Jamie Foxx Shares Video With Fans Following Birthday Altercation

Jamie Foxx shared a video with his fans on Instagram mere days after he was assaulted during his birthday dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. The beloved actor was attacked Friday evening when a crew member from a “Jackass” production company threw a glass that hit Foxx in the mouth.

The 57-year-old actor needed stitches following the incident, and the restaurant staff reportedly called the police to handle the “Jackass” crew, as previously reported by The Blast.

Foxx later posted several videos on Instagram, including the latest video which features the actor just before he took the stage to film his Netflix comedy special, “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was….”

Foxx shared a video with his fans on Tuesday that featured that actor as he prepared to go on stage to perform his Netflix special, “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…”

The Instagram post was captioned, “The moment before Jamie Foxx took the stage. Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was… is now playing only on Netflix.” Foxx is also seen backstage as he said, “We made it, man. We’re alive, yeah. We’re here, man, Just a few minutes ago, I wouldn’t even, I couldn’t walk like this.”

“Nothing can make my day bad,” he continued as crew members cheered him on.

On April 11, 2023, Foxx suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke while he was in Atlanta to film his Netflix movie, “Back in Action.” The talented actor said during his comedy special that he had a severe headache and started to ask his friend for an aspirin when he blacked out. He kept the details of his medical emergency private until the comedy special dropped.

Foxx also revealed that his sister was told by a doctor at Piedmont Hospital, “If I don’t go into his head, we’re going to lose him.” The “Ray” actor also noted that he woke up 20 days later and couldn’t walk.

The comedian also shared that he was flown to Chicago to recover in a treatment facility where he learned to walk again.

The internet ran rampant with rumors during the former “In Living Color” star’s recovery, and Foxx made light of the stories during his Netflix special. He joked that while the city of Atlanta saved his life, the internet “tried to kill him.”

One rumor even claimed that a clone had been made of the movie star and that Foxx had passed away. While Foxx was out and about with his family during his recovery, they overheard people speculating that he was a clone.

However, Foxx used humor to get him through dark times and told himself, “If I can stay funny, I can stay alive.”

He also joked about Sean “Diddy” Combs during the special, who is currently awaiting trial in New York for sex trafficking. “I saw the tunnel. I didn’t see the light, ” he recalled, noting that it felt warm. “I thought I saw the devil. Or was it Puffy?”

As The Blast previously reported, Foxx was celebrating his birthday with his family and friends on Friday night in Beverly Hills when he was involved in an altercation.

The actor was having dinner when crew members from “Jackass” pointed a laser with a p-nis image onto the “Django” actor’s table, which upset Foxx because he was with his two daughters, one of which is underage.

When Foxx went to confront the crew members, he reportedly said, “In front of my daughters?”

One of the crew members allegedly threw a heavy glass at Foxx and hit him in the face. A bloody Foxx reportedly responded, “It’s my birthday. What is wrong with you?” After Foxx left, the crew was reportedly rowdy with the remainder of the guests at Foxx’s table, and the staff eventually called the police.

It’s unclear what prompted the “Jackass” crew to behave in such a manner, but restaurant staff told the outlet that the group sent Foxx a drink, which he accepted but did not consume because he is currently abstaining from alcohol. He confronted the crew after he noticed them laughing before seeing the laser pointer image on the table.

TMZ reported that Foxx needed stitches after the altercation, but no arrests were made. The “Blame It” singer later posted a message on Instagram that read, “The devil is busy…But I’m too blessed to be stressed.”
