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.

Fox needs to see a shrink. He really gives bad vibes to his heritage.

This is in response to the white hood wearer JEFF. Do your homework before you try to insult blacks. There are more white people on welfare than blacks.
39% White
38% Black
12% Hispanic

So take that back to your next skin head rally.

Why don't we factor in Jail and unemployment and then redo the numbers. Bet they tell quite a different story.

By brooks a diggans

hey never liked this guy always thought he couldn't act. but what the hey he is what he is! no a account

Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that you don't really see " white" people stand up for somebody like "Charlie" just because of his skin color. A couple of weeks ago nobody said his color had anything to do with his situation.

BUT (watch for the double standard here)if a "bro" finds himself in a similar way EVERY F__Kin" do gooder in the book ( AL, Jessie and crew) are crying foul, inequality, Poor us and evil them. Oh feel sorry for me some more. Poor me poor my only goes so many decades. Time to stand up dust off and move on.

ENOUGH of this reverse racist S__T! We are all equal let's act like it!

By Griff

Yes Case, its true there are more Whites on welfare than Blacks. But considering Whites are still the majority and have lost more jobs it makes sense.But 38% of a minority on Welfare sounds like you got us beat.

Foxx doesn't know how to behave. He's nothing but a howling monkey

hey mr rick you are a racist punk. the fact is that balcks have done more to bring down our american society rather than be a positive force in it. Look at crime, single mothers, drugs...etc, who are the main cuplrits. stop looking to deflect blame and accountability. look in the mirror pal . As for jamie fox he like you are the lowest of the low.

Mr. Mike......I don't know where you get your information, but pedophilia, child molesters, etc, are not limited to any one race or culture. It is a crying shame that what should be a reasonable dialogue deteiorats into muc-slinging and name-calling. How are we ever going to have an understandintg amongst the diverse peoples who make up this great country if we cannot get past all this. Which brush would you like everyone to use to paint you? Sheer Silliness! Now, apologize and behave yourself.

43 years old and fighting at a vodka launch party at a club. What a life! I gave up acting like a d-bag when I was a college sophomore (19 years old). Somebody should tell this guy its time to be a man.

All this racism is amazing to me. Jamie Foxx is immature, bottom line. Race has nothing to do with it. Why does everybody blame things on skin color? As longs as you (white or black) hold hatred within your heart, you will never advance as a human being. We are all Americans and we need to stand united.

Who up here never got in a fight get real!

All them white so call actor's alway's in some mess yet you clowns can talk this bull****?

By Bob

Foxx is just another Kanye West kind of anti-white racist. With both these narcisstic lowlife guys it's always put in the face of the public.

By John

mr.Rick.. Your one angry black man. Then again I would be angry if I were black.

In Jersey a BLACK 15yr old girl pimped out her BLACK 7yr old sister. 5 to 7 black kids and adults had sex with the child.
Is that part of the black culture???????

By joyrptr

"Then again I would be angry if I were black."

Huh, maybe you should just be angry at being so ignorant....
