Jamie Foxx’s 57th birthday dinner at Mr. Chow’s took an unexpected turn when an altercation reportedly broke out with members of Dickhouse Productions, the team behind “Jackass.” Reports say the incident was sparked by a laser pointer projecting an obscene image at Foxx’s VIP table. The actor, celebrating with his daughters and 50 guests, confronted the group, reportedly saying, “In front of my daughters?” after declining a drink they had sent over.
The situation escalated when Foxx and friends approached the table, leading to a glass being thrown at his face, requiring stitches. Dickhouse Productions attorney Bryan Freedman denied the allegations, calling them “totally inaccurate.” Foxx responded subtly on Instagram, writing, “The devil is busy… but I’m too blessed to be stressed.” Authorities are investigating as Foxx recovers from the incident.
