Jamie Foxx Breaks Silence on Mysterious Illness: ‘I Did Go to Hell and Back’

Jamie Foxx has made his first statement since he was hospitalized for an unspecified illness in April. The actor, who teased “BIG things coming soon” in an Instagram post on Thursday, has returned to social media with a video shedding a light on his sickness.

“I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through,” Foxx said, speaking to his followers via a front-facing Instagram reel posted Friday night. “I know a lot of people were waiting and wanted to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that, man. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie or a television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me.”

Foxx was hospitalized in April with a “medical complication.” His daughter, Corinne Foxx, had announced on Instagram at the time, who said he was “already on his way to recovery.”
