Amidst a career spanning Hollywood success, actor Jamie Foxx finds himself embroiled in a lawsuit alleging a distressing incident of sexual assault dating back to 2015. Recognized prominently for his remarkable portrayal of Ray Charles in the film "Ray," Foxx faces legal scrutiny under New York's Adult Survivor's Act, a provision allowing a one-year window for plaintiffs to file civil claims concerning sexual assault, regardless of the statute of limitations.

The lawsuit, shedding light on a distressing incident, narrates an encounter initiated by a photo request from a friend of the plaintiff. Foxx, reportedly appearing intoxicated, complimented the plaintiff's resemblance to Gabrielle Union. However, the situation took a troubling turn when Foxx allegedly escalated the interaction, leading to physical assault despite the plaintiff's attempts to break away. It was only with the intervention of a friend that the alleged assault ceased.

The aftermath of this distressing event resulted in the plaintiff seeking medical treatment and contending with both physical pain and profound emotional distress. As a response, the lawsuit has been filed not only against Foxx but also implicates Catch, alongside its employees. Seeking reparation for the suffering endured, the plaintiff has requested compensation and punitive damages through this legal action.
