In an unexpected turn of events, Jamie Foxx took to Instagram to connect with his fans just days after a rather unpleasant birthday celebration in Beverly Hills. This wasn’t your average birthday dinner—it turned dramatic when the actor faced an assault that left him needing stitches.
Foxx, 57, was celebrating his special day at the well-known Mr. Chow restaurant when things took a nasty turn. During the evening, a member from a ‘Jackass’ production crew hurled a glass that struck Foxx in the mouth, causing injury. As a result, the staff at Mr. Chow called the authorities to manage the raucous crew, known for their wild antics.
Shortly after the incident, Foxx decided to share several videos on Instagram. In these clips, he appeared just moments before stepping onto the stage for his Netflix comedy special, ‘Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…’, showcasing his enduring spirit despite recent challenges. The post, captioned, ‘The moment before Jamie Foxx took the stage…’, showed him surrounded by supportive crew members. He expressed, ‘We made it, man. We’re alive, yeah.’
Foxx’s resilience has been tested before. Back in April 2023, he experienced a severe medical emergency while filming another Netflix project, ‘Back in Action,’ in Atlanta. This incident involved a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke, leaving him unconscious for 20 days. The actor later shared during his comedy special that, although rumors about his condition swirled online—some suggesting he had been cloned—his humorous spirit remained intact. He jested, ‘If I can stay funny, I can stay alive.’
During his special, he even made light of these bizarre internet rumors, mentioning his friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the process. Foxx humorously recounted, “I thought I saw the devil. Or was it Puffy?” His playful take on such grim matters shows his strength in adversity.
The altercation at his birthday dinner was sparked when the ‘Jackass’ crew projected an inappropriate image onto his table, where he sat with his daughters, one of whom is a minor. Foxx’s protective nature surfaced as he confronted the crew, questioning, ‘In front of my daughters?’ This confrontation escalated when the glass was thrown, leaving Foxx bleeding and questioning the crew’s behavior on his birthday night.
Despite the chaos, no arrests were made. The aftermath saw Foxx post a message on Instagram reassuring fans and himself with ‘The devil is busy…But I’m too blessed to be stressed.’
Jamie Foxx’s recent experiences highlight not only the unpredictability of public life but also his undeterred spirit. Whether facing physical altercations or battling health challenges, Foxx continues to engage with his audience through humor and resilience—an approach that has endeared him to fans worldwide.
