In the spring of 2023, Jamie Foxx was mysteriously hospitalized for what has now been revealed as a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He spent 20 days in the hospital, has no memory of that time, and spent several months recovering. Thankfully, he’s OK now—he just released a stand-up special about his medical experience and recently turned 57.

To celebrate his 57th birthday, Foxx gathered friends and family at Mr. Chow in Los Angeles. Things did not go as planned. Accounts vary, but it seems members of the Jackass production crew (though none from the main cast) sent a drink to Foxx’s table. He accepted it but didn’t drink it, as he’s currently sober.

Shortly after, 12 guys from the Jackass crew began waving and laughing from their private room. Confused, Foxx’s table soon noticed a penis-shaped laser projected onto their table. Understandably, Foxx didn’t find it funny—especially while celebrating with family. “In front of my daughters?!” he reportedly said, taking issue with the prank.

Foxx and some friends confronted the crew in the VIP room, where tensions escalated. A Jackass crew member allegedly hit Foxx in the mouth with a thick glass, leaving him bleeding and needing stitches. According to a TMZ source, Foxx stood there with blood on his face and said, “It’s my birthday. What is wrong with you?”

An attorney for the Jackass crew disputes that version of events, though reports suggest they continued behaving aggressively toward Foxx’s friends after he left. Police were called, but Foxx was already gone. As of now, no arrests have been made.

Foxx later addressed the incident on Instagram, seemingly unbothered by the chaos. He wrote, “The devil is busy…but I’m too blessed to be stressed.” In a follow-up, he added, “The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that pray and check on me… when your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness… but they don’t know that you’re built for it… the lights have been shining bright.”

Did Foxx need to go up to the VIP room? Maybe not. But seriously—what the hell? A guy should be able to celebrate his birthday in peace without some actual jackasses projecting a laser penis onto his table. Just leave people alone!
