While Jamie didn’t disclose what the illness was, he shut down rumors that he’s either “paralyzed” or “blind” — but confessed he went to “hell and back” in the July 22 video. “I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through,” Jamie said to fans. “I know a lot of people were waiting and wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me, trying to figure out if I was going to make it through,” he expressed, thanking his family and friends for support.
