Kim Foxx indicated she did not feel unsafe in the home, and that they both said “things have never been physical” in their relationship, the report state, according to the website.
Police “did not see any evidence to support an arrest in this incident.”
Foxx was at the center of controversy over her role in the Jussie Smollett case. Foxx refused to prosecute the case, leading to an outbreak of anger and eventually the appointment of a special prosecutor who later charged Smollett.
He was convicted on charges that he lied to police when he claimed he was assaulted in 2019. Smollett’s conviction has been appealed.
