Guest Stabbed In The Neck At Jamie Foxx’s SKVLK Fest — Deputies Cleared The Mansion
Jamie Foxx’s annual Halloween festival ended with sheriff’s deputies clearing hundreds of guests off his property Saturday night, after a man was reportedly stabbed in the neck during the party.
The party was SKVLK Fest — pronounced “skulk” — the Halloween-themed music festival held every year at Foxx’s mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, and organized by his 18-year-old daughter, Anelise. This year’s lineup brought out Tyga, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red, Leon Thomas and more, with carnival rides set up around the estate. The festival had already been pushed back from Halloween night because of rain.
According to TMZ, which first reported the incident on Sunday, deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office were called to the mansion while the festival was in full swing. A man had been stabbed in the neck and suffered a superficial wound; paramedics treated him at the scene.
A spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office confirmed deputies responded to a party call at the home and that a juvenile was arrested. Law enforcement sources told TMZ a male suspect was also arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Video from outside the property showed several people in handcuffs as deputies directed the crowd of attendees to leave.
The detail making the rounds: signs posted around the property for the event stated that attendees could not bring real or fake weapons onto the grounds — not even as part of a Halloween costume.
Foxx has not commented on the incident. His posts from the night stayed celebratory — he shared footage of OhGeesy performing and praised his daughter, writing: “@skvlkfest is on Fuego. @anelisefoxx has done it again!!!! and just getting started.” It has not been confirmed whether Foxx himself was at the mansion when the stabbing happened, and neither the victim nor the suspect has been publicly identified.
It is the second straight year SKVLK Fest has been disrupted — at last year’s edition, a bottle was thrown toward a performer during the show.
Nobody was seriously hurt this time. But when a party with a posted no-weapons rule still ends with a stabbing and deputies shutting the gates, the security questions are going to follow this festival into next year.
