A birthday celebration organised for American actor Jamie Foxx’s daughter, Anelise Foxx, at his California mansion reportedly descended into chaos after multiple fights broke out, leading to police intervention and the arrest of two suspects.
The incidents occurred on Saturday, November 7, during SKVLK Fest, an annual Halloween-themed music festival held at Foxx’s residence in Thousand Oaks, California. The event also served as a celebration of Anelise’s 18th birthday.
According to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, three separate altercations are being investigated following the event, which attracted an estimated 3,000 or more guests.
In the first incident, authorities initially received a report that a juvenile had been slashed with a knife, leaving him with a superficial injury to his neck.
However, following further investigation and an interview with the victim, officers determined that no knife had been used and that the injury appeared to have resulted from a physical altercation.
While responding to the initial incident, deputies also witnessed another altercation in which a juvenile allegedly kicked someone in the head. The suspect was arrested.
A third incident was reported the following day after a man alleged that he was knocked to the ground in a mosh pit near the concert stage, repeatedly punched and kicked, and left unconscious. He also reported that his money and phone were missing, although the phone was later recovered and returned to him.
Authorities confirmed that two juvenile suspects had been arrested in connection with the incidents and identified three victims.
The sheriff’s office is continuing its investigation and has appealed to attendees to provide photographs and video recordings that could assist in establishing what happened.
The festival organisers also expressed concern over the incidents, thanking security personnel and emergency medical teams who responded to the situation.
They clarified that no one was stabbed and said they were cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
It remains unclear whether Foxx was present at the event.
