Jamie Foxx is out of ‘the hospital,’ playing pickleball, daughter says

Jamie Foxx’s daughter is “sad” that the media has “run wild” with stories suggesting that her 55-year-old movie star father suffered a debilitating medical crisis that is still keeping him in the hospital.

So, Corinne Foxx took to Instagram Story Friday to claim that he’s been “out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating” and is even doing so well in his recovery that he “was playing pickle ball yesterday!” Corinne Foxx’s post was a clapback to a recent report that said the Foxx family was “preparing for the worst.”

Corinne Foxx again said nothing about the nature of her father’s condition or the medical complication that led to his hospitalization on April 11. She announced on Instagram on April 12 that her Oscar-winning father had “experienced a medical complication” the day before while he was in Atlanta filming the Netflix movie, “Back in Action,” which also stars Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.

Since that announcement, the family has released a few cryptic details about his condition, relying on such famous friends as Nick Cannon or Kevin Hart to offer encouraging updates. However, some of the statements, which are meant to offer reassurance,  could be read in different ways. Some also seem to be conflicting, or to raise more questions than answers.

On April 24, Cannon told Entertainment Tonight that his friend is “awake,” the Daily Beast reported. Cannon also said he had heard that Foxx is “alert, so we love it.” In a May 2 podcast interview with Logan Paul, Hart said his friend was on the mend and making progress, E! News reported. But Hart also suggested last week that Foxx was in some place other than home.

“The dope thing is that he’s getting better in his situation, and you know, everybody’s prayers, everybody’s love, energy — all that stuff is seen and felt,” Hart said. “So in this case, man, you just want the guy to get out of the situations and then get back home.”
