‘Ride or Die’ Star Jamie Foxx’s Halloween Party Becomes a Police Matter as New Fight Video Surfaces

Jamie Foxx’s Halloween party has turned into one of the more talked-about celebrity events of the season, and not for the reasons its organizers hoped. The gathering, an annual festival called SKVLK Fest, takes over the actor’s sprawling home in Thousand Oaks, California, and has grown into a full-scale music event. This year’s edition has ended up in the hands of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

The party is organized by Foxx’s daughter Anelise, who helped launch it years ago and has built it into a production with live performers and big crowds. Foxx has supported it publicly each year, and this time he shared footage of rapper OhGeesy performing and praised his daughter on social media. The event was originally scheduled for Halloween itself but was pushed back a week because of rain, so it took place on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Now a fresh piece of footage has added to the picture. TMZ obtained a short video of a fight that broke out at the party, and the clip shows several men fighting in a wooded area on the property, with multiple people appearing to strike another man as they roll on the ground. Other scuffles are visible in the distance, which makes the footage feel more like a chaotic crowd scene than a single isolated scrap.

The first reports on the night were far more dramatic. TMZ’s original report said a man had been stabbed in the neck, and that deputies had arrested a suspect on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Video from outside the property showed people in handcuffs as hundreds of costumed guests were directed off the premises.

That account has since been revised. After speaking with the injured man on Monday, the sheriff’s office determined he was not stabbed and that the injury appeared to stem from what it described as mutual combat or simple battery. TMZ updated its coverage on Wednesday to reflect that.

The sheriff’s office says it is investigating 3 separate incidents at an event reportedly attended by an estimated 3,000 or more people. Accounts of the department’s release describe one juvenile accused of kicking another person in the head, who was booked at the county’s juvenile facility. They also describe a man in a mosh pit near the stage who was knocked down, punched and kicked, lost consciousness and said his phone and money were taken.

According to those accounts, 2 boys aged 17 were booked in connection with separate alleged assaults, and the victims include boys aged 15 and 16 as well as a 20-year-old man. None of the people involved has been publicly named. Investigators are now asking partygoers and witnesses to share any video that could help.

The party had a posted code of conduct, and it made headlines of its own. A sign obtained by TMZ spelled out a “No Real or Fake Weapons” rule, with guests also told that drugs and alcohol were prohibited. Costumes representing police officers, ICE officials or other government agents were banned too.

The event was reportedly restricted to guests between 14 and 22 years old, which may help explain why so many of those mentioned in the investigation are minors. It also underlines how difficult it is to keep a crowd of thousands calm, even with rules and security in place.

This is not the first time SKVLK Fest has made news for the wrong reasons. At last year’s party, a guest reportedly threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla during her set, and Foxx grabbed the microphone to call out the person responsible and ask why anyone would do that to a performer.

For this year’s incident, the picture is still developing. It is unclear whether Foxx was home when the trouble began, and he has not publicly addressed the fights. In a statement on Tuesday, the event thanked deputies, paramedics and security staff and said it is cooperating fully as investigations continue.

What remains uncertain is how the 3 incidents connect, whether more arrests will follow, and whether the festival will return in its current form.
