Jamie Foxx Finally Speaks About His Health, Explains Long Silence — Video
View StoryHe shared, “To be honest with you, my sister Deidra Dixon, my daughter Corinne Marie saved my life. To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video.”
The actor continued, “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y’all know they kept it airtight — they didn’t let nothing out, they protected me — and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these. But, I’m coming back, and I am able to work.”
Foxx also addressed the crazy rumors that flew around his mysterious condition — most observers think he had a stroke — by crossing his eyes and asserting he is not blind. "As you can see, the eyes are workin' just fine."
He denied being paralyzed, saying, "But I did go to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well."
On an upbeat note, he said strongly, "I'm coming back, I'm able to work... I love everybody and I love all of the love that I got," before tearing up. He admitted he might burst into tears sometimes remembering the struggle that is behind him.
