Jamie Foxx gave fans an update on his recovery in his first official video since his April hospitalization for what his daughter Corrine Foxx described at the time as “medical complication.”
In the Instagram video posted on Friday July 21, Jamie Foxx spoke about the seriousness of his condition when he was in the emergency clinic.
“I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through,” Foxx said, thanking fans for their prayers and messages.
He also explained why it took so long for fans to hear from him.
“I just didn’t want you to see me like that. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show. I just didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”
He also debunked rumours that the health related crisis left him paralyzed or blind.

“But I did go to hell and back,” he added. “My road to recovery had some potholes as well but I’m coming back, and I’m able to work.”
Foxx applauded his daughter Corinne as well as his sister, Deondra Dixon, for keeping his medical struggles very hidden.
“They didn’t let nothing out. They protected me,” he said.
‘I just want to say that I love everybody, and I love all the love that I got.” He ended the video message with “I am on my way back.”
The actor had not been seen since his April 11 hospitalization, until he was seen in Chicago in May going to an actual recovery office and recently, waving to fans from a boat.
