A guest was reportedly stabbed in the neck during Jamie Foxx's annual Halloween party at his California mansion, marking the second consecutive year the star-studded celebration has been disrupted by a safety-related incident. According to reports, the victim suffered a superficial wound and was treated by paramedics at the scene.

The incident unfolded on Saturday, 7 November, at Foxx's Thousand Oaks property, where hundreds of guests had gathered for SKVLK Fest. Emergency responders arrived as costumed attendees were escorted away. Later, security officers were also seen telling the crowd gathered to get off the road so vehicles could pass through. Despite the instructions, some partygoers refused to listen to law enforcement. The latest incident follows a disturbance at the 2025 celebration, when Foxx confronted an audience member who allegedly threw a glass bottle towards the stage during rapper GloRilla's performance.

Police Make Arrest After Halloween Party Stabbing

Ventura County Sheriff's deputies reportedly responded alongside paramedics after receiving reports of the stabbing. A male suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, although authorities have not publicly revealed what led to the confrontation. The victim's identity has not been disclosed, and it is not known whether he and the suspect knew each other.

A photograph from this year's event showed a notice prohibiting guests from bringing weapons onto the premises. The sign reportedly stated, 'No Real or Fake Weapons,' covering actual weapons and imitation items that could be used as Halloween costume accessories. Footage from outside the property showed several individuals in handcuffs as officers dealt with the situation. Emergency vehicles and ambulances were also reportedly present.

Foxx's representatives have not publicly addressed the incident, and it has not been confirmed whether the actor was at the property when the stabbing occurred. He later shared a video on Instagram of rapper OhGeesy performing and praised his daughter Anelise, who helped organise the event. He wrote: '@skvlkfest is on Fuego. @anelisefoxx has done it again!!!! and just getting started @ohgeesy 🎤 🔥.' The Oscar-winning actor made no mention of the alleged incident on social media.

Halloween Party Hit by Trouble for Second Year

In 2025, GloRilla's performance was interrupted after an audience member appeared to throw a glass bottle towards the stage. Foxx, who was present, confronted the person and questioned why anyone would put a performer at risk.

'Why would you do something like that? Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free,' Foxx said in footage from the incident. He also told attendees they did not deserve the performance after someone had endangered the rapper. GloRilla eventually resumed her set.

SKVLK Fest Returns With Star-Studded Line-Up

SKVLK Fest, which has become an annual Halloween production, combines live music, carnival attractions and celebrity appearances at Foxx's Thousand Oaks mansion. This year's event was initially scheduled for 31 October but was postponed because of rainy weather in California. This year's performers include Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red and Leon Thomas. Despite the star-studded lineup, the incident has raised fresh questions about safety at Foxx's annual Halloween celebration.
