                                Jamie Foxx Sued By Bartender

Jamie Foxx can literally blame this one on the alcohol. TMZ.com is reporting that the actor and “Blame It On The Alcohol” singer is being sued by a man who was bartending at a party Foxx hosted in 2007. According to court documents, William Presler claims that drunk party-goers were dropping their drinks all over the bar, spreading shattered glass everywhere. Instead of cleaning up the mess, Presler says his boss preferred to just sweep the glass along the side of the bar. Later in the evening, Presler slipped and injured himself on the collection of glass. He wound up needing 170 stitches to repair the damage to the severed nerves in his left hand. Presler, who has a degree in neuroscience, claims the injury has prevented him from pursuing his dream career as a brain surgeon. It is not yet known how much Presler is suing for. Controversy has been following Jamie Foxx over the past few weeks. He recently had to apologize for making inappropriate comments about teen star Miley Cyrus on his radio show.
