Jamie Foxx Through The Years
View GalleryJamie’s post comes four months after his daughter Corinne Foxx confirmed that he had suffered a “medical complication.”
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers,” she wrote in part in a statement on Instagram at the time.
The following month, Jamie shared his first update since the health emergency. “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” he wrote on Instagram, adding prayer hands and fox emojis.
Jamie shared his first video message on the matter in July, giving some insight into his unspecified health condition and explaining why he didn’t initially give fans updates.
“I went through something that I thought I’d never, ever go through,” he reflected. “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.”
The 55-year-old went on to thank his sister Deidra Dixon and daughter Corrine for saving his life. He also took the opportunity to shut down swirling rumors about his health.
“Now, you know, by being quiet sometimes things get out of hand,” he said. “People saying what I got, some people said I was blind, but as you can see … the eyes are working just fine. Said I’m paralyzed — I’m not paralyzed.”
However, Jamie admitted he did go “to hell and back” and revealed there is still healing to be done.
“My road to recovery had some potholes as well. But I’m coming back. And I’m able to work,” he said.
