Jamie Foxx’s 57th birthday celebration took a shocking and violent turn after an unexpected glass-throwing incident left him injured while dining at a Los Angeles restaurant. The Oscar-winning actor and comedian was struck in the mouth when, according to reports, someone from another table threw a glass during what appeared to be a heated dispute. Foxx required stitches for the injury but is now recovering.
Foxx addressed the unsettling event on Instagram with a message of resilience and positivity, sharing, “The devil is busy … but I’m too blessed to be stressed.” Instead of focusing on the attack, he chose to highlight his strength, elaborating, “When your light is shining bright, they try to bring you darkness, but they don’t know that you’re built for it.” Fans were quick to rally around him, praising his ability to stay positive in the face of adversity.
The incident reportedly occurred at the high-end Los Angeles restaurant Mr. Chow, a popular celebrity dining spot. According to Foxx’s spokesperson via Page Six, “someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth.” The situation escalated quickly, prompting police involvement.

Authorities deemed the original claim of assault “unfounded,” and no arrests were made. While the investigation remains ongoing, no further details have been released.
Foxx used the moment to thank its supporters for their ongoing encouragement and took the opportunity to celebrate the success of its latest project. The actor noted his pride in his Netflix comedy special What Had Happened Was, now the number-one show on the platform. Despite the unexpected injury, Foxx expressed gratitude to his fans for helping the special reach such significant heights.
The actor’s calm and composed response to the incident drew admiration from his followers, who flooded his social media posts with positive messages and well wishes for a speedy recovery.
