Marinkovic: "Slap your mom" line sparks Elita 10 brawl

Aneli Ahmic and Ivan Marinkovic came to blows on September 13 in Elita 10, during the “Nominations” episode. The clash broke out at the estate in Simanovci and grew so heated that producers cut the broadcast, halting the live feed on the spot, according to Telegraf and Mondo.

The incident happened while the contestants were seated at the black table, in the middle of the reality show’s landmark tenth season. When his turn came to speak, Marinkovic chose to provoke Aneli by claiming she had once cheated on him. “That night she was kissing Teodora Delic at the bar,” he said in front of all the housemates. Aneli, visibly shaken, shot up from her seat. “With Teodora?! Don’t make me slap you right now,” she shouted, paying no mind to the cameras or the other contestants at the table.

The threat of a slap was only the start. Within moments the argument turned from infidelity to insults aimed at each other’s families, on both sides. “Slap your own mother,” Marinkovic yelled, cursing at her mother. Aneli fired back the same way: “Slap yours.” Marinkovic had an answer ready too: “I’ll slap your father.”

After that exchange, the shouting turned physical. Aneli got up and lunged at Marinkovic, striking him first, then grabbing him by the throat and choking him while clawing scratches into his neck with her nails. Marinkovic responded by pulling Aneli’s hair and extensions, and the White House descended into chaos. The host and the production crew reacted at once, and security rushed in to pull Aneli and Marinkovic apart while the other contestants tried to make sense of what had just happened.

The fight forced producers to cut the “Nominations” episode short. Instead of watching the contestants make their case and vote, viewers saw the broadcast stopped mid-taping, and by both outlets’ accounts, the White House was in complete chaos. Telegraf reports that the incident also postponed the planned vote between Aneli Ahmic and Filip Djukic, which was meant to decide which of the two would be sent to do the group’s errands. As of publication, producers had not said whether Aneli and Marinkovic would face any penalty or disciplinary action over the physical confrontation, nor when the postponed vote would be held.

This is not the first time Aneli Ahmic has found herself at the center of attention since joining Elita’s milestone tenth season. We previously reported that she admitted to contact with Car Vasilije Jankovic ten days before she entered the reality house. Now, instead of a story about a past romance, the spotlight is on a physical altercation with a housemate under the same roof, the first this season to force the broadcast off the air entirely.

Neither contestant has commented on the fight outside the show itself, whether on Instagram or in any other statement to the media. Elita’s production has likewise issued no official word on whether, or when, the vote between Aneli and Filip will be rescheduled, nor whether footage of the full confrontation will be shown to viewers in a future episode. Until then, the public knows only what the production cameras captured before the signal was cut.
