A man was stabbed in the neck during Jamie Foxx's Halloween festival in Thousand Oaks, California, on Saturday night, according to reports. The victim sustained a superficial wound and was treated on-site by paramedics, while a male suspect was reportedly arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office responded to the actor's mansion after the altercation, which occurred during Skvlk Fest, the annual Halloween-themed music festival organised by Foxx, 58, and his daughter Anelise, 18. Footage from the aftermath showed a crowded, chaotic scene as several people were escorted away in handcuffs while costumed attendees left.
Festival Rules and Incident Details
TMZ reported that a sign at the entrance warned attendees of the 'party and premise rules' and instructed them to 'respect the host'. The sign stated that alcohol and drugs were not permitted, costumes must not 'resemble or imitate' law enforcement or ICE agents, property must be respected, and appliances such as fridges must not be touched. It also said that 'no real or fake weapons' would be allowed inside, even as costume props.
It is unclear whether Foxx was home at the time of the incident. However, he later took to Instagram to repost guests' snaps and videos, writing that the night was 'fire'.
Skvlk Fest Postponed Due to Rain
Skvlk Fest, pronounced 'skulk', was originally scheduled for Halloween night but was postponed due to heavy rainfall in California and rescheduled to November 7. The event features live performances on outdoor stages, carnival-style rides, and food trucks, drawing thousands of guests. Performers this year included Offset, Tyga, Ty Doll $ign, and Leon Thomas.
This is not the first violent incident at one of Foxx's parties. Last year, a guest threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla while she performed, narrowly missing her. Foxx intervened and reprimanded the concertgoer, asking: 'Why would you do something like that?' He continued: 'Why would you throw something at the stage, man? Why? This is for free?'
Foxx's Personal Life
The Halloween event followed the birth of Foxx's third child, his first with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, 31. Sources confirmed the baby's arrival to People, which had confirmed Huckstepp's pregnancy in May. Foxx, who went public with his relationship with Huckstepp in August 2023, told Jimmy Kimmel last month: 'I got a baby on the way… still got it!'
Foxx is also a father to Anelise with ex Kristin Grannis and Corinne, 32, whom he shares with ex Connie Kline. He is said to have grown close to Huckstepp during his recovery from a serious medical emergency in April three years ago. It was reported in January 2025 that they had split, but later it was rumoured they had reconciled when they were pictured again.
Foxx's family initially remained tight-lipped on his 'medical complication', but it emerged in his December 2024 Netflix documentary that he suffered a life-threatening brain bleed that led to a stroke. He had been filming Back in Action in Atlanta, Georgia, at the time. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office and reps for Jamie Foxx have been contacted for comment.
