Jamie Foxx, the Academy Award-winning actor and comedian, has responded to reports of a physical altercation that allegedly took place at Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills on Friday, December 13. While he neither confirmed nor denied the incident, Foxx took to Instagram the following day to share a cryptic yet uplifting message, reflecting on the challenges he faces while maintaining his resilience.
“The devil is busy… but I’m too blessed to be stressed,” Foxx wrote in a post shared on Saturday, December 14.
Alleged Incident on Foxx’s 57th Birthday
According to reports from TMZ, the altercation began when Foxx, celebrating his 57th birthday with his family, asked patrons at a nearby table to refrain from loudly shouting vulgarities. This request allegedly escalated when someone at the other table threw a glass that struck Foxx in the mouth, requiring stitches.
The incident prompted a police response at 10 p.m., but by the time authorities arrived, Foxx had reportedly left the scene. Although his name was listed for follow-up by police, further details remain unclear.
Foxx Responds with Positivity
Rather than focus on the alleged altercation, Foxx used his Instagram platform to highlight his gratitude and ongoing projects.
“The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that pray and check on me… when your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness … but they don’t know that you’re built for it,” Foxx wrote.
He went on to celebrate the success of his new Netflix comedy special, What Had Happened Was, which recently debuted at number one on the platform.
“The lights have been shining bright… and huge thank yous to everyone that have watched and been inspired by What Had Happened Was… number 1 on @netflix. If you haven’t checked it out, please go check it out—it’s from my heart and my soul.”
Context Amid Health Challenges
The alleged altercation comes shortly after Foxx revealed personal details about his health struggles during the premiere of his Netflix special. The actor disclosed that he suffered a serious brain bleed and stroke last year, a health scare that kept him out of the public eye for months. Despite these challenges, Foxx has made a remarkable recovery and returned to work, with his latest projects drawing praise from fans and critics alike.
What’s Next for Jamie Foxx?
While the incident at Mr. Chow’s remains under investigation, Foxx’s Instagram post suggests he is focusing on his career and maintaining his positive outlook. His comedy special What Had Happened Was continues to gain traction on Netflix, and Foxx remains a beloved figure in Hollywood for his versatility and resilience.
