Jamie Foxx Tears Up Thanking His Family in First Video to Fans Discussing Hospitalization: ‘I Just Didn’t Want You to See Me Like That’
J. Kim Murphy Jamie Foxx has shared a statement with fans, providing his first comments on his April hospitalization following a sudden medical complication. Details on the actor’s condition had been scarce through weeks since, but Foxx vows that he’s “coming back and able to work” in the new video. “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.”
