Jamie Foxx reflected on his infamous “medical complication” while speaking at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements at the Fairmont Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday night. It was his first public appearance since the hospitalization in April. He says that he wouldn’t wish the experience on his worst enemy.
Foxx began by taking the stage on his own. “I couldn’t do that six months ago, I couldn’t actually walk to [the stage]. And I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people saying that I was cloned out there,” he joked, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now, it’s different, I wouldn’t wish what I went though on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over, when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light. It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘S–t, am I going to the right place?’”

Foxx still hasn’t gone into details as to what medical condition he suffered from that caused his hospitalization. On stage, continued: “I have a new respect for life, I have a new respect for my art. I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by. Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up on your art. When you realize that it could be over like that… I got to tell you don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you either.”
Foxx will receive the Vanguard Award for his performance in The Burial. His appearance at the ceremony and his win were both surprises to the audience. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jamie Foxx on HotNewHipHop.
Hollywood superstar Jamie Foxx has found himself caught in the web of the Adult Survivors Act (ASA). Between his unspecified medical emergency earlier in the year, and the lawsuit he now faces, Foxx has certainly had a turbulent 2023. Without a doubt, the ASA has shaken up the entertainment, sports, and even the country’s political industry. The legislation was enacted on November 24, 2022, and is meant to last a one-year period. Within that time, victims of sexual assault would be able to file a lawsuit against their alleged abusers. As long as they were 18 or older at the time of their abuse claims, they could sue their alleged abusers no matter how long ago they were abused.
Notably, over 2,500 lawsuits were filed under the ASA while it was active. However, there was a noticeable surge in the number of lawsuits filed within the act’s final weeks. Celebrities and politicians, including Cuba Gooding Jr., Jimmy Iovine, and Andrew Cuomo, among others, were hit with lawsuits. Jamie Foxx, too, was accused of sexual misconduct under the ASA before it expired. Foxx has since denied the claims.

On November 22, 2023, two days before the ASA’s deadline, Foxx was sued for sexual assault by an anonymous woman. The complaint was filed at the New York Supreme Court and alleges that the victim was assaulted at a rooftop bar in 2015. In detail, the incident allegedly happened at Catch NYC in August 2015, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE. The lawsuit details the events of that night, and how the actor allegedly sexually assaulted the victim.
The woman has chosen to remain anonymous and will be referred to as Jane Doe. The suit alleges that she saw Mark Birnbaum, a co-founder of the establishment, having drinks with Foxx “one table away.” Afterward, at approximately 1:00 a.m., she claims to have walked up to the actor, accompanied by her friend, to ask for pictures with him. According to the suit, he replied, “Sure baby, anything for you,” after which he took “several photographs” with her.
The Incident

The suit contains claims from the alleged victim that Jamie Foxx “seemed intoxicated.” According to the document, he began to make moves on Jane Doe. She claims that he passed several comments, including “Wow, you have that supermodel body,” “You smell so good,” and “You look like Nickie.” He allegedly clarified that “Nickie” was Gabrielle Union after Doe asked him who that was.
In time, Foxx allegedly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to the back area of the rooftop bar. She said that it was at this back area that Jamie Foxx sexually assaulted her. As soon as they reached a secluded area, Foxx “placed both of his hands on her waist, moved them under her ‘crop top’ and began rubbing her breasts,” alleges the court filing. While Jane Doe claims she attempted to step away, she alleges that the actor proceeded to slide his hands into her pants. Furthermore, she claims she noticed a security guard “some distance away who saw what was happening but walked further away.”

