A Halloween party at Jamie Foxx’s house was all costumes and candy until it wasn’t.
Organizers originally scheduled the event for Oct. 31 but postponed it due to weather conditions in California.
On Nov. 7, law enforcement officers and paramedics responded to Foxx’s Thousand Oaks home after someone reported that a guest had suffered a neck stabbing during the annual Skvlk Fest gathering.
Skvlk Fest is a Halloween-themed music festival that Anelise Foxx organizes. The event features carnival-style rides and live performances. This year’s lineup included OhGeesy, Offset, and 310Babii.
According to TMZ, the guest sustained superficial injuries, which paramedics treated at the scene.

Shortly afterward, authorities took a male suspect into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Officials have not yet released further details about the charges.
Organizers appear to have taken precautions to promote guest safety ahead of the event. Signage outlining festival rules reportedly prohibited real and fake weapons.
Although it remains unclear what sparked the altercation, authorities moved quickly to clear the area and direct partygoers off the property following the incident.
According to the L.A. Times, authorities took a suspect, described as a “juvenile male,” into custody. But the investigation is still underway.
Footage shared on X shows large crowds being directed to leave as one man complained of wanting to press charges while arrested.
“Jamie Fox, damn near 60, why is he hosting streaming events with young crowds? Don’t make sense,” said one social media user.
Another said, “Jamie should not have random people at his mansions. He will probably be sued by the victims of these stabbings.”
Joking, one person said, “Blame it on the a-a-a-al-co-hol.”
Instead of responding to the discourse, the singer shared party highlights on his Instagram page. In the caption of one post, he said, “@skvlkfest @anelisefoxx was. @djsophia_ you killed it once again!!” In another, he said, ” @djsophia_ you killed it once again!!”
But his comments looked more like “Posting this after a stabbing was reported? Not sure you’re reading the room?” and “looks like a kids party.
The Atlanta Black Star has reached out to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and is awaiting a response.
This isn’t the first time tensions have made their way onto the Skvlk Fest stage. Last year, Foxx had to address an audience member who threw a glass bottle toward the stage while GloRilla was performing.
“Why would you do something like that?” Foxx screamed. “Why would you throw something at the stage, man? This is for free.”
“Y’all don’t deserve this s—. That’s f—ed up, bro,” Foxx continued. “I’m so disappointed. I love y’all but hate whoever the f— that was. That ain’t cool, bro. You throw some s— at my house? That ain’t cool.”
With another incident now raising questions about crowd safety, all eyes are on what comes next for the annual festival.
