Jamie Foxx Is Alive and Well, Says In Video He Wasn’t Blind or Paralyzed, But Still Healing from His Mysterious Ailment

Share

Jamie Foxx is alive and well, and grateful. Three months ago he suffered what is still a mystery ailment. His sister and daughter, he says, took great care of him, saved his life, and clamped down on all information.

There were reports that he was blind and paralyzed. Foxx says this isn’t true, and even crosses his eyes in this video as a joke. But he definitely went through “something” –maybe a mini stroke. He seems okay now and says he’s still healing. But all the predictions of doom and gloom were wrong, thank goodness.

Here’s to a continued recovery!