In addition, she claims that when Foxx slid his hands into her pants, her friend came outside. Afterward, he allegedly stopped and walked towards the aforementioned security guard. In the lawsuit, the woman claims to have required medical treatment and advice. She was allegedly “injured [and] was rendered sick, sore, lame and disabled.” Furthermore, she alleges that she “was unable to pursue her usual and regular activities.” It also claims that she has had “to undergo great conscious pain.” Finally, the suit states that she “will permanently be affected by the injuries and emotional distress she incurred as a result.”
Additionally, she claims it caused her “severe emotional distress and anxiety, humiliation, embarrassment, post-traumatic stress disorder and other physical and emotional damages.” The suit alleges that Birnbaum and Catch’s employees “had knowledge of Foxx’s propensities for aggressive behavior towards females.” Furthermore, it was alleged that they also knew Foxx’s “bad disposition when consuming excessive alcohol.” Following the filing of the lawsuit against Jamie Foxx, the woman is now seeking unspecified damages.
A Spokesperson For Jamie Foxx Addresses The Lawsuit
Soon after the lawsuit was filed, a representative of the Oscar-winning actor refuted the accusations in a statement. “The alleged incident never happened. In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The claims are no more viable today than they were then. We are confident they will be dismissed again. And once they are, Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action.”
Subsequently, Jane Doe’s representative, Michael S. Lamonsoff responded as well. In a statement of his own, he stated, “Our client and our firm will not be intimidated by Jamie Foxx’s age-old tactic of lies and threats against survivors of sexual assault,” he said. “Thankfully, the ASA was passed, allowing our client to demand accountability for the abuse and mental anguish she had endured since the time of this heinous assault.”
The entertainment industry finds itself engulfed in a surge of sexual assault allegations as survivors leverage the closing window provided by the New York Survivors Statute. High-profile figures such as hip-hop mogul Diddy, actor JamieFoxx, and music executive Jimmy Iovine are now grappling with legal challenges as they face lawsuits stemming from these accusations.
A Wave of Lawsuits
The entertainment industry is facing a tidal wave of sexual assault allegations as survivors take advantage of the closing window provided by the New YorkSurvivors Statute.
Hip-hop mogul Diddy, actor Jamie Foxx, and music executive Jimmy Iovine have all been sued. Diddy is facing a second lawsuit alleging sexual assault. Joi Dickerson-Neal, a former Syracuse University student, claims that the Bad Boy Records CEO drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1991.
According to the lawsuit filed on Nov. 23, Diddy recorded the assault, and a male friend later revealed that he had seen the video. The incident left Dickerson-Neal battling severe depression and thoughts of suicide.

Another anonymous woman filed a lawsuit on Nov. 24 accusing Diddy and singer Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend at an event hosted by Uptown Records in 1990 or 1991. The lawsuit alleges that Hall coerced the plaintiff into having sex with the hip-hop mogul, and later, Hall forced himself onto her.

The suits were filed in the New York Supreme Court, both before the expiration of the New York Adult Survivors Act on Nov. 24, which allows adult sexual assault survivors one year to sue regardless of when the original statute of limitations expired.
Jamie Foxx Sued
In a separate lawsuit, Jamie Foxx is being sued by an anonymous woman for an incident that occurred in New York in 2015. The plaintiff claims that Foxx touched her inappropriately at a rooftop lounge and bar, placing his hands on her waist and rubbing her breasts.
She further alleges that Foxx slid his hand into her pants, and touched her genital area. The woman says she suffered physical injuries and emotional distress as a result of the assault.

Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine has also been hit with a sexual assault lawsuit.
On Nov. 22, a woman, who chose to remain anonymous accused Iovine of sexually abusing, touching, and harassing her in August 2007. The lawsuit includes charges of assault and battery, as well as violations of gender-motivated violence protection laws.

