Jamie Foxx Speaks For First Time Since Hospitalization

Actor and singer Jamie Foxx has spoken to the public for the first time after being hospitalized several months ago after reportedly having a stroke.

Foxx in an Instagram video stated, “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.”

The star actor continued “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.”

The actor then addressed rumors that claimed he was paralyzed and stated “As you can see, the eyes are working, the eyes are working just fine. I’m not paralyzed, but I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well.”

Despite Foxx saying his eyes were working there appeared to be something off about them.
