Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx addressed a violent incident that occurred during his birthday celebration at Beverly Hills’ Mr. Chow restaurant on Friday night. According to his representative, Foxx required stitches after being struck in the mouth by a glass thrown from another table.
The confrontation reportedly began when Foxx requested that disruptive customers at another table moderate their behavior, citing the presence of his family. Law enforcement was called to the upscale restaurant around 10 PM, though Foxx had departed by the time they arrived. Police are continuing their investigation with the actor’s expected cooperation.
Breaking his silence on Sunday morning, Foxx posted a message on Instagram, stating “The devil is busy… but I’m too blessed to be stressed.” He expanded on this sentiment in the caption, emphasizing his resilience: “The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… when your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness… but they don’t know that you’re built for it.”
The incident comes months after Foxx’s serious health crisis in April 2023, which he recently detailed in his Netflix special “What Had Happened Was.” In the special, Foxx revealed he suffered a stroke and brain bleed that left him temporarily unable to walk. According to medical professionals at Piedmont Hospital, while full recovery was possible, they warned it would be “the worst year of his life.”
The actor took the opportunity in his Instagram post to thank supporters and promote his Netflix special, which has garnered emotional responses from viewers. Fans flooded the comments section with messages of support and appreciation for his candid sharing of his medical journey.
This latest incident adds another chapter to what has been a challenging period for the “Ray” and “Dreamgirls” star, though his response suggests he remains resilient in the face of adversity.
