CBSN
Jamie Foxx is finally sharing details about his 2023 near-death experience in his new comedy special "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was."
Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 while filming a movie in Atlanta. At the time, his daughter Corinne said on social media that the comedian had "experienced a medical complication." Fox later said that his daughter, his sister Diedra Dixon and medical staff saved his life. He said that he didn't remember nearly three weeks of his life following the unspecified scare.
In his newest special, which was just released on Netflix, Foxx said that he had experienced a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He said he was in a coma for 20 days, and his condition was so grave that his family traveled to be by his bedside, even as they worked to keep details of his condition private.
