Foxx first broke his silence with a written message on Instagram, expressing to his millions of social media followers on May 3: “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.” He followed up the post about his health by sharing a video message in July where he spoke more about why he did not update fans about his medical scare during his hospitalization.
“I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through,” he said. “I know a lot of people were waiting and, you know, wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that.”
While he didn’t provide details about his health scare, he dispelled rumors that he had gone blind and was paralyzed and confirmed that he was able to work again. His next project, The Burial, will premiere at September’s Toronto International Film Festival.
