Jamie Foxx Injured During Birthday Dinner Confrontation
Jamie Foxx’s 57th birthday celebration took an unexpected turn on Tuesday, December 10, when an altercation erupted at Mr. Chow, a popular Los Angeles hotspot for celebrities. According to TMZ, the actor and comedian was dining with family when a nearby group began acting disruptive and vulgar. Foxx reportedly asked the group to tone it down, given his family’s presence, but tensions escalated quickly.
Witnesses claim that instead of de-escalating, someone from the group hurled a glass at Foxx, striking him in the face. Sources revealed that law enforcement arrived shortly after the incident, but Foxx and his family had already left the scene.
The following day, Foxx’s representative issued a statement to TMZ: “Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth. He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called, and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”
Foxx’s Resilience Shines Through in Netflix Special
Despite the incident, Foxx has plenty to celebrate, including the release of his Netflix stand-up special, What Had Happened Was. The heartfelt show delves into Foxx’s personal journey, including his recent health challenges. The actor revealed that he suffered a stroke caused by a brain bleed, a condition he has been battling for over a year.
Foxx first spoke about his health scare during a gathering with friends in July, and a video of the emotional conversation later circulated on social media. He recounted how a seemingly ordinary headache in April 2023 led to a harrowing medical ordeal.
“On April 11, I had a bad headache and asked my boy for an Advil,” Foxx shared. “[Next thing I knew], I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.” He explained how his sister and daughter rushed him to a doctor in Atlanta, where it became clear something was seriously wrong.
While Foxx opted not to elaborate further, his resilience and determination to share his story have inspired fans worldwide.
