At the center of it all is a phallic laser pointer Jamie Foxx argument over a birthday dinner, and it turns out his beef was with people from the ‘Jackass’ franchise’s production company … TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge told TMZ … Jamie became upset during a night out at Mr. Chow’s in Bev Hills when someone from a private party in the upstairs VIP area pointed a laser at his table, projecting an image of a penis.
We’re told Jamie was particularly upset because his kids were at the table, and he felt the image was disturbing — so he went upstairs to the VIP room and asked the people up there to stop it, making it clear that he it’s not I don’t find their joke funny.
Our sources say the VIP room was rented out Friday night by Dickhouse Productions, which is owned and operated Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze of ‘Jackass’ fame.
We’re told none of the ‘Jackass’ stars were at the holiday party … instead, the group included crew members who work for the production company.
A person who attended Jamie’s birthday party tells TMZ … Jamie had about 50 people at his table, and it was a serious affair aimed at celebrating his second chance at life after his stroke.
We’re told people at the holiday party in the VIP room sent Jamie a drink earlier that night, which he accepted but didn’t drink — he doesn’t consume alcohol these days — and the waiter later told Jamie, “They’re waving at you, wave back.” and directed him to the VIP section where 12 guys were trying to get his attention.
Jamie’s dinner guest says the table was confused by people from the holiday party who laughed during this exchange … until they noticed a penis-shaped laser beaming from their table.
The stunt set Jamie off – we’re told he exclaimed: “In front of my daughters?”

Our sources say Jamie, along with some friends, went to the VIP to ask the guys why they did it … and things escalated.
We’re told the “Jackass Forever” cast member allegedly threw a thick glass that ended up hitting Jamie in the face, and cutting his mouth.
Our sources say Jamie stood bleeding and said: “It’s my birthday, what about you?” We’re told JF quickly left the restaurant to get stitches.
Now, a source close to the ‘Jackass’ crew says that Jamie had backup with him when he went upstairs, and that there was a tense — and at times physical — confrontation between the sides.

lawyer Bryan Freedmanwho represents Dickhouse Productions, tells TMZ … “While the crew has the utmost respect for Jamie, the version of events presented is completely inaccurate and deeply unfair to those who attended their holiday celebration that night.”
After Jamie left, we’re told the private party continued to be aggressive with Jamie’s friends … and the staff of Mr. Chow eventually called the police.

Jamie wasn’t there to speak to officers at the restaurant, but we’re told he has since spoken to police about the incident.
Police sources told TMZ… the cops heard people from the ‘Jackass’ production company we’re involved in, but the police haven’t confirmed that information, and the investigation is still ongoing, so far no arrests have been made.
