Jamie Foxx is finally breaking his silence and addressing his months-long silence following his medical emergency and hospitalization back in April.
The actor took to social media in a new emotional post early Saturday thanking his fans and family for their support, love, and prayers during this difficult time. While Foxx didn’t confirm what the medical emergency was, he did say he had been “to hell and back” in the emotional clip.
He also addressed his silence and thanked his family and team for keeping things airtight and not allowing any leaks to the media during his recovery.
“First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody that’s prayed, man, and sent me messages. 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 states in the video, posted to his Instagram on Friday evening. “I know a lot of people were waiting, wanting to hear updates. But, to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that, man. You know, I want you to see me laughing and having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie or television show. I 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. And to be honest with you, my sister, Deidra Dixon, and my daughter, Corinne Marie, saved my life. So to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video.”
