Jamie Foxx ‘hit’ in his mouth by flying glass, had to get stitches after birthday dinner

Jamie Foxx was involved in an altercation at the Los Angeles hotspot Mr. Chow during his birthday celebration Friday night.

“Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” a spokesperson for Foxx told Page Six Saturday.

“He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”

TMZ was the first to report on the incident. Police sources told the outlet that officers responded to a call about a fight inside the Beverly Hills, Calif. restaurant at around 10 p.m.

They said Foxx, 57, was listed on the assault report but that he left the scene before police arrived.

Page Six reached out to Mr. Chow as well as the Beverly Hills public information manager for comment via phone and email.

Foxx was photographed and filmed signing autographs outside of Mr. Chow Tuesday night and spoke about how grateful he was to be alive to see another birthday following the near-death health scare he experienced in 2023.

“It’s beautiful because I didn’t know if I would be here to celebrate it,” he told photographers in a video post on X.

Foxx also spoke about returning to the stage for his new Netflix special, “What Happened Was,” which premiered Tuesday and speaking about his health crisis.

“It’s amazing, man, to have gone through something so crazy, but to get back on, make some chuckles and let other people know what’s up, was amazing,” he smiled.

The Academy Award winner got emotional as he revealed that a “brain bleed that … led to a stroke” is what caused him to be hospitalized for weeks beginning in April 2023.

He also said he doesn’t remember 20 days of his time in the hospital.

Ultimately, the surgeon never located where the brain bleed began but he was able to make a full recovery.

“We still don’t know exactly what happened to me,” he said in the special, per Today.

“All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer, because I needed every prayer.”
