Jamie Foxx has addressed fans for the first time following a dramatic incident during his birthday dinner that left him needing stitches. Taking to Instagram late Saturday, the actor shared his thoughts, writing, “The devil is a lie. Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that pray and check on me… when your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness… but they don’t know that you’re built for it.”

Jamie also seized the moment to promote his latest project, saying, “Huge thank yous to everyone that have watched and been inspired by What Had Happened Was… number 1 on @Netflix. If you haven’t checked it out, please go check it out—it’s from my heart and my soul.”

The incident occurred at Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills, where another table reportedly became rude and vulgar. When Jamie intervened, someone allegedly threw a glass at his face.

Despite the ordeal, Foxx seems to be healing well and staying focused, though he’s clearly not laughing off the altercation. His resilience and gratitude are shining through, proving he’s as tough as ever.
