Actor Jamie Foxx denies sexual assault allegation after a woman sued the star for claiming he ‘rubbed her breasts’ while intoxicated in 2015
American actor Jamie Foxx has denied allegations of sexual assault after the star was sued over an alleged 2015 incident.
In a new lawsuit, the 55-year-old Oscar winner was accused of placing “both hands” on a woman’s waist, before moving them “under her blouse.”
The plaintiff, identified only as ‘Jane Doe’, claimed he ‘started rubbing her breasts’ after ‘pulling her by the arm to the back of the roof’ on Catch NYC & Roof.
She further claimed that the ‘intoxicated’ star told her that ‘she looked like Gabrielle Union’ and touched her in her private areas.
A spokesperson for Foxx denied the allegations in a statement to DailyMail.com, saying: “The alleged incident never happened. In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn.
‘That case was dropped soon after. The claims are no more viable today than they were then.
“We are confident they will be fired again. And once they do, Mr. Foxx intends to file a malicious prosecution lawsuit against this person and his lawyers for filing this frivolous lawsuit again.
In her lawsuit, the plaintiff alleges that the incident occurred at around 1 a.m., just hours after she and a friend were sitting at a table away from him at a celebrity hangout.
According to the lawsuit, “Plaintiff’s friend asked Foxx if he would take a photo with her and Plaintiff” and he allegedly responded, “Sure honey, anything for you.”
She claims he ‘appeared intoxicated at the time’ and told her that ‘she looked like Gabrielle Union’.
Furthermore, the plaintiff alleged that he told her, “Wow, you have that supermodel body” and that she smelled “so good.”
After he allegedly assaulted her, the complainant said he ‘tried to walk away and noticed a security guard and other people who saw what had happened’ but said they ‘chose to leave’.
The plaintiff says things quickly escalated and alleges he “slid his hand down her pants and put his fingers in her vagina and anus.”
As soon as her friend saw what allegedly occurred, the plaintiff said her friend ran over and ‘Jamie stopped touching her.’
The plaintiff alleges that he sought medical treatment and suffered emotional pain and suffering ‘as a result of ‘sexual assault, abuse, assault and battery’.
She is suing Foxx and Catch, as well as their employees, for compensatory and punitive damages.
The lawsuit was filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which opened a one-year revival window to file sexual abuse allegations that would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations.
The deadline to file such complaints is Thursday.
At the time of the alleged incident, he was in a relationship with actress Katie Holmes, from whom he split after six years of dating in May 2019.
He was previously accused of sexual misconduct after a woman claimed he ‘slapped’ her with his penis’ in 2002.
In 2018, Las Vegas police confirmed to People that a “female victim came to LVMPD and alleged that a sexual assault occurred in the Las Vegas area in 2002” and Foxx was named “as a suspect.”
At the time, Foxx’s lawyer released a statement to the outlet denying the allegations.
“Jamie Foxx emphatically denies that this incident occurred and he will be filing a report with the Las Vegas Police Department against the woman for filing a false police report against him,” Foxx’s attorney said.
“The first time Mr. Foxx became aware of this woman’s absurd claims about an incident that allegedly occurred sixteen years ago was when TMZ contacted his representatives today about this story.”
The lawyer added: “The alleged incident was not reported to authorities in 2002, or at any other time in the last sixteen years, until last Friday, because the incident never happened. We consider it extraordinarily reckless for any publication to publish this false story.
The charges come seven months after he suffered an unspecified medical emergency in April that left him hospitalized for months.
