Why Jamie Foxx has stitches for Christmas

Absolute rest for Jamie Foxx? Nope.

If the doctor had recommended absolute rest and quiet life to Jamie Foxx after his stroke, it does not seem that the actor is paying much attention. Something extraordinary happened in a Beverly Hills restaurant on the day of his birthday.

(Not) a Happy Birthday in 'Mr. Chow'

The actor was celebrating his 57th birthday with his family at the celebrity restaurant 'Mr. Chow' (image) in Beverly Hills, 'Deadline', reports. Then, an unfortunate event happened.

An unexpected attack

At one point, according to Deadline, someone at another table threw a glass at the actor. It hit Jamie Foxx in the face.

Stitches

According to the actor's publicist, "he had to receive stitches and is recovering." It remains to be seen how the injury will affect him and what scars it may leave behind.

'Rude and vulgar'

A witness to the incident pointed directly to the other table involved as the culprits of what happened. "They were rude and vulgar" towards the actor, the witness said.

Reported to the police

Foxx's publicist said: "The police were called and [the person who threw the glass] is now in the hands of the authorities."

Police on high alert

The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) reported to the public that it was called to a "possible assault with a deadly weapon." Upon investigation, "officers determined that the reported assault with a deadly weapon was unfounded."

Punishment?

"The incident involved a physical altercation between parties," authorities stated. "The BHPD conducted a preliminary investigation and completed a report documenting the battery. No arrests were made." However, the culprit likely faces a judge to account for his assault.

Motive unclear

As the police reported, "It’s unclear what prompted the incident, and no further details were provided."

A message of calm

For his part, Jamie Foxx took the matter from a more philosophical perspective. He wrote an enigmatic message on Instagram.

Too blessed to be stressed

"The devil is busy... but I'm too blessed to be stressed," he said on his profile. It seemed that he was heeding the doctors' recommendations to take life easy.
