An unexpected incident at Jamie Foxx’s birthday celebration in Beverly Hills led to the actor needing medical attention. During his 57th birthday dinner at Mr. Chow, Foxx was struck in the mouth by a glass thrown by an individual from another table.
In a distressing turn of events, Jamie Foxx was assaulted with a glass during his birthday gathering, resulting in injuries requiring stitches, Page Six reported.
The altercation broke out on a Friday night. Jamie Foxx was with his family and friends, celebrating another year of life after overcoming a severe health scare in 2023. It was reported that an aggressive interaction began with guests at another table who were being loud and offensive.
A spokesperson for Jamie Foxx relayed to Page Six that the conflict escalated quickly. "Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth," the spokesperson said, describing the assault that marred the festive occasion.
After the glass struck him, Jamie Foxx required immediate medical care. "He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement's hands," added the spokesperson.
The Beverly Hills Police Department responded to an assault call from Mr. Chow at 10:06 p.m. Although they arrived promptly, Jamie Foxx had already left the scene by the time officers reached the restaurant. The police began gathering evidence and statements, classifying the report initially as battery.
Despite swift police intervention, no arrests were made at the scene. The investigation remained active, with authorities looking into the details of the altercation and identifying the individuals involved. The nature of the physical altercation was still being determined.
It was revealed that during the dinner, customers at the other table had grown increasingly disruptive, leading to Foxx requesting that they leave him and his family in peace. In response, one of the customers allegedly threw the glass at Foxx, striking him near the mouth, which necessitated stitches.
Earlier in the year, Jamie had publicly shared his gratitude for recovering from a serious health issue. At the Governors Awards in 2024, he discussed his journey. "It's amazing, man, to have gone through something so crazy, but to get back on, make some chuckles, and let other people know what's up, was amazing," he stated.
The incident at his birthday dinner thus came as a shock, contrasting sharply with the celebratory and reflective mood he had been experiencing. Jamie’s reflection on his recent past, including his survival of a life-threatening brain bleed leading to a stroke, was poignant. "It’s beautiful because I didn’t know if I would be here to celebrate it,” he had said about his birthday.
This resilience was echoed in Jamie’s words during his Netflix special, where he touched upon his health struggles. "We still don’t know exactly what happened to me," he mentioned. "All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer because I needed every prayer."
The entertainment community and fans have shown overwhelming support for Jamie Foxx in the aftermath of the incident. Messages of speedy recovery and condemnation of the violence flooded social media, reflecting the shock and concern of his supporters.
Meanwhile, the Beverly Hills Police continue to investigate the incident, piecing together witness accounts and security footage. The details surrounding the altercation remain under investigation, with law enforcement working diligently to resolve the open questions surrounding the events of that night.
Jamie Foxx has not made further public comments since the incident but is reportedly focusing on recovery and spending time with loved ones. The outcome of this investigation is awaited by many who hope for justice and a peaceful resolution to this unsettling event.
