“@skvlkfest is on Fuego,” Jamie Foxx posted on social media after a stabbing disrupted his annual Halloween party in Thousand Oaks, California, as reported.
A man suffered a superficial stab wound to the neck at the sprawling mansion during the Saturday night event, according to TMZ. Paramedics and police responded to the scene, where medical personnel treated the victim. Officers arrested a male suspect on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Footage from the property showed officers directing hundreds of costumed attendees off the premises while multiple individuals sat in handcuffs, Yahoo reported. Comic Book Resources noted that an image from the event displayed a sign outlining a strict No Real or Fake Weapons
rule. It remains unclear what object was used in the attack.
The annual event, known as SKVLK Fest, is organized by the actor’s 18-year-old daughter, Anelise Foxx, Yahoo reported. While the party took place at his home, outlets including CBR and Yahoo stated that it is currently unclear whether Jamie Foxx was on the premises at the time. Foxx recently returned to filming projects such as the Amazon MGM Studios thriller Deadlocked in Australia, according to CBR.

Foxx suffered a medical emergency in 2023 that involved a brain bleed triggering a stroke and led to a recovery where he woke up 20 days after surgery, as detailed in his Netflix special Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was . . . and reported by the sources.
He subsequently completed work on the Netflix film Back in Action and released another stand-up special, Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself, on Hulu, CBR noted. Foxx also resumed hosting duties alongside Anelise on the Fox game show Beat Shazam after Nick Cannon previously filled in during his absence.
