Jacob Elordi found himself amid controversy as reports emerged of an alleged confrontation with a KIIS FM staffer at Clovelly Hotel.

The reported incident occurred outside Sydney's Clovelly Hotel in the eastern suburbs around 3:30 pm last Saturday.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Joshua Fox, a 32-year-old employee of KIIS FM radio, approached the 26-year-old actor for a comment, leading to an alleged argument.

The New South Wales Police have initiated an investigation following an alleged assault involving Elordi and a 32-year-old. 

Authorities have reportedly obtained CCTV footage related to the incident. As of now, Mr. Fox has not provided an official statement on the matter.

“The man did not sustain any injuries,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added, “Inquiries into the incident is continuing.”

Elordi, known for his recent role in the hit movie Saltburn, had been at the hotel, socializing for an extended period, before the reported incident occurred.
