Tarek El Moussa Cleared by Judge Following Las Vegas Fight That Led to Battery Citation

Tarek El Moussa’s case has been dismissed by a judge after he received a battery citation in June, PEOPLE can confirm.

According to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE, the HGTV star, 43, underwent counseling and stayed “out of trouble,” and as a result the case against him was closed, according to an Aug. 5 disposition notice and judgement from the Justice Court of Las Vegas Township.

The incident occurred on June 5 while El Moussa was on a family vacation in Las Vegas with his parents, his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, and her parents, PEOPLE previously reported. He was cited by police, but not arrested.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE at the time that officers responded to the battery incident at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort, where two males were involved in a physical altercation resulting in one being cited.

An incident report obtained by PEOPLE later that month stated that the other man involved in the fight wanted to press charges against El Moussa at the time. 

The report included a description of the surveillance footage of the fight, which noted that El Moussa allegedly “charged” at the man and “shoved him” after he appeared to witness a tense interaction between the man and his father. 

El Moussa then appeared to “strike” the victim with his knee, causing the 51-year-old man, who was identified as “the victim” in the report, to fall to the floor.

While he was down, The Flip Off star then allegedly “mounted his back” and “threw 3 more strikes with his fist to the head of [the victim] before getting up and walking away.” According to the report, the victim was left with a “purple and reddish” bruise under his right eye, as well as a half-inch cut on the bridge of his nose. 

Thus, El Moussa received the citation at the time because “physical force” was observed through surveillance footage, the victim was left with “visible injuries” on his face and the victim was seeking to press charges against the HGTV star, per the report. 

While both Tarek and Heather never addressed the incident publicly, the couple documented their Las Vegas trip in an Instagram Reel shared jointly to their accounts on Saturday, June 7.

The post featured multiple clips of the married HGTV stars enjoying their time together with their parents. Tarek’s dad could be seen standing in the background in a few clips, as well as in the group shot pictured at the end of the video, where he poses next to his son. 

The group appeared to be on the trip to support Tarek, who was speaking at an event in Las Vegas at the time. Tarek can be seen on stage addressing a crowd of people in multiple clips.
