Jamie Foxx is showing his younger sister, Deidra Dixon, some love in this video message.
The recipient of an Academy Award turned to Instagram on Tuesday to post a number of photos of himself and his sister Deidra. Among them was a touching flashback picture that showed Foxx embracing his sister around the shoulders while beaming broadly.
“Happy birthday to my lovely little sister @frequency11 ‘D’… Foxx praised the lionesses on Twitter, writing, “you are magical. you are beautiful. you are the courageous lionesses.” “And I would not be here if it were not for you.”
The actor continued by saying, “Had you not taken the judgments that you did, I would have lost my life…. Happy birthday, sister, and know that I will always and forever adore you.
Since July 22, when he went out to reassure fans that he’s on the mend after being hospitalized in April for an unknown medical issue, this is the first post that Foxx has published on Instagram. Foxx was hospitalized in April for an undisclosed medical illness.
The actor, who is 55 years old, just uploaded a three-minute video in which he addresses the camera directly and expresses his gratitude for the outpouring of support he has gotten since the health scare. He also provides some further information on the terrifying event.
“I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through,” he revealed with the group.
“I know that a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man,” he confessed to me. “I know that a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates.” “I want you to see me joking about, having a wonderful time at parties, telling jokes, acting in movies or on television shows, and laughing my head off. I didn’t want you to see me trying to figure out whether I was going to make it through when I had tubes coming out of me.
He did not go into specifics about what took place, but he did say that his sister Deidra and his daughter Corinne “saved my life.”
“To them, to God, and to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video,” he said in his message to the audience. “I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to have your family kick in in such a manner, and all of you know that they maintained it airtight. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels. They did not allow anything to escape. They shielded me, and that’s something I want everyone else could have in times like this.
In addition, the actor from Day Shift was careful to dispel a couple of the myths that he had heard about his health condition, stating unequivocally that he is neither “blind” or “paralyzed.”
“I went to hell and back, and the road to recovery had some potholes in it as well,” he said. “I did everything I could to get better.” “But I’m coming back, and I’ll be able to work.”
Foxx shed some tears as he got obviously moved by the experience of the tour.
“I know they talk about people crying on videos,” he added. “I know they talk about it.” You have the option of doing a take two, but I’m not going to do another take. What it is cannot be changed. If you see me in public from this point on and I suddenly start crying, please understand that it’s because things have been so challenging. I’m sorry, guy, but I’ve been unwell. But now that I’ve gotten my bearings, you’re going to witness me walking out the door.
The actor finished his remarks by noting, “I’m here on Earth because of some great people.” It is due of God, man, that I am living on this planet. I’ll be there in a little while.
Corinne Foxx, who is 29 years old and the actor’s daughter, was the one who broke the news of her father being hospitalized on April 12. She did so through social media. A month later, Corinne shared the news with her family that her father had been discharged from the hospital in Atlanta where he had been undergoing therapy “for weeks” and “recuperating.” To the point that Corinne reported that her father had been doing so much better that he had been able to play pickleball, one of his favorite sports.
Foxx checked into a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago shortly after being discharged from the hospital. She continued to reside in the Chicago region for the next few weeks.
