Jamie Foxx Health Update: Rep Fires Back at 'Paralyzed and Blind' Rumor

The representative of renowned actor Jamie Foxx has firmly refuted claims that the COVID-19 vaccine he received left him "paralyzed and blind," dismissing such allegations as "completely inaccurate" on the latest Jamie Foxx health update, per Newsweek.

Foxx, best known for his stellar performance as Ray Charles in the Academy Award-winning film "Ray," was admitted to the hospital in early April due to an undisclosed "medical complication."

His daughter, Corinne Foxx, issued a statement confirming his release from the hospital and ongoing recovery, while details about his specific condition remained undisclosed.

Reports emerged in May suggesting that Foxx's family had visited him at a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago. A.J. Benza, a podcast host and gossip columnist, claimed to possess insider knowledge about Foxx's situation, attributing his information to an individual "present in the room."

During an appearance on the Ask Dr. Drew podcast, Benza alleged that Jamie Foxx experienced a blood clot in his brain after receiving the vaccine, adding that although he initially harbored reservations about getting vaccinated, the demands of his current film project coerced him into it. The resulting blood clot led to partial paralysis and vision impairment.

Speculations on Jamie Foxx Health Prompt Other Personalities to Weigh In

Despite strong denials from the actor's representatives regarding A.J. Benza's allegations, the anti-vaccination conspiracy surrounding Jamie Foxx condition has gained traction on various online platforms, according to the Independent.

Prominent political analyst Candace Owens, boasting a substantial following of 1.67 million subscribers on YouTube, perpetuated this notion during her podcast on June 6. While no member of Foxx's family has publicly refuted Benza's claim, Owens suggested in her video titled "What's Going On With Jamie Foxx?" that there could be some validity to the allegations.

Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk, co-founder of the Turning Point USA think tank, also added his voice to the controversy, taking to Twitter on June 1 to express his frustration.

Kirk wrote, "It's infuriating to see a respectable individual like Jamie Foxx fall victim to the pharmaceutical industry's influence, simply because a movie set foolishly mandated the administration of their cash cow clot shot."

Jamie Foxx Health Scare

During the production of his Netflix feature "Back in Action" in Atlanta, actor Jamie Foxx encountered health issues, leading to concerns among fans and the media.

Jamie Foxx's daughter, Corinne Foxx, released a statement addressing the situation on April 12.

"We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday," Corinne conveyed on behalf of the family. She further expressed gratitude for the swift response and excellent care Foxx received, assuring that he was already on the path to recovery. While acknowledging Foxx's widespread popularity, the family requested privacy.

Since then, people have been eagerly seeking updates on Jamie Foxx condition, with some expressing worries about his condition, Hollywood Unlocked noted.

Reports suggesting a deterioration in Jamie Foxx health surfaced, fueling concerns that his loved ones were "preparing for the worst." However, Corinne Foxx took to Instagram to refute these rumors.

In an Instagram story in May, she expressed her disappointment with the sensationalist media coverage, stating, "Sad to see how the media runs wild." Corinne confirmed that her father had been discharged from the hospital weeks ago and was recovering.

She even mentioned that Foxx had been engaged in activities like playing pickleball the day before. Corinne extended her gratitude for the prayers and support received during this challenging time.

Although Foxx has posted updates about his improving health on social media, he has not appeared publicly.
