Friends of actor Jamie Foxx, and his daughter Corinne, have been speaking out to quell rumors online and in the media about his recent hospitalization and medical condition.
According to ENews on May 15, Garcelle Beauvais, Jamie Foxx’s friend and an alumnus of the Jamie Foxx Show, has reported that the actor is doing well and recovering.
As reported by TMZ, Foxx is receiving rehab in a facility in Chicago and has been visited by family there.
Jamie Foxx himself recently spoke out, with a heartfelt message to all his fans.
After being hospitalized recently due to a “medical complication,” the legendary Oscar winner took to Instagram to share a message. He wrote, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.”
In his Instagram story, Foxx gave a shout out to Nick Cannon, who will be stepping in as the host of Beat Shazam, the game show hosted by Foxx. Jamie showed his appreciation for Nick, and told his fans that he would see them soon.
Foxx’s hospitalization shocked movie fans, and people have been anxiously waiting for his speedy recovery. Although not much information about the actor’s condition has been publicly available, his fans look forward to Foxx returning to his hosting duties.
Jamie’s daughter, Corinne, also joined in on Instagram. She shared her dad’s post on her Instagram story and added a sweet note, saying, “Thanks for the love!”
A few weeks ago, on April 12, Corinne announced that her dad had a medical complication while filming the Netflix movie Back in Action, starring Glenn Close and Cameron Diaz. Thanks to quick action and excellent care, she said he was on the road to recovery.
Good news came later when sources revealed that Jamie’s health was improving. Although he was still in the hospital under observation, he was awake and alert. The doctors were running tests, but he was in good hands. Soon after, production on the Netflix movie resumed, with Jamie’s stunt and photo doubles helping out while he recovered.
While Nick Cannon takes over hosting duties on Beat Shazam during Jamie’s recovery, Kelly Osbourne will step into the show’s DJ booth, a position previously held by Foxx’s daughter Corinne.
On Friday, May 12, Jamie Foxx’s daughter made another announcement on Instagram, setting the record straight about his recent hospitalization. She said he has been out of the hospital for weeks already and is recuperating. She thanked everyone for their support and prayers and said there would be further updates. To add impact to her post, she said, “In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!”
