Jamie Foxx’s daughter Corinne has updated fans about her father’s “medical complication” after reports suggested his family was “preparing for the worst”.
Foxx was taken to hospital a month ago after suffering an undisclosed illness, Corinne announced at the time.
In the weeks since, conflicting accounts have emerged about the 55-year-old star’s condition with Radar reporting this week that his family was “hoping for the best but preparing for the worst”.
Corinne debunked the online publication’s report specifically in a statement shared on her Instagram on Friday (12 May).
“Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating,” the 29-year-old announced.
