What’s Really Going On With Jamie Foxx?

One minute they’re prepared for the worst and the next he’s home doing fine. Something isn’t right here.

What’s Really Going On With Jamie Foxx?

Jamie Foxx’s medical mystery continues. The 55-year-old actor was hospitalized with a "mystery illness" for almost a month over a "medical complication" while working on a new Netflix movie set.

Or so we thought… The actor’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, shared an update on her Instagram story. Jamie Foxx has “been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!”

Full statement:

Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support! We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!

What’s odd is that news outlets have been reporting on his hospitalization for weeks. On May 3, 2023 People reported that Foxx was “still in the hospital” and “awake and alert.”

That same day Jamie Foxx thanked his fans for all their support:

Just the other day, May 9, there was a report that his family was preparing for the worst:

And just hours ago, People magazine posted a front-page article saying that friends were rallying around Jamie Foxx asking for prayers. This led many of his famous friends to publicly send their prayers. Kid Cudi, Tyler the Creator, James Woods, and more took to social media to voice their well-wishes.

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III asked his Twitter followers on Wednesday to "please send a prayer up for Jamie Foxx and his family."

What’s really going on with Foxx?

For weeks, people have been praying for a man who they believed had been hospitalized for over a month. However, it has now been revealed that he was actually released from the hospital weeks ago.

One would think that he would have the common courtesy to let his millions of fans who are praying for him know that he is doing better. Or possibly correct the hundreds, if not thousands, of ‘false’ news reports.

For those who are interested, it has been reported that Jamie Foxx suffered a stroke and has a history of high blood pressure. His vaccination status has not been confirmed, but the projects he has worked on have required vaccinations for cast and crew. Foxx has also required vaccinations at his public events. It is likely he is vaccinated.

Strokes in younger people are concerning, as the average age of a stroke in the United States is 74. Jamie Foxx is 55. I do believe Foxx has a duty to tell the public if his stroke was vaccine-related.

One minute they’re prepared for the worst and the next he’s home doing fine. Something isn’t right here. At the very least, Jamie Foxx should address the rumors about his hospitalization and let his fans know that he is no longer in the hospital.

I respect his right to privacy but there is still some responsibility to the people who prayed and supported you.

Why the secrecy?

You bring up an interesting point here, Dr. Panda, related to his responsibility to report on his status & if it is related to the vaccine. As we all vividly recall, Hollywood & its minions did anything & everything to push this vaccine. I am pretty sure there were a lot of people on his sets/audience who didn’t want it, but took it at their insistence. To cop out now using the privacy claim is criminal as far as I am concerned.

If he's been out of the hospital "for weeks" and is well enough to play pickleball, why is he not on the movie set fulfilling his contract?
