Bodybuilding Instagram star Yakiboy is released from prison after appearing in court with his self-described ‘Lamborghini’ body looking shrunken after two months behind bars.
The NSW High Court heard that Hossein Balapour, who has been in jail since his arrest over a wild street brawl, is being provoked by people calling him ‘a dog’, a ‘traitor’ and muttering to him in Coles.
But a judge issued the Versace-loving gym junkie a dire warning not to “get out of hand” and suggested his previous alleged violent behavior may have been fueled by steroid use.
Judge Richard Weinstein SC noted that Balapour had previously been convicted of possession of a prescribed banned substance and said ‘there was probably steroid use somewhere’.
Judge Weinstein said he wanted “significant abstinence terms” for Balapour.
During a lengthy bail application, with Balapour appearing via Parklea Maximum Correctional Centre’s AVL, the 29-year-old appeared to have lost his fitness of being a defined powerhouse who made money on Instagram and OnlyFans.
During cross-examination, Balapour’s wife testified about the abuse that her husband, an Iranian refugee, suffered online and in person.

Balapour also has a new job, working for the Fitness Plus gym at Crows Nest along with his other pursuits as an influencer on Instagram and Only Fans
She said this included abuse from “extremely hostile” Iranian Australians who do not share Balapour’s support for the freedom movement in Iran.
“He gets a lot of attention all the time,” Ms Balapour said. “People say nasty things under their breath.”
Ms Balapour explained that her husband had been called a ‘traitor’ in Farsi by Iranians, ‘a dog’ in a Persian restaurant and people were muttering to him ‘in the aisle’ at Coles in the inner Sydney suburb of Waterloo.
She said that before going to jail, Balapour had made enough money by showing off his physique online to pay rent and support their family, in addition to her shift work.
But she couldn’t say exactly how much he would earn each month when he returns to OnlyFans after his release from prison.
His attorney Rebekah Rodger said OnlyFans would only be in addition to the one job he was offered upon release.

Balapour has been hired by Plus Fitness, at Crows Nest as a sales representative and is expected to provide face-to-face training to customers while out on bail for three alleged offenses
Balapour has been hired by Plus Fitness as a representative for one of its gyms. He is expected to undergo personal training for clients while on bail for three alleged felonies.
Despite the Crown Attorney’s objections that Balapou would congregate with men in the gym and lose his temper, Judge Weinstein said: “He is who he is, his workplace is probably a gym.
“I am really concerned if the allegations are true, there is a major problem with violence, anger and if someone accepts being abused by rival Iranian groups because of his political views and others, he will have to deal with that without flogging. out.
“I am concerned about the risks of (Balapour) being alone in community with other persons and getting himself into violent altercations.
“So (I’m) bailing on some very prescriptive terms to limit risk.”
Balapour was out on bail for two previous alleged incidents when in January he “allegedly punched (a man) and then used an unknown weapon and struck him with great force, striking him in the left thigh and upper left arm,” Judge Weinstein said.
The incident was filmed on her phone by his wife, it is said.
The two previous incidents include an alleged assault last August in which he was charged with assault with actual bodily harm, stalking and harassment, and possession of property in custody.
Judge Weinstein said Balapour had been to a Persian restaurant for his birthday when he became “furious” at a man waiting to pick up takeout and allegedly punched him in the face, with police later reportedly paying $31,000 in Balapour’s would be detained.
In October last year, Balapour allegedly punched a man with his closed fist at a festival at Sydney’s showgrounds.
The court heard that all cases would be heard at the level of local courts later this year.
Justice Weinstein imposed conditions on Balapour for house arrest, excluding medical visits to the family, legal consultations and attendance at work.
He warned Balapour of the ‘very serious consequences’ if he broke the terms, to which the trainer replied: ‘sure, thanks’.
