Actor Jamie Foxx confronted partygoers at his daughter’s Halloween festival after rapper GloRilla was allegedly struck by a thrown object during her performance, with video of his angry response quickly going viral.
The incident occurred at SKVLK FEST, an annual Halloween and birthday celebration organized by Foxx’s teenage daughter, Anelise, held at their family home in Thousand Oaks, California. Now in its fifth year, the event featured live music and attracted a crowd of teens and young adults for a night of entertainment in a private setting.
During GloRilla’s performance, an object, believed to be a glass bottle, was hurled from the audience and reportedly hit or came dangerously close to the rapper on stage. This immediate disruption halted the show, creating a tense atmosphere among attendees and prompting a swift response from the host.
Jamie Foxx took the stage, grabbing the microphone to address the crowd. He expressed his frustration and disappointment, using strong language to condemn the act and demand that the person responsible identify themselves. His outburst highlighted the disrespect shown to the performer and underscored his commitment to maintaining a safe environment.
Foxx emphasized that the event was free and meant for enjoyment, stressing that artists deserve respect and safety while performing. His firm stance quieted the crowd, with some attendees apologizing for the interruption, showing a moment of collective remorse and acknowledgment of the inappropriate behavior.
After a brief pause, order was restored, and GloRilla chose to resume her performance. The remainder of the event proceeded smoothly without further incidents, and no injuries were reported from the altercation, allowing the festival to conclude on a more positive note despite the earlier disruption.
This isn’t the first time Foxx has faced such situations; last year, he was injured by a thrown glass at his birthday dinner, an incident that required stitches but did not lead to criminal charges. This context adds depth to his heightened reaction and concerns over safety at personal events.
The video of Foxx’s reaction spread rapidly on social media, sparking widespread discussion. Many users praised him for defending the artist and calling out disrespectful behavior, with comments reflecting broader concerns about modern social etiquette and the need for better crowd conduct at live performances.
As of now, neither Foxx nor GloRilla has issued official statements about the incident. Foxx later shared a social media post celebrating the event as “iconic” and expressing pride in his daughter, avoiding any mention of the unfortunate occurrence, which suggests a focus on the positive aspects of the gathering and moving forward.
