Jamie Foxx Details Health Scare, Says He Had a Headache and Woke Up 20 Days Later
Jamie Foxx barely remembers what he went through during his medical emergency in 2023.
On Sunday (June 30), a TikTok user named Dr. Debra Combs posted a video of Foxx addressing the health scare to a few bystanders. "I had a bad headache, so I asked my boy for an Advil," he says in the video. "[Snaps fingers] Boom, I was gone for 20 days. I don't remember anything."
"I'm in Atlanta," the “Django Unchained” star recalled. "They told me [that] my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor and he said, 'Nah' and gave me a cortisone shot. The next doctor said, 'There's something going on up there.' I won't say it on camera, but it was...[shakes head]."
In April 2023, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, first announced the news of his "medical complication" on her social media platforms. "We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery," she shared.
Foxx was hospitalized for a few weeks, with minimal updates until Foxx posted in July 2023, addressing his fans. "I just didn't want you to see me like that," he said in a self-taped social media video. "I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show. I just 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… I went to hell and back. I've been sick, man. But now, I've got my legs under me, so you're gonna see me out."
