The Jamie Foxx Halloween party at his Thousand Oaks mansion ended with deputies investigating three separate assaults, two teenagers under arrest and several videos showing guests fighting across the property. Early reports suggested someone had been stabbed. Authorities later determined that no stabbing occurred, correcting the most dramatic detail before it could settle permanently into the story.

Footage obtained by TMZ shows several men punching and kicking another person on the ground in a wooded area. More guests appear to be fighting farther away, while separate clips show deputies clearing the estate and leading some attendees away in handcuffs.

What happened at the Thousand Oaks event?

The annual SKVLK Fest was held on Saturday night and organized by Foxx’s daughter, Anelise Foxx. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office estimated that at least 3,000 people attended, despite the event having numerous private security guards and emergency medical technicians on site.

Deputies and paramedics responded after reports of multiple fights. Investigators are examining incidents involving three victims:

  • Two teenagers from Newbury Park, aged 15 and 16
  • A 20-year-old man from Thousand Oaks

One victim said attackers punched and kicked him until he lost consciousness. Deputies reportedly witnessed another teenager kick a concertgoer in the head.

A photograph from the event showed a posted rule banning both real and fake weapons. That policy was admirably specific, though it apparently did little to prevent people from using their hands and feet.

Why did early reports mention a stabbing?

Initial accounts said a male guest had suffered a superficial neck wound and may have been stabbed. TMZ, the Los Angeles Times and KABC reported versions of that account while the response was still developing.

After interviewing the victim and reviewing the incident, investigators concluded that no knife had been used. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office then said it was examining three physical assaults rather than a stabbing.

The correction also clarified which agency responded. TMZ initially identified Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies, but Thousand Oaks is served by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Two 17-year-old boys from Simi Valley were arrested following separate fights, according to People. That differs from the initial report that one adult man had been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.

How are investigators handling the fights?

Authorities are asking attendees to provide phone footage that could help establish what happened across the crowded property. With thousands of guests, several altercations and videos recorded from different parts of the estate, investigators have rather more material than a standard party complaint.

The scale of the gathering also raises questions about crowd management. Organizers had hired private guards and medical staff, yet deputies still encountered several alleged assaults serious enough to produce injuries and arrests.

No life-threatening injuries were reported. Paramedics treated at least one victim at the scene, according to the initial account.

Has Jamie Foxx responded?

Jamie Foxx has not publicly addressed the violence or the arrests. After the event, he posted that SKVLK Fest was “on Fuego” and praised Anelise for organizing it.

Before the party, Anelise promoted it as “the biggest Halloween party of the year” and promised to take the event to “a whole other level.” Attendance figures suggest the first claim was not especially modest. The police inquiry supplied an unintended interpretation of the second.

The trouble was not the festival’s first crowd-control problem. Foxx stopped the 2025 event after someone threw an object toward rapper GloRilla. He reminded the audience that the show was free and condemned the behaviour before halting proceedings.

This year’s investigation remains focused on the three assaults, and authorities are continuing to seek recordings from people who attended.
