‘I went to hell and back’Jamie Foxx Speaks Out About Medical Scare for First Time

In his first public statement since his hospitalization due to a mysterious “medical complication” back in April, Jamie Foxx candidly shared his harrowing experience, describing it as going through “hell and back.” The 55-year-old Oscar winner, visibly emotional, spoke in a heartfelt video posted on Instagram on Friday night.

Foxx, with tears in his eyes, revealed that he had undergone a challenging and unexpected ordeal, something he never thought he would have to endure. He reassured his 16 million followers that he is not blind or paralyzed, dispelling some of the speculations about his condition.

The actor acknowledged that many were eager for an update but admitted that he didn’t want his fans to see him in such a vulnerable state. Instead, he wished to be seen in happier times, laughing, joking, working on movies or television shows.

While Foxx did not disclose the specific details of his illness, he did mention that he is now “on the road to recovery” thanks to the support of his family, the medical professionals who cared for him, and his faith in God.

Although his close ones had kept the cause of his hospitalization private, his daughter, Corinne, previously mentioned that her famous father fell ill during the production of his upcoming movie, “Back in Action.” Foxx had briefly acknowledged the overwhelming support from fans via Instagram in May, expressing his blessings.
