Dustin and her husband, Olympian Tom Daley, reportedly spent last summer at Freedom Bar in the Soho section of London, England. At some point, Dustin allegedly threw a drink at 32-year-old BBC presenter Teddy Edwardes. She presents The Big Proud Party Agency on the BBC3 network.
Teddy says that Dustin threw a drink on her head and she reciprocated by giving it “a little tap on the head”.
According Variety, Teddy actually posted about the incident on social media, reportedly writing: “Went out last night for a couple of quiet drinks with my friends, nothing crazy, and bumped into Tom Daley and his husband in Soho who…pretty much unprovoked. . . He spilled a whole drink all over me at Freedom. He didn’t have a drink to drink so I chose violence, it wasn’t that violent, he got a little hit to the back of the head.”
In September 2022, Dustin revealed that he had suffered a “serious” head injury and fans believe this is the incident he is referring to.
Dustin’s rep responded to all of this, saying: “Mr. Black was shocked and saddened to learn that after the other person involved in this unfortunate incident took responsibility and expressed remorse for being punched in the back of his Mr Black’s head which left him with a life changing concussion – the decision has been made to investigate the matter of a spilled drink in a court of law Mr Black will of course respect the process and in the meantime, he will continue to focus on being a loving father and husband.”
