Jamie Foxx Denies Sexual Assault Allegations: Plans Legal Action for Malicious Prosecution
Recent allegations of sexual assault against Jamie Foxx have been vehemently denied by the actor and his team. The claims surfaced when an unnamed woman filed a lawsuit, alleging that Foxx inappropriately touched her during a photo request back in 2015.
A spokesperson for Jamie Foxx spoke with PageSix, stating categorically that the alleged incident "never happened." Notably, the spokesperson pointed out that the same woman had previously attempted a similar lawsuit in 2020, which was subsequently dismissed. "In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter."
The spokesperson went on to assert that the claims made in the current lawsuit are no more viable today than they were in 2020, expressing confidence that they will be dismissed once again. In a bold move, Foxx's team announced that the actor intends to take legal action against the woman for malicious prosecution. "Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action."
This recent development adds another layer to the ongoing conversations surrounding allegations and accountability within the entertainment industry. Foxx, known for his roles in films like "Ray," is not only refuting the claims but is also taking a proactive stance in seeking legal recourse against what he deems a baseless lawsuit.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the public will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this situation evolves and whether it will impact Jamie Foxx's public image and career. The actor's decision to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution underscores the seriousness with which he and his team are approaching the allegations, setting the stage for a legal battle that will likely draw significant attention in the coming months.
