Jamie Foxx took to Instagram to finally open up about a medical complication that put him in the hospital nearly four months ago. On Friday night, July 21, he posted a video to his page to thank his friends, family, and fans for all their ongoing support, and to explain what he had endured during his recovery.
"First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody that prayed and sent me messages," Foxx began his video. "I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back." He then went on to explain why he had kept so quiet about his health during this ordeal.
"I went through something I thought I would never, ever go through," he said. "I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn't want you to see me like that. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure if I was going to make it through."
Foxx credited his daughter, sister, medical team, and God for keeping him alive, and for keeping his condition a secret from the public. He expressed how grateful he was for the support he received, and how it had helped him through such a difficult time.
"By being quiet, sometimes things get out of hand," Foxx went on. "People say what I got, some people said I was blind, but as you can see, the eyes are working just fine. Said I was paralyzed, I'm not paralyzed. I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well. But I'm coming back, and I'm able to work."
Foxx also made sure to clear up the rumors about him, even making a joke about his upcoming movie They Cloned Tyrone. "I'm not a clone," he said with a smile.
To end the video, Jamie Foxx wanted to make sure that everyone knew how much he appreciated all the love and support he had received. "I just want to say that I love everybody, and I love all of the love that I got," he said. "If you see me out, and I sometimes burst into tears, it's because it's been tough; I've been sick, man. But now I've got my legs back under me, so you gonna see me out."
Foxx's celebrity friends left an outpouring of love and support on his video. The Rock, Walter Jones, Will Smith, Michael B. Jordan, Viola Davis, and LL Cool J all expressed their encouragement and admiration for him. Foxx's heartfelt video was a reminder of how strong he is, and how far the power of love can take us.
