Tarek\u2019s wife, Heather Rae El Moussa<\/strong>, also chimed in<\/a> on the subject, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re on TV so everything is shown a lot more, but you know, fights happen unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Tarek got into a confrontation at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort, where he allegedly \u201ccharged\u201d and \u201cshoved\u201d a man, according to the police report obtained by Us Weekly<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the reality TV personality claimed that the man \u201chit his dad on the back with his hand,\u201d so he \u201cgot out of his chair to confront [him] to protect his dad due to him having back problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time, Tarek was not arrested and he received a battery citation instead.<\/p>\n

In August, Us Weekly<\/em> reported a judge dismissed the misdemeanor battery charge as Tarek went through \u201cimpulse control counseling\u201d and stayed \u201cout of trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
