Nov 22 (Reuters) - Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in New York City on Wednesday that alleges he groped a woman at a rooftop bar and restaurant in Manhattan in August 2015.
Foxx's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages.
The actor is best known for his Academy Award-winning portrayal of singer Ray Charles in the 2004 film "Ray."
Music industry veteran Jimmy Iovine was likewise sued on Wednesday by an woman claiming he sexually abused her.
In the Iovine complaint filed in New York state court in Manhattan, a woman identified only as "Jane Doe" said she was sexually abused, forcibly touched and subject to sexual harassment and retaliation in August 2007.
