While Jamie and his family have not revealed exactly why the Terrell, Texas born star was hospitalized on April 11, which is when he was in Atlanta filming the movie Back in Action, he did break his silence in July to quash some rumors. “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back…I went through something I thought I would never ever go through,” Jame said in the emotional clip shared to his Instagram on July 22 — denying that he was “blind” and “paralyzed” per circulating reports.

He revealed he didn’t want his fans to “see me like that” — hence the weeks long wait for the health update. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie [or] television show,” Jamie confessed. “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,” he went on.

In the statement, he also thanked his daughter Corinne Foxx, 29, and his family for their immense support. “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way — and y’all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothin’ out. They protected me,” he said. “And that’s what I hope everyone could have in the moments like these.”
