A birthday celebration for Jamie Foxx’s daughter descended into chaos when violent fights erupted on Nov. 7.
The violence unfolded during SKVLK Fest, an annual Halloween music festival held at Foxx’s California mansion. The party was reportedly coordinated by his daughter Anelise, who turned 18 on Oct. 3. Originally scheduled for Halloween, the event was postponed because of rain.
Video obtained by TMZ from the music festival-turned-birthday bash shows a fight that broke out among guests. Several people are seen punching each other and rolling around on the ground.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Department later confirmed multiple physical altercations took place during the party.
“It was reported to Sheriff’s Communications that a male juvenile suspect allegedly slashed another male juvenile with a knife, causing a response from patrol deputies,” a statement shared by authorities read. “Once on scene, deputies and investigators were told a juvenile victim suffered a superficial laceration to the victim’s neck believed to be from a knife.”
After investigating, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department determined the victim was not assaulted with a knife and that his injury appeared to have resulted from a physical altercation.
Authorities said an estimated 3,000 or more people attended the event.

While authorities were at Foxx’s residence responding to the initial call, they witnessed a juvenile kick another individual in the head. The suspect was taken into custody.
The following day, a third victim reported he was assaulted near the concert stage after being knocked to the ground in a mosh pit, according to the police statement. He said he was repeatedly punched and kicked before losing consciousness. He also reported his phone and money had been stolen. His phone was later recovered and returned.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department is seeking video from the party as the investigations continue. So far, two juvenile suspects have been arrested.

“Our thoughts are with everyone who was hurt, and we’re cooperating fully as the investigations continue,” the statement continued. “But the record needs to be clear: no one was stabbed.”
