Eddie Hall has posted the 'full video' after a shocking clip went viral on social media.
The retired strongman was filmed last night (5 May) as he appeared to tell a driver he'll 'rip their f***ing head off'.
He has now taken to YouTube with 'the truth' as the caption reads: "DON'T VISIT MY HOUSE!!! | Stalkers CONFRONTED! ft. EDDIE HALL."
The viral video from last night seemed to show Eddie confronting a driver parked nearby to his home in North Staffordshire.

A person in a vehicle ahead says: "He's just scared my daughter, Eddie Hall. Did you just see that?"
And as the cars start to make a move, 'The Beast' seems to 'chase' them and shouts: "Get out. Get out, you f**king p**ck. I'll rip your f**king head off.
"All of you. Get out and I'll f**king rip all your heads off, you p**ck."
Posting a lengthy YouTube video today to 'defend' himself, Eddie says the initial video paints him 'as a bad guy who smashes cars up, threatens people and upsets kids' as he asks people to look at both sides of the story.
"Three blacked out cars circled my kids home last night at 9pm revving engines, beeping horns, looking into the property and wouldn’t leave when asked to do so… things escalated and here you’re seeing the last 30 seconds of a total of an 18 minute harassment of my kids peaceful place of sanctuary," he wrote on Instagram.
"I ask you to watch the full video on my YouTube channel and tell me you wouldn’t have done the same?!"
Eddie says they were outside of his home for 'a total of 10 minutes' before his wife, Alex, asked them to move 'politely' and then for another 'seven minutes' before he then went out.
He also added that he didn't know 'kids were involved' until the 'last 30 seconds' due to blacked out windows.
Eddie then shared CCTV to 'prove' there was a much longer interaction than what was shown, as he explained he was 'protecting his family'.

Eddie insists he 'did not touch the guy' as he faces backlash from the clip.
"You know, people are sticking up for me, but there's always those that don't understand the situation, that won't read my response, that won't read the context to the video, they'll just see Eddie Hall threatening to rip people's heads off for innocently sitting outside the house with with your kids," he said.
"That's how you put it. And it just paints me as an ogre. And it's not fair. You people are the ogres. You people need to learn the lesson from this, not me. Leave my family alone."
As those who filmed the video claim they called the police, the force are now appealing for witnesses to the incident.
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson told LADbible: “We were called to an address on Seabridge Lane in Newcastle-under-Lyme at 8.55pm on Monday (5 May) following reports of an assault.
“A man approached a car that was parked nearby and shouted at the driver. It is reported that the man tried to open the door of the car when it started to drive away.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to get in touch by calling 101 or using Live Chat on our website, quoting incident 678 of 5 May.”
LADbible Group has contacted Eddie Hall's reps for comment.
