Ventura County Sheriff's deputies were called to Jamie Foxx's Thousand Oaks mansion on Saturday, Nov. 7, while Skvlk Fest was underway. A man was reportedly stabbed in the neck and suffered a superficial wound, and paramedics treated him at the scene.
Why it matters
The incident occurred at a high-profile music festival hosted at a celebrity residence, raising questions about security at private events. Signs posted at the property stated attendees could not bring real or fake weapons.
Skvlk Fest was originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, before being postponed due to rain. Last year, a guest threw a glass bottle at rapper GloRilla during the festival.

Legal Context
Last year's Skvlk Fest saw a guest throw a glass bottle at GloRilla, an incident that prompted scrutiny of crowd control at the event. The Nov. 7 stabbing report raises similar questions about how celebrity-hosted festivals enforce their weapons policies.
Attendees of Skvlk Fest should review the event's posted policies on weapons before future visits. Festival organizers have postponed events due to weather, so ticket holders should watch for updates on rescheduled dates.
The takeaway
Event security policies only work when they are enforced at the door, and the repeated incidents at Skvlk Fest show why attendees should expect bag and weapons checks at celebrity-hosted gatherings.
