Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx suffered an injury when a glass was thrown and hit him in the mouth, his rep confirmed amid reports of an altercation at a Beverly Hills restaurant.
“Someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” Foxx's spokesperson said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “He needed stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in the hands of the police.”
The incident happened at Mr Chow's home shortly after 10pm on Friday. According to the Beverly Hills Police Department, officers initially responded to a report of a “possible assault with a deadly weapon,” but the claim turned out to be unfounded.
“Instead, it involved a physical altercation between the parties,” the police department said. “The BHPD conducted a preliminary investigation and documented the battery. No arrests have been made.”
Taking to Instagram on Sunday morning, Foxx thanked those who reached out, apparently referencing the incident. “The devil is busy… but I am too blessed to be stressed,” he wrote.
The Academy Award-winning actor, who rose to fame in 2004 as Ray Charles in Ray, celebrated his 57th birthday on Friday.
Jamie Foxx has revealed facts about his six-month absence from the spotlight due to a health emergency in April 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
At the time, Foxx was hospitalized due to an undisclosed medical complication, and few details have been shared since then to explain what happened to the Oscar-winning actor.
Foxx's Netflix comedy special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…, has a bigger bombshell than its title suggests. (He even received a Golden Globe nomination for the special in early 2025.) Foxx tells what happened to him, as far back as he can remember, using fun, music and grim truths to get honest about his treatment and rehabilitation process.
