Jamie Foxx is denying the accusations in opposition to him.
As we beforehand reported, a lady recognized as Jane Doe filed a lawsuit in opposition to the 55-year-old actor on Wednesday. She claimed he sexually assaulted her on the restaurant Catch NYC & Roof in August 2015, placing his fingers on and in her vagina and anus with out her consent. So, so terrible. And now, Jamie lastly broke his silence concerning the lawsuit.
A spokesperson for the Blame It singer denied the allegations in a press release to Deadline on Thursday, noting {that a} related swimsuit was filed by the identical girl after which dismissed three years in the past:
“In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. 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.”

Hmm. However, Michael S. Lamonsoff — who’s representing the plaintiff — has since fired again on the accusations from Jamie. On Saturday, he claimed to Deadline the accusations {that a} lawsuit was filed in opposition to him and dismissed “are baseless and untrue,” stating:
“Our client and our firm will not be intimidated by Jamie Foxx’s age-old tactic of lies and threats against survivors of sexual assault. Foxx’s allegations that a ‘frivolous’ lawsuit was filed against him and dismissed in 2020 are baseless and untrue. Although our client sought justice by coming to our firm, unfortunately, the Adult Survivor’s Act (ASA) had not passed yet as deliberations were ongoing in the State legislature. Thankfully, the ASA was passed, allowing our client to demand accountability for the abuse and mental anguish she had endured since the time of this heinous assault.”
He continued:
“The ASA was passed to breathe new life into cases that had reached the statute of limitations. It has become a key tool for sexual abuse survivors to seek justice through the legal system, regardless of when the alleged abuse occurred. During the past 12 months, thousands of sexual abuse survivors have bravely come forward to hold their perpetrators accountable. This one-year claim window for survivors is insufficient. The scars from sexual abuse have no time limits. The time for change is now. There should be no statute of limitations for any form of sexual assault or abuse. Those responsible must face consequences, especially those using their celebrity status to victimize others.”
We’ll should see what occurs subsequent on this authorized battle. But what are your ideas on the assertion from Jamie, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF within the feedback (under)!
