Jamie Foxx Posts Health Update Video on Instagram After Hospitalization
Jamie Foxx posted a health update video on Instagram this weekend. In the new reel, the star thanked everyone for their well-wishes and prayers. "First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that's prayed, man, and sent me messages," Foxx told his fans late last night. "I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back." In the rest of the three-minute-long video, the actor explained why he didn't post any updates from the hospital and waited until now to address it personally. The fans have been very worried about him, but he didn't want to present any view of himself that would fuel any speculation about the severity of his condition.
"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 man," Foxx explained. "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 out if I was gonna make it through."
"To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video," he mentioned. "I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y'all know they kept it airtight, they didn't let nothing out, they protected me, and that's what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these."