No arrests or court dates have been set for any of the men involved in these lawsuits, leaving survivors anxiously awaiting justice.
The Beginning Of The End?
On November 16, Diddy’s former girlfriend, Cassie filed a $30 million lawsuit against Diddy and accused him of abuse and rape during their decade-long relationship. The Cassie vs. Diddy lawsuit would settle for an undisclosed amount the next day.
Someone close to Diddy, who also was hit with sexual assault allegations was former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre. An anonymous woman accused Pierre of abusing his authority to exploit and assault her.
LA Reid Hit With Sexual Assault Lawsuit
In a similar vein, music executive L.A. Reid, co-founder of LaFace Records, is facing sexual assault allegations. Former Arista Records executive Drew Dixon has accused Reid of assaulting her twice in 2001.
Diddy lost out on a role in Any Given Sunday due to his inability to convincingly throw a football. According to Bill Bellamy, Diddy was director Oliver Stone’s first choice for the role of William Beaman, the team’s jaded third-string quarterback. “The first offer was out to Puffy. We have a workout at USC. There is no way you can be in Any Given Sunday if you’re not an athlete. I don’t give a f-ck what’s on your résumé. If you’re going for the quarterback, you gotta be able to throw. So they said, ‘Okay, Sean Combs. Sean, let’s go!’ He gets under the quarterback. He’s gonna be mad when I say this, thisi shit is crazy. So they said, ‘Hut!’ And he goes back. You know how you throw with your left hand, with your weak hand? That was his regular hand. They said, ‘Thank you’,” Bellamy said.
The role would eventually go to Jamie Foxx instead. The film was a commercial success, nearly doubling its $55M budget. Stone has also previously spoken about passing on Diddy. “[Diddy] was not really a natural athlete, so we waited him out. The bigger issue was the arm,” he said. “He just didn’t have the throwing ability, and you can’t double him, because it’s going to look phony,” Stone told Entertainment Weekly.
However, it’s not just throwing a tight spiral that Diddy reportedly struggles with. In recent weeks, Diddy revealed that he’s working with basketball influencer Lethal Shooter to help improve his three-point shooting. In footage shared by HipHopDX, Diddy described his current ability as the “worst shot a Black man can have” and is hoping the star trainer can help him develop some respectability from three.
Diddy is almost the polar opposite of Rich Paul, who had a very different claim about his three-point shooting. “I would be one of the best shooters in the league. Me, Dame, Steph, Klay. If we’re just talking shooting, this is the class I’m in. Trae, Darius Garland. I’m talking about guys who shoot the three really well,” Paul said on Club Shay Shay last month.
Alyce Huckstepp has become a figure of growing public interest due to her relationship with Jamie Foxx, an Oscar-winning actor, comedian, and musician. Despite her connection to a celebrity, Huckstepp has managed to maintain a private life, a stark contrast to Foxx’s public persona. This article aims to provide a comprehensive view of Alyce based on available information.
Huckstepp, unlike Foxx, is not a public figure and has minimal social media presence. She is an Australian former fitness model. Huckstepp has not spoken publicly about her personal or professional life. So very little has been confirmed about her upbringing and private life. She previously promoted a business venture on social media but has since deleted her Instagram account, further limiting public insight into her life.
Jamie Foxx and Alyce Huckstepp’s relationship came to public attention when they were first spotted together at a nightclub in Miami Beach in March 2022. This was the beginning of a relationship that would soon capture media and public interest. They made their initial public appearance as a couple at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2022, and Huckstepp was also present at the premiere of Foxx’s film Day Shift in August 2022.
Huckstepp’s role became particularly notable during Foxx’s health scare in April 2023, where she provided significant support during his recovery. The couple has been seen together in various high-profile locations, including Nobu restaurant in Malibu and on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
According to US Weekly and Men’sHealth, a source close to Foxx said the following about Huckstepp: “Aside from his family, Alyce has been a huge source of support throughout his recovery process. She makes him really happy and they spend as much time together as possible. The source also mentioned the dynamics of the couple’s relationship, by noting: “They’ve told one another they love each other, and they have an amazing time whenever they’re together… Alyce has a great sense of humor so she’s able to keep up with Jamie. They have a very playful banter and she keeps him on his toes which he loves.”
Alyce Huckstepp’s Discreet Life & Future With Jamie Foxx
Rumors suggest that Foxx is considering a more serious commitment with her, possibly marriage and expanding their family. But overall, Alyce Huckstepp remains a private individual despite her high-profile relationship. Her relationship with Jamie Foxx has attracted media attention, but details about her personal life are scarce. The couple’s preference for privacy means that much of what is known about them comes from public sightings and media speculations rather than direct statements. Huckstepp’s role in Foxx’s life, particularly during his recent health challenges, shows her important role as a supportive partner.
Jamie Foxx is reportedly thinking about a marriage and more children. According to Radar Online, the Oscar-winning actor is looking to take his relationship a step further with Alyce Huckstepp.
Sources close to the actor state Foxx wants to have his first child with Huckstepp, whom he has dated since 2022. The two are detailed as “smitten,” and the efforts to have a child are “absolutely in the plan!”
In September, Foxx was spotted in Cabo with his girlfriend Huckstepp, enjoying a baecation.
Foxx was spotted in a matching graphic black jacket and joggers. A wide-brimmed hat and white sneakers completed the fit. You can see looks from his getaway below.
Previously, Jamie Foxx shared another update on his health. Sharing a collection of photos in a white tee, with a knit bucket and holding red crocs, Foxx let fans know -he was in an “unexpected dark journey.”
“You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light…,” Foxx wrote. “I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers… I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD… all day every day…”
Jamie Foxx spent most of 2023 recovering from a health scare that initially left fans wondering if the actor would survive. Thankfully, the “Gold Digger” hitmaker pulled through, and new reports allege he plans to close out the year with a seriously big bang. According to RadarOnline‘s sources, Foxx might be proposing to his girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp this coming holiday season, and he even sees a baby together in their future cards.
Interestingly, this update comes just months after reports said that the 55-year-old wants to reconcile with his ex, Katie Holmes. Seeing as nothing has transpired there, it’s safe to bet the rumours were untrue. Instead, Foxx is said to be “smitten” and “having fun” with his blonde beauty, though they’re still keeping a future together in mind. They first got together in 2022, and while the multi-talent’s “medical complication” might’ve pushed some women away, it apparently only brought him and Huckstepp closer together.
“Jamie did not know if he was going to live, and he truly feels like he’s getting a second chance at life. He wants to make it count,” someone dished to The National Enquirer this week. “He’s totally in love. He’s going to propose soon — probably over the holidays — and knowing Jamie, he’ll make it very romantic,” they further speculated. Foxx is already a father of two daughters, 29-year-old Corinne and 15-year-old Anelise, from past partnerships. He reportedly desires to have a son and would love to have a little one around him and Huckstepp’s home.
For those of you who are more concerned about Jamie Foxx’s return to the big screen than the status of his relationship, you’ll be very happy with a recent update on his career. In the late summer, it was confirmed that the “Blame It” hitmaker currently has eight projects in production, meaning will be seeing plenty of Foxx in no time. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Between acting, singing, and stand-up comedy, multidisciplinary veteran Jamie Foxx is a very busy man. However, he’s never been too busy for love; over the years, he has been involved in a few relationships. Although he has kept the list relatively short, you can count on Mr. Foxx not to leave his heart vacant for too long. After all, at heart, he’s still the same R&B crooner with a stacked discography of love songs under his belt. These days, Jamie Foxx is in a relationship with Alyce Huckstepp, and it’s his first public partner since his 6-year relationship ended in 2019. Regardless, there have been some high and low-profile relationships in the veteran’s life since his breakthrough in the industry.
Connie Kline (1993)
Jamie Foxx had his first publicly known relationship with Air Force veteran Connie Kline. Foxx, 26 years old at the time, dated Kline for a short while in the ‘90s. While they never got engaged or married, the couple did have a child together. On February 15, 1994, they welcomed Corinne to the world, their first and only child together. Subsequently, they called their romantic relationship off. Their daughter, Corinne, is now 29 years old and has a good relationship with both her parents. Corinne has worked as a model since she was 20 and has represented several big-name brands. Additionally, Corinne has acting credits in a handful of projects.

