Eddie Hall was filmed confronting two motorists who turned up outside his house in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Eddie Hall has issued a statement following the viral circulation of a disturbing video in which he threatens a driver, stating he would ‘rip their f**king head off.’
In the video posted on X, the former strongman is addressing a driver who is parked along the roadside.
It seems that two drivers were present outside his residence in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the footage captures the 37-year-old conversing with the individuals in one of the vehicles.
A witness from the other vehicle stated, “He has frightened my daughter, Eddie Hall. Did you observe that?”
As the other vehicle attempts to flee, Hall pursues them while yelling: “Exit the vehicle. Exit the vehicle, you despicable individual. I will tear your head off.”
“All of you. Get out and I’ll f**king rip all your heads off, you p**ck.”
Responding to the viral altercation, Eddie Hall took to Facebook to present his side of the story, asserting that the widely shared video grossly misrepresents the full scope of the encounter.
According to Hall, the clip circulating online shows a mere 30 seconds of what was, in truth, a tense 25-minute ordeal. Offering his version of events, he wrote:
“9pm at night and you and two other cars pull up beeping their horns outside the house… You woke my young children up and they became very scared! You were asked very politely to leave after waiting outside my house for 15 minutes…”
He went on to explain that the situation escalated not because of a momentary flare-up, but due to prolonged provocation.
“You continued to wait outside my house scaring my kids to death,” Hall added, “so here I am asking you again to leave—and you filmed the last 30 seconds of our interaction when you’ve been outside the property for a total of 25 minutes.”
His post seems aimed at reframing public perception, underscoring that his outburst was not without cause, but the result of escalating tension and concern for his family’s well-being.
Eddie Hall has elaborated further on the viral confrontation, explaining his reaction after two motorists appeared outside his home in Newcastle-under-Lyme—an incident captured and widely shared on social media platform X.
Hall claimed the situation took a turn when he politely requested the individuals to leave, only to allegedly be threatened by one of them, who, according to Hall, said they would “knock him out.” That, he explained, was the moment his anger boiled over.
“If you think harassing my house and waking my kids up at 9pm at night is acceptable, then you’re not reasonable human beings,” Hall wrote.
He continued by drawing a line between fame and personal boundaries:
“We all see red when it comes to protecting our families, especially our young children. My home is not some kind of public landmark, and I am not public property to be used as a photo backdrop at 9pm.”
Closing his statement with a note of empathy, Hall added, “I am deeply sorry for upsetting your children!!”
His message attempts to strike a balance—acknowledging his reaction while defending the instinct that provoked it: the primal urge to shield his family from what he viewed as deliberate intrusion.

In a follow-up statement, Eddie Hall—known to fans as ‘The Beast’—offered a more personal apology, clarifying the intensity of the moment and expressing remorse over the incident’s impact on children involved.
“Again, I’m sorry I upset your kids,” Hall wrote. “To be honest, I didn’t know there were children in the car until you mentioned it during the final 30 seconds. All your windows were blacked out. By then, I’d had enough of going back and forth with you. Then you told me you were ‘going to knock me out,’ and I lost it. I apologise for that!”
Hall emphasized that distressing the children was the one part of the incident he regretted instantly, though he pointed out that his own children were frightened too—also a consequence of the confrontation.
