In a recent development, actor Jamie Foxx has vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault made against him at Catch NYC & Roof in August 2015. The claims surfaced after the accuser filed a lawsuit against Foxx earlier this week.

A spokesperson for the Oscar winner responded to the allegations, stating, "The alleged incident never happened." Foxx's representative further revealed that a similar lawsuit had been filed by the same individual in 2020 in Brooklyn, which was subsequently dismissed shortly after.

Foxx's spokesperson went on to state that the actor intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against his accuser and her attorneys for re-filing what they deem a "frivolous action."

The woman, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, alleged that Foxx inappropriately touched her during a photo-op at the venue. She claimed that an intoxicated Foxx placed his hands on her waist and then moved them under her top to rub her breasts. The alleged assault allegedly escalated when Foxx allegedly placed his hands into her pants, touching her vagina and anus.

While the incident reportedly took place almost a decade ago, the woman was able to file her case under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows alleged victims of sexual offenses to pursue civil suits, even if the statute of limitations has expired. It is worth noting that this law is set to expire on Friday.

Page Six reached out to representatives at Catch for a comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing.

The woman stated in the lawsuit that she had to seek medical treatment and suffered emotional distress as a result of the alleged incident of sexual assault, abuse, assault, and battery.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Jamie Foxx remains firm in his denial of the allegations while expressing his intention to pursue legal action against his accuser for malicious prosecution. The outcome of this case will undoubtedly be closely monitored by the entertainment industry and the public alike.