Leila Arcieri was Foxx’s first high-profile partner. The actress, model, and businesswoman was in a relationship with Jamie Foxx for a few months between 2005 and 2006. Obviously, their relationship did not last very long. However, while the couple were together, they never hesitated to let the world know. The two were often seen on red carpets, attending events like movie premieres together. They particularly turned heads as a couple at the 2005 Golden Globes Awards ceremony. Additionally, they attended the premieres of Ray, Collateral, and I, Robot together.
Kristin Grannis (2008)
Kristin Grannis is a licensed marriage and family therapist. It is unknown exactly how long the romantic relationship between Jamie Foxx and Grannis lasted. However, their romance produced Jamie Foxx’s second child while it lasted. The couple celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Anelise, on October 3, 2008. Grannis and Foxx have since broken up, but they have remained friends. The therapist was spotted with Foxx in Los Angeles in August, soon after the controversial Instagram post incident.
Katie Holmes (2013 – 2019)

Jamie Foxx had his longest relationship with Katie Holmes. It is also the actor’s most high-profile romance to date. While they were an item for six years, the pair did not admit to being together until May 2019, when they attended the Met Gala. In the years leading up to their public debut as a couple, they had sparked dating rumors multiple times. Speculations about the two being together came up many times, occasionally even backed by photos taken of them together. However, neither of the two ever directly addressed the rumors. Unfortunately, they called it quits on their six-year relationship later that same month.
Alyce Huckstepp (2023)

