New Video Shows a Fight Breaking Out at Jamie Foxx’s Halloween Party as Investigators Ask for Footage
Jamie Foxx’s home has become the setting for a very public Halloween tradition. The party, known as SKVLK Fest, is an annual event organized by Foxx’s daughter Anelise Foxx. Videos of past SKVLK Fest events show live musical performances and thousands of people in attendance. The party was first set to take place on Oct. 31 but was postponed due to inclement weather in California, Entertainment Weekly reported.
This year’s event at Foxx’s Thousand Oaks home was much more chaotic than planned. A video posted to TMZ’s social media accounts showed a chaotic scene outside the party with multiple people in handcuffs. Law enforcement officers appeared to escort hundreds of party attendees dressed in costume off of Foxx’s property.
Now, new footage has surfaced from inside the gathering. In an exclusive, TMZ obtained a short video of a fight that broke out at the party. The clip shows several men fighting in a wooded area on the property, with multiple people appearing to strike another man as they roll on the ground. Other people can also be seen getting into it in the distance.
The first reports from the night were more alarming. TMZ’s original report said a man had been stabbed in the neck, and that deputies had arrested a suspect on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The man reportedly suffered a superficial injury and was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Authorities have since revised that account. Police say they initially thought one male was stabbed in the neck, but after speaking with the victim, they do not believe a knife was used in the attack. Paramedics treated the victim for non-life-threatening injuries at the scene.
The case is still open. Authorities are investigating three separate assaults and seeking footage from attendees. Investigators are now asking partygoers and witnesses to share any video that could help.
The sheriff’s office stressed its focus on community safety. “The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to protecting the safety and security of our communities,” the department said in its release.

The party did have rules in place. A sign obtained by TMZ spelled out a “No Real or Fake Weapons” rule, with guests also told that drugs and alcohol were prohibited. The sign stated guests were prohibited from having “real or fake weapons” as props with their Halloween costumes.
The event had been promoted as a major celebration. “We’re bringing back the biggest Halloween party of the year,” Anelise Foxx announced on social media last month. “And this time, we’re taking it to a whole nother level.”
The actor hasn’t directly addressed the altercations. Foxx has made no comment about the alleged incident, instead posting positive footage of the party organized by his daughter, Anelise. It’s unclear if Foxx was at home at the time of the incident, TMZ added.
He did show frustration with guests at one point during the night. In video captured by a fan, Foxx took the mic to call out someone who threw an object at the stage, reminding the crowd that the event was free and saying he was very disappointed.
For an event meant to celebrate Halloween with music and spectacle, the latest footage has shifted attention to safety. As investigators review videos from attendees, more details about what happened on the property may come out. For now, the new clip adds to a growing picture of a night that got out of hand, and of an investigation that is still underway.
Do you think large-scale private events like Jamie Foxx's SKVLK Fest need tighter security after these reported altercations?
