Emotional Jamie Foxx Details 2023 Mystery Illness in New Netflix Special

by

As a follower and admirer of Jamie Foxx, I can confidently say that his resilience and spirit are truly unmatched. The events of 2023 left us all on edge, but it’s heartening to see him share his story with such candor and humor.

2023 saw an anxious global pause as news unfolded about me, Jamie Foxx, battling for my life in a hospital bed. The uncertainty surrounding my condition sparked numerous speculations among fans about the incident, some venturing into wild theories that veered into the realm of conspiracy (clones? Really?). Now, over a year later, I, myself, have shed light on the truth as I shared it during my latest Netflix special, detailing precisely what transpired.

In the narrative titled What Really Transpired, Foxx appeared on stage with emotion, recounting the incidents leading up to his hospitalization in April 2023. He shared, “On April 11, I was experiencing a severe headache, so I asked my son for some Tylenol.” Jokingly, he added, “I soon discovered that when you’re in a critical health situation, your kids aren’t equipped to handle it.” Parents everywhere can relate to his words.

Foxx explained that after taking Asprin, he lost consciousness for approximately 20 days and has no recollection of this time. He made these remarks. Interestingly, it was his sister, Deidra Dixon, who stepped in to help him, leading him to a medical facility she had never been to before.

In simpler terms, she instructed, “Bring him into the car. That man isn’t my brother over there.” Not knowing anything about Piedmont Hospital, she had an intuition that help could be found within. Dixon was correct, for it wasn’t until Foxx reached the hospital that a doctor was able to accurately diagnose him, and this particular doctor was exceptionally calm and collected.

It was shared with me that my sister had brought me to the hospital, and this really laid-back doctor named Dr. Schuette – he supposedly wore a Lakers jersey – was incredibly calm. However, he delivered some distressing news to my sister about her brother. He informed her that I was experiencing a brain bleed which had resulted in a stroke.

Jamie Foxx “Lost Everything,” But Was Still Able to Laugh

In Foxx’s account, he shared that when visualizing one’s aspirations for life, one doesn’t envision misfortune. He recounted Dr. Schuette warning his sister that if immediate action wasn’t taken on the Academy Award-winner, “we might lose him.” To ease the tension, Foxx added humor to his narrative by mentioning that his sister kneeled outside the operating room and prayed fervently throughout.

Fortunately, just as everyone expected, Foxx ended up being alright and fully recuperated. However, it wasn’t without a challenging time in his life that he referred to as “the toughest year.” Rehabilitation was grueling, and there were moments when things looked uncertain, but the celebrity managed to persevere with one thing that has helped him overcome numerous hardships: humor. He stated, “I lost everything, yet my sense of humor was all I could cling to.

After his stroke, Foxx will soon be seen in the action comedy “Back in Action,” filmed before the incident. In this movie, he shares the screen with Cameron Diaz, portraying a duo of CIA agents who are unwillingly thrust back into espionage when their undercover identities get exposed. The film is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.