As reported by People, Foxx was first seen in public with Huckstepp in August 2023. The couple were on a date with some friends at Nobu in Malibu. Since then, they have been spotted together on multiple occasions. Not much more is known about her yet. However, since she was revealed to be Foxx’s girlfriend, Huckstepp has greatly supported the actor.
Although this one was filmed prior to his health scare, Jamie Foxx is back in action. The award-winning, multifaceted entertainer has been on hiatus for months after being hospitalized for a mysterious medical complication. The actor has assured his supporters that he’s doing much better, and as he continues to recover, Foxx is now ushering in the rollout of his latest film, The Burial.
A teaser trailer has also made its way to the internet, and while it doesn’t divulge much of the storyline, we do have some insights. The Burial pulls its inspiration from a true life court case involving eclectic lawyer Willie E. Gary. He was known for his elevated tone, radical energy, and monumental victories against million-dollar companies. Foxx’s film is loosely based on Gary’s triumph against the Loewen Group, and in the feature, the actor portrays the determined counselor.
The Million-Dollar Case
This film takes us back to the mid-1990s as Jeremiah O’Keefe, the owner of a funeral home, hires Willie E. Gary. O’Keefe and the Loewen Group, a more substantial funeral company, had a contract that hadn’t been honored. With Gary’s help and leadership, O’Keefe sued Loewen, and it spelled a huge judgment to the tune of $500 million dollars. However, reports also state that it was later settled for $175 million. This would also ultimately unravel all the white-collar crimes that fall through the corporate cracks.
Further, the case would spell the end of the Loewen Group, and The Burial aims to tell the tale. Albeit, much more dramatically and with Foxx standing alongside fellow icon Tommy Lee Jones, who appears as the distraught O’Keefe. “We gotta go to war,” Foxx is seen passionately delivering in a teaser provided to The Root. “‘Cause that’s what I think litigation is. Litigation is war, it’s a battle. A battle to the death, and I’m not talking about no bullshit either. I’m talking about some Jean-Claude Van Damme, ass-kicking sh*t!”
The character adds: “Now, I know y’all looking at me crazy, but that’s how I like to get. And if we don’t get crazy with these motherf*ckers—I’m telling you. This Loewen Group, they powerful. Gotta lotta money, gotta lotta influence. They have everything that we don’t. But we not gon’ let them intimidate us.”
The Burial Arrives Next Week
If you’re looking for a break from Halloween-centered features, then The Burial is for you. Considering Foxx and Jones are just two of the noteworthy talents involved, it’s set to be a hit, regardless of the season. You can stream the movie on Prime Video upon its release on Friday, October 13. It is unclear if this will be Foxx’s last release for some time, as he continues to recover from his ailment that left him hospitalized. Still, his fans continue to wish him well. Make sure to check out both teaser trailers for The Burial above.
Jamie Foxx was loving it up in Cabos this week. The actor was spotted with his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, over the weekend grabbing a bite to eat on the Baja Peninsula. However, the cameras also caught the couple stealing a couple of kisses during the intimate meal. The pair have been dating for a while and have been spotted out with friends around LA over the last two months or so. Foxx has spent most of September enjoying various vacation spots in Mexico.
However, not everything is as serene as their paradise vacation. A number of Foxx’s friends are worried that he’s rushing into things with Huckstepp. According to various sources, Foxx is already considering marrying her. While Foxx may feel good about this, some of his friends reportedly believe he’s rushing into things as a result of his medical scare earlier in the year.

While he appears to be enjoying an extended vacation in Mexico, Foxx is also reportedly extremely busy with ongoing projects. The one Jamie Foxx project that could be out this year is Not Another Church Movie. The cast includes Mickey Rourke and Vivica A. Fox and sees Rourke and Foxx battle it out as the Devil and God respectively. Recently, a trailer dropped for courtroom drama, The Burial. Foxx plays a smooth-talking lawyer in the mid-90s who must defend a family-owned funeral home. Additionally, there is another legal biopic Signal Hill. Reportedly in post-production, it stars Anthony Mackie as civil rights lawyer Johnny Cochran, best known for leading OJ Simpson’s legal team. Foxx reportedly plays Black Panthers leader Elmer ‘Geronimo’ Pratt.
Aside from those films, Foxx has several more projects with more unknown statuses. Tin Soldiers sees Foxx play a man who runs an outreach program for military veterans which quickly becomes sinister. Meanwhile, Foxx is reportedly doing voice work for Groove Tails, which focuses on a competitive street dancing circuit for mice. Furthermore, Foxx is linked to a remake of the 1968 western The Wild Bunch alongside Michael Fassbender and Peter Dinklage. Finally, Foxx is also linked to a TV series about the career of Mike Tyson. However, that remains in limbo as Tyson has objected to the casting of Foxx. Additionally, the Mail lists a ninth project – All-Star Weekend. However, that film was wrapped in 2016 and was officially shelved in 2022 over concerns about offensive content in the film.
