Jamie Foxx’s annual Halloween party in California has a strict ‘No Real or Fake Weapons’ rule. Then a guest is reportedly stabbed in the neck
Jamie Foxx and his daughter Anelise host Skvlk Fest, an annual Halloween music festival, at the actor’s Thousand Oaks mansion. Law enforcement officials arrived at the property on Saturday night following reports of a stabbing at this year’s event, according to TMZ. A man sustained a superficial neck wound and received medical attention from paramedics at the scene.
One individual was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, per law enforcement sources. A Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson later reportedly said deputies responded to a party call and arrested a juvenile. Footage captured after the altercation appeared to show multiple people in handcuffs as the crowd of hundreds began to leave the area.
Skvlk Fest, which is pronounced like skulk, is organized by 18-year-old Anelise and includes carnival rides and live music. Signs at the event reportedly stated that attendees were prohibited from carrying “Real or Fake Weapons,” even if the items were just costume props. However, it is unclear whether guests were searched or how the confrontation began.
Foxx already had to stop the show at last year’s party
This is not the first time a party at this location has faced security issues. During last year’s event, someone in the crowd reportedly threw a glass bottle toward the rapper GloRilla while she was performing on stage. The incident temporarily halted her set, and Jamie Foxx stepped in to defend the artist.
Foxx took the microphone and asked the crowd why anyone would throw something at the stage, reminding them that the show was free. He told the audience he was disappointed and that they did not deserve the performance. “I love y’all, but I hate whoever the f— that was,” Foxx said. GloRilla eventually finished her performance after the interruption.
This year’s festival was originally scheduled for Halloween night, but organizers moved the date as rainy weather hit California. Jamie Foxx shared Instagram clips of performers, including OhGeesy and Offset, while praising Anelise for organizing the night. However, it remains unclear whether the actor was home when the stabbing occurred, and he has not mentioned the incident on social media.
Jamie Foxx is the father of two daughters, Anelise and 32-year-old Corinne. He shares Anelise with Kristin Grannis and Corinne with Connie Kline. The family also grew last week, as Foxx and his 31-year-old girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, reportedly welcomed a baby.
An assault with a deadly weapon arrest doesn’t mean charges will follow
Under California Penal Code Section 245, assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm can bring up to four years in state prison. Judges can instead impose up to a year in county jail, a fine of up to $10,000, or both. Prosecutors can treat it as a felony or misdemeanor, as the statute allows either sentence.
If the suspect is a minor, as the sheriff’s spokesperson reportedly indicated, the case would likely be handled in juvenile court. Welfare and Institutions Code Section 602 gives California’s juvenile courts jurisdiction over misdemeanors and felonies committed by people under 18, according to the Yuba County Superior Court.
