Jamie Foxx Plans Legal Action in Response to 2015 Sexual Assault Allegations
Subheading: Hollywood Actor Faces Renewed Controversy Amidst Ongoing Legal Battle
In a tumultuous year for Jamie Foxx, the Hollywood actor is set to pursue legal action against an accuser who claims to be a victim of sexual assault back in 2015. The accuser, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, recently filed a lawsuit against Foxx, alleging that the incident occurred at the Catch restaurant rooftop in New York City in August of that year. This revelation surfaced through information disclosed by TMZ, adding another layer to Foxx’s series of troubles.
Foxx’s representative swiftly addressed the allegations, vehemently denying all claims in a statement provided to various media outlets. “It never happened,” stated the spokesperson, countering the brewing controversy.
Further delving into the matter, the spokesperson revealed that a similar lawsuit had been filed by the same individual in Brooklyn in 2020. However, the case was promptly dismissed, casting doubt on the credibility of the current allegations. The representative expressed confidence that the claims would once again be deemed nonviable.
The statement also conveyed Foxx’s intention to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against the accuser and her attorneys following the resolution of the case. This signals Foxx’s determination to take legal action against those involved in what he perceives as a baseless and frivolous lawsuit.
According to information obtained by media outlets, the accuser alleges encountering Foxx and Mark Birnbaum, co-founder of Catch Hospitality Group, at the rooftop bar. Approaching Foxx’s table around 1 a.m. with a friend to take pictures, the woman claims that Foxx, seemingly intoxicated, grabbed her arm and assaulted her in the rear section of the rooftop. The accuser is seeking both punitive and compensatory damages, along with a jury trial, as the legal battle unfolds.
