17 Dec - Jamie Foxx's rep assured that the actor is doing fine following a recent altercation at his birthday dinner.

On 13 December, it was reported that the "Back in Action" star had been involved in a dispute with a guest from a different table while celebrating his birthday at Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills, California.

"Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth," the spokesperson said. "He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement's hands."

The Beverly Hills Police Department also confirmed this, though stated that it was just a physical altercation with no deadly weapon involved.

"The BHPD conducted a preliminary investigation and completed a report documenting the battery. No arrests were made," they added.

Foxx also seemed to be addressing the issue on his social media account on 16 December, writing, "The devil is busy... but I'm too blessed to be stressed."

"The devil is a lie," he captioned the post. "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."
