her heartfelt message, which read, ‘I love you, darling. Here’s to high school again!!!’
On Instagram Stories, Christina posted a picture featuring only Tarek and Taylor, captioning it: “Despite our ups and downs, we’ve consistently excelled as wonderful coparents.
This year, Tarek, Heather, and Christina appeared together on HGTV’s The Flip Off, having left their rocky history in the past.
The program is a follow-up series stemming from the original success of Flip or Flop, which gained popularity during Tarek and Christina’s nine-year marriage.
Christina was married to Tarek from 2009 to 2018. She was married to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021.
In May she finalized her contentious divorce from ex-husband Josh Hall.
After the legal issue was resolved, she expressed gratitude towards celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser on her Instagram Stories.
she penned in large, bright-white letters set against a dark backdrop, “Massive gratitude to the dissolution queen @laurawasserofficial and your team, @ashleymoe22 and @existentialjuju. Each one of you truly embodies class.
I thoroughly enjoyed observing your performances, the elegance and poise with which you manage situations and people is truly admirable. Words can’t express how much I value you.
In the heartfelt letter, it went on to say, ‘Through your tutelage, I’ve acquired a wealth of knowledge for which I am deeply thankful. It feels good to have this chapter concluded. I eagerly look forward to advancing in life and concentrating on my future endeavors and all the blessings that await me.’
