Jamie Foxx Explains the ‘Severe Headache’ That Resulted in His Hospitalization in 2023

It has been over a year since Jamie Foxx was hospitalized due to a medical complication. Despite spending nearly a month in the hospital, the Oscar-winning star has not disclosed any details about the crisis he experienced. In an impromptu encounter outside a hotel in Phoenix, Foxx shared some details with fans about his time in the ER. A clip posted on TikTok by motivational speaker Dr. Brenda Combs revealed that Foxx has almost no memory of the incident.

Foxx recalled how he asked for an Advil on April 11 last year due to a bad headache, but then he was gone for 20 days with no recollection of what happened. He mentioned that his sister and daughter took him to a doctor’s office in Atlanta where he received a cortisone shot. The doctor informed him that there was something wrong in his head, but Foxx did not disclose further details, expressing that he did not want to say it on camera.

Earlier this year, Foxx hinted at opening up about his health crisis in a comedic way during a show called “What Had Happened Was.” In a video update last July, Foxx emotionally spoke about going through a difficult experience that he did not want people to see. His daughter Corinne Foxx had previously announced his hospitalization last April while filming in Atlanta.

The journey of Jamie Foxx through his health challenges has been marked by secrecy, cryptic hints, and a determination to share the story in his own way. Foxx’s experience reflects the resilience and vulnerability of a public figure going through a personal setback while navigating the pressure of living life in the limelight.
