A physical altercation involving actor/musician Jamie Foxx at Beverly Hills restaurant Mr. Chow has prompted a Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) investigation. The altercation reportedly happened at Foxx’s birthday celebration, during which he was struck by a drinking glass thrown by someone seated at another table.
According to the BHPD, officers responded to a report of a possible assault with a deadly weapon at the restaurant around 10 p.m. on Dec. 13. Lieutenant Andrew Myers of the BHPD told the Courier, “During the initial investigation there was insufficient information to establish an aggravated assault occurred. Later, investigators determined that during the altercation Foxx was struck with a drinking glass resulting in injury. The report was later upgraded to an aggravated assault.”
Myers said that the department is interviewing witnesses and is “trying to determine who is involved, but we don’t know who they work for.”
The Oscar-winning Foxx turned 57 on Dec. 13. Foxx recently revealed that a stroke had led to his hospitalization in April 2023. “Someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” a spokesperson for the actor 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 Courier spoke to one person who said they witnessed the event. The witness claims that the altercation was between Foxx’s party and crew members of Dickhouse Productions, the production company best known for producing “Jackass” as well as its numerous spinoffs. As of press time, the production company has not responded to the Courier’s attempts for comment.
