Unraveling Jamie Foxx's Birthday Night and Health Journey

Incident at the Restaurant

Jamie Foxx was enjoying his birthday dinner when an unexpected event took place. A glass was thrown from another table and hit him directly in the mouth. This led to the need for stitches as he began his recovery process. The Beverly Hills Police Department was promptly called, and the matter is now in the hands of law enforcement. The incident occurred at Mr. Chow restaurant located at 344 N. Camden Drive just after 10 p.m., although the department did not mention Foxx by name initially. After a thorough investigation, officers determined that the reported assault with a deadly weapon was unfounded. Instead, it was a physical altercation between parties. A preliminary investigation was conducted, and a report documenting the battery was completed. No arrests were made.

CNN has reached out to Mr. Chow for comment, adding to the intrigue surrounding this incident. It is a significant event that has captured the attention of many.

The details of this incident have raised questions and concerns among fans and the public alike. It serves as a reminder of the unexpected challenges that can occur even in the most seemingly ordinary situations.

Health Struggles Last Year

Just days before this incident, Foxx detailed his health struggles in a Netflix special titled "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was." In the special released on Tuesday, he revealed that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke during a medical emergency last year.

"It is a mystery," the Oscar-winning actor said. "We still don't know exactly what happened to me."

He recounted the events of April 11 when he had a bad headache and asked for an aspirin. However, in a medical emergency, those around him seemed unsure of what to do. "Before I could get the aspirin, I went out," he said. "I don't remember 20 days."

Foxx expressed his gratitude to his sister, who he described as "4 foot 11 of nothing but pure love," for driving him around Atlanta in search of a hospital. They eventually ended up at Piedmont Hospital, where a doctor informed them that he was having a brain bleed that had led to a stroke and that he would die without an operation. After the operation, doctors said he might make a full recovery, but it would be the worst year of his life.
