Looks like Jamie Foxx and his team is denying the claims that he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman back in 2015.
As we previously reported, an unnamed woman filed a lawsuit against the actor Wednesday claiming Foxx allegedly touched her inappropriately when she and a friend asked for a photo. But the actors team is denying the allegations. A spokesperson for Foxx, spoke with PageSix and said the alleged incident “never happened.” Also adding that the woman who filed the lawsuit tried the same thing back in 2020 and the case was dismissed. “In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter.”

The spokesperson continued to allege that “The claims are no more viable today than they were then. We are confident they will be dismissed again.” In his conclusion he shared that the “Ray” actor is planning to take legal action against the woman. “Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action.”
Now if your not familiar with the details of the lawsuit, the woman alleged that she and a friend, both of whom had been sitting a table away from him, walked over to ask for a picture with Foxx, who had been having drinks with a co-founder and the owner of the business, Catch NYC & Roof. While they were taking pictures, an “intoxicated” Foxx “roughly” grabbed the woman’s phone and continued to take more pictures while also making suggestive comments like “Wow, you have that super model body,” according to the suit.

Then, he grabbed her arm to pull her to the back of the rooftop, where he slid his hand under her shirt and began rubbing her breasts, the suit alleges. The woman tried to move away, but Foxx slid his hands into her pants and put his fingers on and in her vagina and anus, according to the court filing.
A security guard allegedly saw what was going on but walked away anyway, the suit alleges. It adds that when the woman’s friend walked over, Foxx stopped touching her and walked over to the security guard.
Also named in the suit are Catch NYC & Roof — the rooftop bar at 21 Ninth Ave. in New York — Catch NYC Inc., Catch Hospitality Group and Mark Birnbaum, the owner of Catch. Catch NYC and Birnbaum did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday night.
