Corinne Foxx, Jamie Foxx’s oldest daughter, revealed on social media recently that her father had a “medical complication” but is now recovering. The Foxx family sent out a message thanking everyone for their prayers and asking for privacy during this difficult time.
The post read: “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
While the exact nature of the medical emergency was not disclosed, sources with “direct knowledge” told TMZ that Foxx was taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning, and his condition was “serious enough” that members of his family traveled into town. “He’s communicating now, and that’s good news,” one source noted.
According to Marca, Jamie Foxx’s recent health scare comes just weeks after the “Django Unchained” star returned to the set of his film, “Back in Action,” amid reports that he suffered a “meltdown.”
According to reports from The Sun, Foxx allegedly threw a “tantrum” and fired an executive producer, two directors, and his driver on the Seth Gordon-helmed film. Additionally, a separate report claimed that Jamie Foxx was the target of a $40,000 scam, which halted production on the “nightmare” film set as an investigation was opened up.
