The mystery behind Foxx’s health issues has left fans confused and wondering what happened. Here is what exactly happened to Jamie Foxx.
When It All Started
News about Foxx’s health scares started last April when his daughter, Corinne Foxx, shared a statement on Instagram, which has been deleted since then, where she announced that Foxx had some “medical complication.” At that time, several sources said to multiple outlets that Foxx’s health was in danger and that what he went through was serious; at least, serious enough to make family members out of towncome to the hospitalwhere he was being held.

This wasn’t the first time that Foxx was hospitalized as he was also hospitalized when he was a teenager. However, this time made people worry even more about the actor’s health. We then saw several actors sharing prayers that Foxx gets well soon, including Viola Davis whoshared a post on Instagramwhere she wrote “Get well @iamjamiefoxx. We need you…. your light, your brilliance.”
Jamie Foxx Slowly Getting Better
Days after the news broke out, we started to hear confirmation that Foxx was hospitalized, but he was getting better slowly. With more prayers being shared for the actor, it was announced that he was awake and alert. However, the days that followed this news also included several sources close to the actor and his family that stated that he still needed prayers.
After a few days filled with worry, the actor’s fans got a much-needed update as Foxxtook it to Instagram to sharehow he “Appreciate[d] all the love!!! Feeling blessed.” This update definitely helped everyone to calm down a little bit.
A Much-Needed Update
After about two months that werefilled with worry and speculation, we got to hear a much-needed update from Foxx himself. The actor shared a few wordsin a video on Instagramwhere he talked about what he went through. Before Foxx talked about what happened, there were many rumors that were being spread including that the actor was blind and paralyzed. Thankfully, we see Foxx in the video denying all these claims and even joking about them which made us feel like we have gotten our favorite actor back and he is alive and well.
He thanked his fans and also described how he felt and what he went through. He stated, “I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through.”

The actor also shared how he was thankful for his family who “protected” him, “kept it airtight,” and “didn’t let nothing out.” He also continued by saying “I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”
One of the actor’s most recent updates was on August 17 whenhe shared another Instagram postwhere he wrote, “finally startin to feel like myself … it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light… I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers… I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD.”
What Happened to Jamie Foxx?
There has been much speculation surrounding Foxx’s health and what exactly happened to him. Since last April, when it was announced that he was ill, people have been guessing what happened or what illness he had.
Some even went on to falsely claim that the actor had a stroke because of blood clots. Others said that he was partially blind and paralyzed. While some wanted to support their agendas and claimed that he had a stroke because of the vaccine. All these theories were denied by Foxx’s family and we even saw Foxx making fun of the claims that he went blind and was paralyzed.
The only thing we do know for sure about Foxx’s health is that he had a “medical complication” and nothing else. Neither the actor nor his family stated more than that or specified what happened to him or even confirmed any of the rumors surrounding him. Therefore, we can’t really know what happened or how he has gotten sick. We simply know that he “went to hell and back” that is how sick the actor was.
We are thankful that Foxx is doing a lot better now andis returning slowly to work. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for us now that he is feeling better.
