Jamie Foxx‘s assault at a Los Angeles restaurant earlier this month is still being investigated, and police now want to speak with Odd Future founding member Jasper Dolphin in connection with it.
As previously reported, Foxx, his daughters and his ex Kristin Grannis were at the Beverly Hills location of Mr. Chow celebrating his birthday on December 13 when police got notice of a fight happening inside.
Early reports revealed that someone from another table threw a glass that hit Foxx in the mouth and he was forced to get stitches, and now more information is available.
According to a report from TMZ on Thursday (December 26), the issue started due to a Jackass stunt that used a laser pointer to project a penis onto Foxx’s table. Not taking kindly to the prank, the actor walked over to tell the people behind it to stop – and apparently things escalated from there.

Jasper, who joined the Jackass crew a few years back, was reportedly at Mr. Chow that night and police now want to interview him about the matter. He is currently not a suspect or person of interest in the investigation, however.
According to the outlet, Foxx is planning to press charges “so this type of incident does not happen to others.”
In other Foxx news, his recently-released special Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was… finds the comedian revisiting his April 2023 health scare – which he revealed was a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
However, the internet was running rampant with rumors that the cause was actually an unsuccessful hit by Diddy – claims that were amplified by Joe Rogan when he discussed it on his podcast in November.

But Jamie was sure to clarify that was not the case.
“The internet said that Puffy tried to kill me. That’s what the internet was saying!” he says in the special, which was recorded in October. “I know what you thinking – ‘Did he?’ Hell nah, n-gga. I left them parties early. I was out by 9, n-gga. Something don’t look right. It’s slippery in here.”
He throws in a few more jokes about Diddy throughout the special as well.
When discussing his nearly-fatal health scare, he said: “I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil like, ‘Come on.’ Or is that Puffy? I’m fucking around.”

Later in his set, he references the 1,000 bottles of baby oil seized from Diddy’s property: “If it was Puffy, he had a flaming bottle of Johnson &… I’m just kidding.”
