Jamie Foxx: 5 things you need to know about his health condition
1. Jamie Foxx's Hospitalization in Atlanta
As everyone is aware, on April 11, 2023, Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in Atlanta, Georgia. This happened while he was filming on the set of his upcoming project for Apple TV. It was reported to be an undisclosed medical complication and no official news about what exactly happened to him is not known yet.
The incident received quite a lot of attention along with prayers from die-hard fans and well-wishers of Jamie Foxx. However, his daughter, Corinne Foxx, later assured everyone that he is perfectly fine and had been out of the hospital for weeks and was recuperating well.
As of May 3, 2023, Jamie Foxx finally was seen to break his silence on the hospitalization and he expressed his gratitude towards his fans for the support he received in the hard time.
His Instagram post said: "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed."
People who have been following the news and were concerned about his health commented on the post expressing their love and blessing towards their favorite actor.
2. Rehabilitation treatment in Chicago
Following his days at the hospital, Jamie Foxx has been reported to be undergoing some sort of medical treatment which is taking place at a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago. The facility he is admitted to specializes in rehabilitation care for certain patients who possess physical impairments, brain injuries, and spine injuries.
As part of his recovery process, Jamie Foxx has been receiving physical therapy treatment at the renowned rehabilitation facility. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, strength, and overall well-being after medical complications or injuries. Foxx's dedication to rehabilitation demonstrates his commitment to regaining optimal health.
3. Statements from Corinne Foxx
Corinne Foxx also got dragged into the limelight regarding her father's hospitalization right after she posted an update about his health as she has been providing all the updates on her father's health through her Instagram stories.
In these updates, she expressed gratitude for the support and prayers her father received, debunking rumors and assuring everyone that her father has been out of the hospital for weeks and is recuperating well. The Instagram story came out as a relief for the fans and well-wishers who had been worried about Jamie.
Foxx is on to a collaboration with Corinne Foxx on a brand new music-centric game show called We Are Family. The show is all set to premiere in 2024 on the US network Fox. The show will be featuring several hidden celebrities and their relatives who would be performing in front of a live studio audience comprising 100 contestants.
The contestants are supposed to guess the identity of the hidden celebrities for a chance to win a $100,000 grand prize. This project marks the second collaboration between Jamie and Corinne, as they previously have been together in the music-based game show Beat Shazam.
4. Debunking the COVID conspiracy theory
Despite Foxx's representative's statement, some conspiracy theorists have blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his medical emergency. They argue that Foxx's illness was a result of the vaccine's adverse side effects. However, there is no such evidence that can readily support this claim.
In fact, Jamie Foxx's representatives have not released any information regarding his vaccination status or even talk about the conspiracy theories that have been going around. Furthermore, medical professionals have clearly stated that the COVID vaccine's side effects are quite rare and usually mild.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the risk of blood clots or brain bleeding is extremely rare after COVID-19 vaccination. The most important thing to keep in mind while talking about this is to understand the side effects occur within a specific period of time and usually it happens under strict medical guidance. So it is fair to say the COVID conspiracy theory is nowhere near being true.
5. Debunking the ruptured brain aneurysms conspiracy theory
Another theory that has been circulating amidst Foxx's medical emergency is that he suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. While this is a possibility, it is important to note that ruptured brain aneurysms are rare and usually occur in individuals over the age of 40.
Furthermore, there is no evidence to suggest that Foxx had a ruptured brain aneurysm. If he did, it is unlikely that he would have been released from the hospital after only three weeks. He is completely fine which has been confirmed by Corinne Foxx as they are enjoying family time together.
Conclusion
Foxx's representatives released a statement confirming that the actor was "in stable condition" after a three-week-long hospitalization. Even his own daughter, Corinne Foxx uploaded an Instagram story where she clearly stated her father is completely fine at the very moment.
Hopefully, the media and the fans will receive a proper report from their favorite actor’s representatives and family members. Jamie would be active as before on his social media once he gets his health fully regenerated and hopefully fans would be able to see him in action soon.
As time passed by Jamie Foxx has been receiving countless blessings for a speedy recovery from whatever he might have suffered from, which seemed to have been granted.
