Jamie Foxx is facing a lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman at a New York City restaurant in 2015, but he's strongly denying these claims. His spokesperson told PEOPLE that the alleged incident never occurred, referring to a similar lawsuit filed in 2020 in Brooklyn that was dismissed. They believe this new claim will also be dismissed and plan to sue for malicious prosecution. The lawsuit was filed in the New York Supreme Court. According to the documents, the woman, referred to as Jane Doe, claims the incident happened at Catch NYC in August 2015. She alleges that after asking Foxx for a picture, he appeared drunk and began making comments about her appearance. The lawsuit says he then led her to a secluded area, touched her inappropriately, and only stopped when her friend returned. The lawsuit also mentions that a security guard witnessed the incident but didn't help. It was filed on the last day allowed by New York’s Adult Survivors Act, a law that gave sexual assault victims a one-year window to sue, regardless of when the assault happened. Jane Doe claims she's suffered physically and emotionally, including anxiety and economic harm, and is seeking damages for her pain and suffering, as well as punitive damages.

Jamie Foxx is being sued over claims that he sexually assaulted someone on a rooftop in New York City back in 2015, according to TMZ.

According to the lawsuit, the incident happened at Catch NYC & Roof. The person suing, who arrived around 11 PM, noticed Foxx sitting nearby.

Later, at about 1 AM, after agreeing to take a photo with her and her friend, the lawsuit alleges that Foxx, appearing drunk, made inappropriate comments and then forcibly touched her in a sexual manner.

The accuser states that she tried to get away and that some people, including a security guard, saw what was happening but did nothing.

The lawsuit claims that she was physically hurt and emotionally traumatized by the incident, and is now suing Foxx and the venue, Catch NYC, for damages.
