Porscha Coleman, co-star of Jamie Foxx, has provided an update on the 55-year-old actor’s health two months after his medical emergency, shedding light on his private nature.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the BET Awards in Los Angeles, the 37-year-old actress addressed Foxx’s well-being and expressed frustration with media outlets disseminating incomplete information.
According to Coleman, she has spoken to individuals close to Foxx who assured her that he is doing well.
She emphasized the importance of having accurate information before constructing narratives around the situation.
Coleman, who acted alongside Foxx in the Netflix series “Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!,” revealed that he is currently resting and will make a comeback. She urged fans to trust and believe in his recovery.
Foxx’s undisclosed medical condition led to his hospitalization, as confirmed by his family on April 12.
However, details regarding his health have remained scarce, even among friends and colleagues. Coleman attributed this to Foxx’s long-standing preference for privacy. She acknowledged his inclination to maintain a low profile, extending beyond his personal life and into aspects such as dating.
Recently, Foxx’s co-star John Boyega expressed concern about his well-being. Boyega, who stars alongside Foxx in the Netflix film “They Cloned Tyrone,” revealed during the movie premiere that he hadn’t heard from Foxx since his hospitalization in early April. Boyega expressed his support and wished Foxx the best, acknowledging the ongoing calls he has made to check on him.
Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, had previously shared that he experienced a medical complication on April 11. She assured fans that prompt action and excellent care had set him on the path to recovery. The family requested privacy during this time of healing.
While filming the action-comedy “Back In Action” with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia, Foxx was admitted to a facility in Chicago that specializes in treating adults with severe complex conditions. The specific condition afflicting Foxx remains undisclosed, but the facility is known for its expertise in stroke recovery and other complex health issues.
“They Cloned Tyrone,” Foxx’s upcoming Netflix film, features him as Slick Charles, part of an unlikely trio alongside Boyega’s Fontaine and Teyonah Parris’ Yo-Yo. The plot revolves around their discovery of a government conspiracy in an underground laboratory after witnessing a man being abducted.
Unsubstantiated claims on social media regarding Foxx’s illness, allegedly linked to a vaccine injury, have gained attention. Conservative host Candace Owens and podcast host A.J. Benza suggested that Foxx’s health issues were a result of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Foxx’s representatives, however, dismissed the claims as completely inaccurate.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, on whose show Benza made the controversial claim, stated that the information was based on Benza’s own confidential sources. Pinsky expressed hope for Foxx’s full recovery and clarified that there was no evidence linking his medical condition to the vaccine or post-COVID phenomena. Pinsky supported the safety of vaccines but acknowledged the need to address reported side effects and their potential connections.
The controversy surrounding these claims prompted Owens to further speculate on her podcast, insinuating the validity of Benza’s statement due to Foxx’s family’s alleged silence. Charlie Kirk, founder of Talking Points USA, also shared the article related to the claims, emphasizing the need for readers to assess the information.
In light of the ongoing discussions and inquiries, Foxx’s privacy continues to be respected. His friends, co-stars, and fans eagerly await his return and wish him a full recovery. The focus remains on supporting Foxx during his healing journey while recognizing the importance of accurate information and responsible discourse.
