Get to Know Jamie Foxx’s Latest Health Update

After months of confusion, misinformation, and speculation, fans of  Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx now have another update on his recovery.

On the BET Awards red carpet, Porscha Coleman, who starred opposite Foxx in the Netflix sitcom Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, offered an update on the Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate. 

“I’ve talked to people very close to Foxx, [he] is doing well,” she said. “I hate that the media outlets kept running with the narrative of what was going on without having the proper information.”

On April 12, Corinne Foxx, Foxx’s daughter and Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! executive producer, revealed that her father experienced a medical complication and is already on his way to recovery. 

In early May, a whirlwind of rumors about Foxx’s health reached a crescendo this week as ran wild on social media that the actor is on his deathbed.

Foxx’s daughter took to Instagram to set the record straight with a very surprising update, saying: “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!”.

Earlier this month, a claim that the Academy Award winner was dying was hospitalized after he was seriously injured by a Covid vaccine has gone massively viral.

Foxx’s representatives have denied unsubstantiated claims that the “Blame It” singer was recuperating from a negative reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Speculation about Foxx’s condition intensified as he and his family kept silent. 

“One thing about Jamie is that he’s always valued his privacy. If you’ve noticed, Jamie Foxx has always been on the low,” Coleman noted. 

“Even when it came to dating, Jamie’s always been private, so it never surprised me. Once I heard the news, of course, I reached out, but how Foxx is doing it is how Foxx should be doing it. He’s resting, he’s well. And he’s going to be back. Trust and believe.”

Last week, Foxx’s most recent movie an action thriller titled "God Is A Bullet" received a theatrical release. He is also set to star in and Netflix sci-fi comedy-mystery "They Cloned Tyrone!" (July 21) and theatrical comedy "Strays" (Aug. 18). 

“I know he’s doing great and he’ll be back, trust and believe. He got a lot of projects coming up, a lot of music that I already know he has. So, I’m excited. I love you Foxx!” Coleman stated.
