Adding that “no arrests were made.”
Although the police report did not name Foxx, a representative for the actor confirmed that he was injured during the incident.
Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth.
The spokesperson said
He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called, and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.
Foxx attended the celebration with his daughters, Corinne Foxxand Anelise Bishop, as well as his ex, Kristen Grannis. While the actor has not directly addressed the incident, he took to social media to assure fans of his recovery and express gratitude for their support.
The devil is busy, but I’m too blessed to be stressed.
Foxx wrote on his Instagram Stories
The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that pray and check on me. When your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness… but they don’t know that you’re built for it… the lights have been shining bright.
He later shared the same sentiment on his main Instagram page, adding
The altercation comes as Foxx continues to make his return to the spotlight. Recently, he premiered his Netflix stand-up special, What Had Happened Was, where he opened up about the 2023 medical emergency that led to a lengthy hospitalization.
During the special, Foxx disclosed that he had suffered a brain bleed and subsequent stroke, which left him temporarily unable to walk and caused a significant loss of memory.
When I woke up, I found myself in a wheelchair, I couldn’t walk. In a wheelchair. And I was like, ‘What the f—, why am I in a wheelchair?‘
Foxx revealed in the special
Foxx spent months recovering and undergoing physical rehabilitation before re-emerging publicly.
I just didn’t want you to see me like that. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show. I just didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.
Reflecting on his decision to maintain privacy during his recovery, he shared
Foxx’s resilience continues to inspire fans as he balances a return to his professional life with the challenges of his personal recovery.
