A man was stabbed with a “deadly weapon” at Jamie Foxx’s annual Halloween party over the weekend. The incident took place at the actor’s mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, where his daughter Anelise Bishop, 18, helps organise the yearly bash.
Paramedics treated the stabbed man at the property for a superficial wound, and police were also called, according to TMZ. A male suspect was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Footage from outside the party showed multiple people in handcuffs while hundreds of attendees were directed off the premises.
Party rules and incident details
A photograph from the scene showed a sign announcing the fancy dress party had a rule of “No Real or Fake Weapons” allowed. It is not known whether Foxx, who recently welcomed his third child, was at the property at the time of the incident.
Last year’s Halloween party was also marred by an incident, with the 58-year-old star stepping in after a reveller threw a bottle at GloRilla during the rapper’s performance. In video footage circulating online, Foxx yelled: “Why would you do something like that? Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free.” GloRilla eventually continued her song and finished her set.
Previous incidents and family involvement
In December 2024, Foxx needed stitches after being hit in the face by a bottle during his birthday dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, California. A spokesperson for the Ray actor said at the time: “Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth. He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”
The Back in Action star later praised Anelise’s work in pulling together the event, which also featured performances from the likes of Tyga and Leon Thomas. He wrote on Instagram: “Yoooooooo the night was epic!!!! @skvlkfest festival was poppin!!! The best energy on the planet!!! The kids make it iconic!!! @anelisefoxx you have created something magical!!! don’t miss out next year.”
