Jamie Foxx addresses COVID vaccine conspiracies that he was blind, paralyzed, cloned

Jamie Foxx has broken his silence.

The actor, who disappeared from the public eye in April after being hospitalized following a “medical complication,” posted a video to Instagram this week sending a message to fans.

“I want to say thank you to everybody that has prayed man and sent me messages,” a noticeably thinner Foxx said. “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back.

“I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through,” he continued. “I know a lot of people were waiting and wanted to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that, man. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me, and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through. And, to be honest with you, my sister, my daughter, saved my life. So, to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way.”

Foxx praised his family for “keeping it air tight,” and not “letting anything out.” That is when he tackled many of the rumors and conspiracy theories that popped up around his medical situation.

“They protected me,” he said. “And that is what I hope everyone could have in moments like these. Now, you know, by being quiet sometimes things get out of hand. People saying what I got, some people saying I was blind, but as you can see (he began to move his eyes around) the eyes are working just fine. They said I was paralyzed. I’m not paralyzed. But I did go to hell and back. My road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I’m coming back.”

Foxx went on to say that he loves everyone before becoming emotional.

“All the love that I got …” he said with his eyes getting misty. “I know they talk about people crying on videos, you can do a take two, I’m not going to do a take two. If you see me out sometime, and I just burst into tears, it’s because it has been tough.”

Foxx even joked about other conspiracy theories swirling around his condition.

“Some people say that I’m cloned,” he said reaching back to act as though he was preparing to take off a mask. “Well … check this out.

“Just kidding,” he then said with a smile. “I’m not cloned, but I’m here on Earth because of some great people. I’m here on Earth because of God.

“I just wanted to jump on here and let you know that Im on my way back,” he closed the video by saying. “And love.”

The post came just more than a month after podcast host Dr. Drew Pinsky had gossip columnist A.J. Benza on his show to promote a wild conspiracy theory that Foxx had a “blood clot in the brain” that caused him to be “partially paralyzed and blind,” after getting vaccinated.

“Jamie had a blood clot in his brain after he got the shot,” Benza said. “He did not want the shot, but the move he was on, he was pressured to get it.

“The blood clot in the brain caused him at that point to be partially paralyzed and blind.”

Benza even went so far as to discount what little Foxx’s family did say about his status.

“If you read what they were saying early on, ‘He is communicating with us.’ That doesn’t mean talking,” Benza added. “That could be anything. Writing. Sign language. I know those little code words.

“Then you tell me your father is playing pickleball, give me a break,” he added. “There is a great shroud of secrecy around Jamie Foxx.”

A study of more than 4.1 million people earlier this year found no evidence of higher rates of strokes for vaccinated people a month after vaccination. And, another study, conducted in 2022 reportedly failed to show evidence of a higher stroke rate, as well, for those who have been vaccinated.
