2 min readJamie Foxx is staying positive and focused on recovery after being injured in a physical altercation at his birthday dinner in Beverly Hills. The Oscar-winning actor, who was celebrating at Mr. Chow restaurant, was hit in the mouth by a glass thrown from another table. His spokesperson confirmed that Foxx required stitches and is recovering from the injury. The incident has been handed over to law enforcement, with the Beverly Hills Police Department confirming they responded to a report of a possible assault with a deadly weapon at the restaurant, though they did not specifically mention Foxx by name.
Despite the unsettling situation, Foxx maintained an upbeat attitude, taking to social media to share his thoughts. On Sunday, he posted a message that read, “The devil is busy…but I’m too blessed to be stressed.” He followed this with a reflection on how negativity and challenges often arise when one’s success shines bright. Foxx shared, “The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that prayed and checked 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.”
Foxx also took a moment to thank his supporters and fans, especially those who have watched and been inspired by his new Netflix stand-up special, “What Had Happened Was.” He expressed that the special was deeply personal, describing it as “from my heart and my soul.” The special, which reflects on significant events in Foxx’s life, includes his first public acknowledgment of a serious health scare he experienced earlier in 2023.
