World famous actor Jamie Foxx suffered a blood clot in his brain, and now, it\u2019s speculated that the clot has left him blind and paralyzed. In a potentially unfortunate turn of events surrounding Foxx\u2019s mysterious illness, a Hollywood journalist claims that a well-placed source told him that Fox suffered the severe medical episode after being pressured to get the COVID vaccine.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Dr. Drew, veteran journalist A.J. Benza said, \u201cJamie had a blood clot in his brain after he got the shot. He didn\u2019t want the shot, but the movie he was in, he was pressured to get it. The blood clot in the brain caused him at that point to be partially paralyzed and blind.\u201d Benza asserted that his source is \u201csomeone in the room\u201d linked to Foxx\u2019s treatment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to highlight that Benza\u2019s report is speculation and has not been verified by a reputable source, as a spokesperson for Foxx has not commented on the situation. In April, Foxx was hospitalized for a \u201cmedical complication,\u201d though the medical condition hasn\u2019t been identified. He suffered the setback while working on his film \u201cBack in Action\u201d alongside Cameron Diaz. The film\u2019s production has continued with a body double instead of Foxx.<\/p>\n

Foxx\u2019s friend, Charles E. Alston, asked for prayers for the actor on social media, though his family asserted that Foxx was \u201calready on his way to recovery\u201d due to \u201cquick action\u201d and \u201cgreat care.\u201d However, other unnamed sources claimed that Foxx\u2019s family was \u201cpreparing for the worst\u201d after his hospitalization.<\/p>\n

One source said, \u201cJamie\u2019s people are saying he\u2019s doing okay and improving while doctors try to get to the bottom of his problems, but he wouldn\u2019t be in a hospital this long if he was anything close to okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to these reports, Foxx\u2019s daughter Corrine took to social media, saying, \u201cSad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday. Thanks for everyone\u2019s prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!\u201d<\/p>\n
