Jamie Foxx Faces Rumors About His Health

In December, Foxx shared more information about his health scare when he received the Vanguard Award for his performance in "The Burial" at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino, and AAPI Achievements in Los Angeles, Calif.

"I want to thank everybody. I've been through something. I've been through some things," he said. "It's crazy, I couldn't do that six months ago. I couldn't actually walk too... I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy, because it's tough when you almost... When it's almost over, when you see the tunnel."

Several rumors emerged due to a lack of details and updates from Foxx, his family, and representatives. Among the talks included people suggesting he had cancer, stroke, or traumatic injury as he was spotted at a top physical medicine and rehabilitation center in Chicago following his discharge.

A report claiming that Foxx's family was reportedly "preparing for the worst" also made rounds. Still, Foxx's daughter Corrine debunked the Daily Loud post by uploading a screenshot of the article alongside the caption: "Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild."
