Jamie Foxx Speaks Out About Health Scare

Jamie Foxx opened up about a health scare that left him hospitalized in April 2023, revealing it all started with a headache.

Dr Brenda Combs captured this footage of Foxx on Saturday, June 29, outside a Hyatt Regency in Phoenix.

“Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil. [Snaps fingers] I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything,” Foxx said in the video.

Foxx explained that while in Atlanta, his sister and daughter took him to multiple doctors, with the first giving him a cortisone shot.

The “next doctor said, ’There’s something going on up there,’” he said, motioning to his head, adding that he “won’t say it on camera.”

In a video Foxx posted to Instagram in July 2023, he said the health problems sent him “to hell and back.”
