Fights break out at Jamie Foxx’s daughter’s birthday celebration
A birthday party for Jamie Foxx’s daughter turned violent on Nov. 7, when several fights broke out during an event at the actor’s California home.
The gathering was part of SKVLK Fest, an annual Halloween-themed music festival reportedly organized by Foxx’s daughter, Anelise, who turned 18 on Oct. 3. The festival had been planned for Halloween but was postponed because of rain.
Video from the event shows guests punching one another and grappling on the ground. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department later confirmed that multiple physical altercations took place. Authorities estimated that at least 3,000 people attended.
Deputies initially responded to a report that a juvenile had cut another juvenile with a knife. They later determined the victim had not been stabbed and that his superficial neck injury appeared to have been caused during a fight.
While deputies were at the property, they saw a juvenile kick someone in the head. That suspect was taken into custody.
The next day, another person reported being assaulted near the concert stage. He said he was knocked down in a mosh pit, then punched and kicked until he lost consciousness. He also reported that his phone and money were stolen. The phone was later found and returned.
Investigators are asking for video of the event. Two juvenile suspects have been arrested so far.
Festival organizers thanked deputies, detectives, emergency medical workers and security staff for responding. They said they were cooperating with the investigations, expressed concern for those injured and stressed that no one had been stabbed.
It is not known whether Foxx attended the party. His recent social media posts indicate that he has been filming in Australia.
SKVLK Fest has grown from a family celebration into a large Halloween-themed event with music performances, carnival rides, costumes and social media personalities. The 2026 lineup included Offset, OhGeesy, 310babii and SuperDuperKyle. Past performers have included GloRilla, Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and YK Osiris.
