A mystery lady in a lawsuit accused a Hollywood actor, Jamie Foxx of sexually assaulting her at a rooftop bar in New York in 2015.
Responding through his legal team, the actor, singer and comedian Jamie Foxx says the incident “never happened.”
The lawsuit, according to Cbsnews, was filed Wednesday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan by a woman known in the documents only as Jane Doe. The mystery woman alleges that Foxx rubbed her breasts and groped her under her pants against her will.
The suit says she and a friend were seated at a table next to Foxx’s at Catch NYC in 2015. The woman’s asked Foxx for a photo, and the two women took several pictures with him, the suit says. It says that afterward, he began complimenting her “super model body” and told her she looked like the actor Gabrielle Union.
The woman went further to accused Foxx of grabbing her by the arm and took her to a secluded area, where he put both hands under her crop top and felt her breasts, the suits says. She tried to pull away from Foxx as he reached into her pants with his hands and touched her genitals, the suit also alleges.
When the woman’s friend found them, he stopped and the women walked away, the suit says.
Reacting in a statement, a spokesperson for Foxx said “the alleged incident never happened.”
“In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn,” the statement read. “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.”
The woman is seeking damages to be determined at trial, the suit says.
