Jamie Foxx was struck in the mouth with a glass during a ‘physical altercation’ at his birthday party. The 57-year-old American actor and comedian is now recovering after the incident at Mr Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. A representative for the star confirmed he ‘had to get stitches’, telling NBC News that someone at another table ‘threw a glass that hit him in the mouth’.

The matter is now ‘in law enforcement’s hands’. On Friday, shortly after 10pm local time, Beverly Hills Police Department received a call notifying them of a ‘possible assault with a deadly weapon’. Cops arrived at the restaurant and concluded that the report was ‘unfounded’.
Instead, they determined that the altercation was ‘between parties’ and after conducting a preliminary investigation, they filed a report ‘documenting the battery’. No arrests have been made. BHPD’s press release does not name Jamie, but police sources have confirmed to TMZ that he was involved.

An onlooker also told the outlet that they witnessed customers at another table ‘being rude and vulgar to Jamie’. He reportedly ‘asked them to stop, since his family was present’, which is when a fellow diner allegedly launched a glass at his face.
Jamie had previously been photographed arriving at the establishment with his daughters Corinne and Anelise, and his ex-partner Kristin Grannis. Following the incident, Jamie took to social media with somewhat of a cryptic message. While he didn’t address the matter explicitly, he wrote: ‘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… the lights have been shining bright…’.
