Jamie Foxx sustained facial injuries during his 57th birthday celebration at Mr. Chow, a well-known restaurant in Beverly Hills, after being struck by a glass thrown at him.
According to Foxx’s representative, the incident required stitches for injuries to his mouth. “Someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” the spokesperson said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called, and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”
The altercation unfolded on Friday night, turning what should have been a joyous occasion into a chaotic scene. While the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed their involvement.
Officers responded to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon at around 10 p.m., but after assessing the situation, they concluded that the incident did not meet the criteria for such a classification.
In a public statement, the Beverly Hills Police Department clarified the nature of the encounter. “Instead, the incident involved a physical altercation between parties,” the department explained.
Officers conducted a preliminary investigation and documented the case as a battery, but no arrests were made. The department did not disclose any further details about the individuals involved or the events leading up to the altercation.
Efforts to gather more information from Mr. Chow about the incident were unsuccessful. The high-profile nature of the restaurant, known for attracting celebrities, has drawn additional attention to the situation, but the establishment has not commented on the events that disrupted the evening.
Jamie Foxx addressed the incident on Instagram Sunday morning, expressing gratitude to fans and well-wishers who reached out to him. Without going into detail about the altercation, Foxx posted a message reflecting his optimism and resilience:
