Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
So this happened 3 weeks ago, but nobody is saying what happened...
And now they are asking for prayers...

10:40 AM PT -- 4/13 -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jamie Foxx "is doing a lot better," even joking with his family. That said, we're told the medical emergency was serious, and doctors still haven't gotten to the bottom of what happened to him. We're told he'll be in the hospital for at least a few more days, while doctors perform tests.
6:29 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jamie Foxx suffered a "medical emergency" Tuesday morning and was taken to the hospital. We're told his condition was serious enough that Jamie's family -- some of whom were not in town -- came to the hospital. One source told us, "He's communicating now, and that's good news."
Jamie Foxx suffered what his family is calling a "medical complication" ... though his daughter says her famous father's condition is already improving.
Jamie's daughter, actress Corinne Foxx, posted the medical update Wednesday on social media ... and she says Jamie suffered the issue Tuesday but immediately got "great care" and is now on the mend.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the condition was serious enough that Jamie was hospitalized.
Corinne adds ... "We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time."
At this time, it's unclear exactly how Jamie came to discover the still unspecified complication, or if he was experiencing symptoms that prompted him to get checked out.
We do, however, know Jamie's been working in Atlanta on a film called "Back in Action" with costars Glenn Close and Cameron Diaz.
It's unclear how long Jamie will need to remain in the hospital, or if and when he'll be able to return to working on the movie.

Jamie Foxx remains hospitalized more than 3 weeks after suffering a medical emergency, and those closest to him say he needs all the prayers and well-wishes his fans can muster.
While his exact condition remains secret -- tightly guarded by his family -- we've spoken with sources close to Jamie who echo the same plea -- "Pray for Jamie."
It was April 12 when Foxx's daughter, Corinne, announced her father suffered a "medical complication."
Jamie is one of the most prolific players in Hollywood, and his condition has sent studios scrambling.
Jamie has been the host of the hugely popular "Beat Shazam" music lyric game show on FOX, which was going into production just days after he was hospitalized.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Jamie will not be on this season of "Beat Shazam." We're told filming starts today, with a new host. We're also told Corinne, who DJs on the show, will not be on as well -- she's been a fixture at the hospital in Atlanta by her dad's side.
As we reported, Jamie was in Atlanta for work on the film "Back in Action" when he fell ill, a stunt double and body double have been seen filling in for Jamie for that project.
Pray for Jamie.

Been seeing headlines about this since it happened but there's not much of a story if we don't know what happened. Not sure why the family is keeping the issue so tightly secret.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
This guy is one of the most talented guys in all of Hollywood. An old school talent. He really can do it all, and do it all pretty well.
I hope he can recover.

If they bring his pets to see him, he's a goner. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery. I'm not his biggest fan, but he's deifnitely talented.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
The use of the word "complication" was always odd, because it leads you to believe he was already undergoing a procedure or other treatment. Or else they'd call it a medical "event" or something, no?

I understand the family has no obligation to reveal his condition due to medical privacy. But, with him still being hospitalized with his family asking for prayers, it's just going to bring out more curiosity and concern from his fans and colleagues.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
The initial rumor I heard when Foxx was first hospitalized was that he suffered a stroke. I don’t recall exactly where I heard that and the family has obviously kept the reason close to their vest so who knows.
If it was a stroke, I wonder if he was recovering and then suffered an additional stroke(s).

Did he suffer a injury from some sexual or embarrassing act and they want to keep it private?

His daughter says he's at home playing pickleball.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
Doctors must have told him he can't play any real sports yet so I guess he's not fully out of the woods just yet.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
Whole thing is bizarre. If he's been doing well for weeks then why not post a quick video saying thanks for the well wishes? That would end the wild speculation. For comparison Jeremy Renner was posting videos right after he'd been flattened by a snowcat.

It says at home recuperating. If he had a stroke, his speaking ability may still be off.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
The speculation is that it was a stroke or an overdose. I'd say it could have been the latter because a few weeks ago weren't a bunch of crew members fired over trying to set up a deal behind the scenes during filming, with Foxx?

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
If Foxx did suffer a stroke, why keep it so tightly guarded? Yes, it's a pretty serious health issue. But, many middle age men like him have suffered it. A colleague of mine, who is in his late 50s, suffered a stroke and was hospitalized for a few weeks. But, he made a full recovery without any complications or speech impediment.

Re: Jamie Foxx suffers "medical complication"
And if you're going to keep it so guarded, don't tell the public to "Pray for Jamie". That's not cool.
