The woman who recently filed a lawsuit against Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, alleging sexual assault dating back to 2015, has pleaded with the court to protect her identity out of fear for her safety. Court documents obtained by Radar Online reveal that the plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, emphasized the sensitivity of the matter and the emotional toll it has taken on her since the lawsuit became public.
In the documents, Jane Doe stated, “I was sexually assaulted as indicated in the Complaint and as a result, I suffered psychological and emotional injuries.” She expressed her reluctance to disclose her identity publicly due to the sensitive nature of the case, compounded by the prominence and celebrity status of the defendant, Jamie Foxx.
The unidentified woman’s fear for her safety escalated after the case garnered widespread media coverage, with major news outlets reporting on the allegations against Foxx. Jane Doe expressed her difficulty in coming forward and sharing details about the alleged assault, citing concerns about potential emotional trauma resulting from public disclosure.
The plaintiff highlighted the impact of the sexual assault on her mental health, stating, “The sexual assault I suffered has caused my depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, distress, and I am fearful that a public disclose will cause further emotional trauma.” She concluded by expressing her desire to avoid the stigma associated with being a sexual assault victim.
Jamie Foxx’s representatives have not yet responded to the request for comment. In the lawsuit, Jane Doe accused Foxx of inappropriate touching at Catch rooftop in New York City in 2015. The plaintiff claimed that Foxx, allegedly intoxicated at the time, touched her inappropriately after a photo-op request. Foxx’s spokesperson has vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that the incident never happened and characterizing the claims as non-viable and frivolous.
Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against Jane Doe, considering the alleged incident as a rehashing of previously dismissed claims. Despite the eight-year gap since the incident, Jane Doe was able to file her complaint within the timeframe allowed by New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which permits alleged victims of sexual offenses to file civil suits even if the statute of limitations has expired.
