Jamie Foxx's Offstage Brawl Disrupts Usher Show

By Christine Fenno Posted Feb 12th 2011 01:08PM

Usher was on the job Thursday night inside a crowded Los Angeles nightclub, giving a live performance at a vodka launch party, when two scuffling fans just about upstaged his concert.

Celebs in the stunned audience of 1,200 reportedly included Jenny McCarthy, Joe Jonas, Ryan Phillippe, Adam Lambert and 'DWTS' star Cheryl Burke.

And their shock probably had something to do with who was fighting: Oscar winner Jamie Foxx caused the commotion, according to RadarOnline, when an altercation with a former manager turned physical, midway through Usher's set.

A source on the scene says the brawl then "spilled to the outside area," and soon "security intervened. ... After some cops approached, both men seemed to make up with one another before they left."

No charges have been filed. The actor's rep has not commented on the incident.

After the fight broke up, Foxx reportedly left the venue scowling. "I don't know what the guy said to Jamie Foxx, but he was really p**sed," said the witness.

Back in 2004, Foxx, now 43, got into trouble with the law, charged with disturbing the peace (he was ultimately placed on probation) after he and his sister tangled with security guards at a New Orleans casino, and allegedly resisted arrest.

Last year, the busy performer (who earned an Oscar for 2004's 'Ray') won a Grammy for his T-Pain collaboration, 'Blame It.' This month, Foxx has been promoting his new family-friendly movie 'Rio,' in which he voices the role of a small yellow canary. He's also appearing in the upcoming Jennifer Aniston comedy 'Horrible Bosses,' as a character named Motherf**ka Jones.

@Terry and Mike,

If you're going to insult black people, at least learn correct grammar and spelling.

P.S. Where is the great rock music? Ask Kurt Cobain. He destroyed rock. Furthermore, Metallica cut their hair, purchased monkey suits and went after napster instead of being rockstars.

The media is all over Lindsey Lohan but let
this low life get by. Jamie Foxx is a racist
and the media lightly mentioned him and his
cronies when they degraded Miley Cyrus.

Willy B. Strikes again.

C'mon. The guy spells his name "Foxx". Double X. That alone is silly enough. He came out in support of Mike Vick after Mike's scandal broke by saying that dogfighting was a "cultural thing" with black Americans - and that people just didn't understand. He picked on an admittedly misguided Miley Cyrus by talking about her in a sexual context and being a crackhead. When she was underage. He has multiple problems with the law, and multiple children with different women in his past.

This guy is pathetic. When you think about all the great black actors, artists, businesspeople, and role models out there; it's just that much worse. The fact that this guy even manges to get any press or keep getting paid at all has more to do with racists (of all colors) in the media industry hoping he'll have an epic flameout and put some coin in their pockets than it ever did with his tiny shred of talent.

Ignorance is bliss, apparently...RaAAaaaacist!

Many more whites on welfare than blacks. You should know that considering your'e the recipent of it. My black tax money helps out uneducated, drug addicted, ignorant rednecks, like yourself.

By j4brack

I do think the guy could be a little more subdued, but over all, he's a likeable guy...don't know what caused the brawl,he has a right to defend himself..no matter where he's at!

By Vinnie

This idiot is too old to be acting like that- so freaking arrogant and so full of himself. He was like a little girl whining and pleading for them to give him that Oscar- only gave it to him to shut him the f*ck up.

By arlissholmes

This shouldn't surprise anybody, except those who think the abnormally high number of blacks incarcerated is just another racist thing.

By WT

Foxx needs a good old fashion butt whipping. He's just another Hollowood millionaire who thinks he is better than the rest of us.

Color me surprised!
