Controversial Illinois Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has been accused of slapping her husband during a domestic dispute.

Police were called to Kim’s Flossmoor home on June 4 at around 10 p.m. by her husband Kelley Foxx, 48, who reported that his wife had slapped him.

There were no injuries or arrests made in connection with the incident. 

When officers arrived, Kelley, a public policy manager for Instacart in Chicago, reportedly told them: ‘Kimberly got mad about something that was posted on Facebook that he did.’

Kelley told police that Kim had asked him to leave – and things became physical after he refused.

A police report said that Kelley claimed Kim blocked him from leaving a bathroom, grabbed his collar and threw his video game controller on the ground. 

‘He tried to turn on the TV and Kimberly snatched the controller out of his hand and threw the controller,’ the report adds.

The officer in the report added that he could hear Kim reply ‘all that is true.’  

That’s when Kelley accused Kim of slapping across the left cheek, but the officer said there was no redness or swelling visible on his face to indicate being struck.

When he was informed of this, Kelley allegedly told the officer that he wanted to be left alone. 

‘She can’t come in my personal space and put her hands on me,’ Kelley said, according to the report.

‘I asked him to explain what is happening here meant and he said she is being physically aggressive. He added that he just wanted it to stop,’ the officer wrote.

Another officer spoke to Kim. The policeman claimed that she said the couple had an argument and wanted him to leave. She also claimed that she put her hands on her husband but to guide him out of the house, adding that she didn’t slap him.

The authorities spoke with the Foxx family’s 19-year-old daughter, who said she heard a disagreement but didn’t see anything.

Both told police they had been together over 20 years and things had never gotten physical. 

A source at Kim’s office told Fox News that they were made aware of the incident immediately and that they expect it to ‘go away.’ 

Foxx gained notoriety in 2019 when she dropped felony charges against Jussie Smollett, the Empire actor accused of staging a racist, homophobic attack on himself in January 2019. 

A special prosecutor’s report says that Foxx repeatedly misled the public about her office’s handling of the Smollett case and was responsible for ‘a major failure of operations’ in dismissing charges against the Empire actor states. 

Smollett, 39, was convicted in December 2021 this month of lying to police in January 2019 about what he said was a racist, homophobic attack in downtown Chicago. 

Kim Foxx: A timeline of controversial incidents

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has been on the end of several controversies during her tenure.

Jussie Smollett allegations: A 68-page confidential report detailing missteps and multiple instances of false statements made by Foxx and her prosecutors in the initial investigation of Smollett was released in December 2021. The special prosecutor handling the report said that Foxx may have violated legal ethics but neither her nor anyone in her office did anything criminal.

Criticizing Smollett’s 150-day prison sentence: Foxx claimed Jussie Smollett’s 150-day jail term is ‘mob justice’ and an example of the system failing. Writing for The Chicago Sun Times, she called the case a ‘damaging, costly, and disingenuous criminal prosecution of Jussie Smollett’ and said that Smollett was presumed guilty from the beginning, ignoring whether or not he actually committed the crime that Judge James Linn said in his sentencing amounted to ‘astounding hypocrisy’.

Donations from liberal billionaire George Soros: Soros, the most prolific Democratic donor, is most known for giving to Presidents Clinton and Obama but he has also been pumping money into a far-left effort to overhaul the criminal justice system by giving millions to a network of woke prosecutors in Democratic races. In 2020, Soros donated $2million to a PAC that backed Foxx in her re-election campaign.

Chicago crime rate: In 2021, there were more murders in Chicago than in any other year since 1994. There were more than 1,000 murders in Cook County, Foxx’s district, that year. Soros bolstered her re-election campaign by donating to the Illinois Justice and Public Safety PAC.
