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 said to be improving following news earlier this week from his daughter that he was recovering from a medical complication.

A source told PEOPLE that the actor’s condition is steadily improving.

The Day Shift actor’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, informed fans of his health condition on Wednesday when she said that he sustained a medical complication the day before. However, she did not disclose what kind.

‘We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Corinne, 29, stated in a statement written on behalf of the Foxx family.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers,” the statement reads. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Foxx is currently filming his latest movie, Netflix’s Back in Action. But production was halted on Wednesday and resumed Thursday with a stand-in.
