Jamie Foxx Says He’s “Startin’ To Feel Like Myself” In Encouraging Update

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a tough few months for Jamie Foxx fans. The actor was suddenly hospitalized in April while on the set of his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action. It was the latest in a long series of issues that had hampered production. Furthermore, the coverage of Foxx’s hospitalization was a mess, with Foxx seemingly both on the verge of death and recovering well. After many conflicting reports about his status, his daughter revealed in mid-May that he had been out of the hospital for several weeks. However, for the time being, Foxx continues to recover mostly in private. Even so, he has been spotted out and about.

However, Foxx has begun to make public appearances in recent weeks. He has been seen at TopGolf as well as playing pickleball. Furthermore, John Boyega gave a positive update from the premiere of They Cloned Tyrone. “He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro,” Boyega said. “He’s doing well. And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can’t wait for his return.” He continued: “I gave him the well wishes directly. I gave him all the well wishes. So I’m just gonna be waiting until he comes back out here. So take your time, Jamie. We love you, bro.” Furthermore, Foxx recently threw a party to celebrate his recovery. Now Foxx is starting to feel like his old self again.

“You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light… I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers… I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD… all day every day… #swipeleft #imbackandimbetter #nobaddays,” Foxx wrote alongside a handful of selfies posted to Instagram. Messages of support from the likes of Jeremy Renner and Octavia Spencer could be seen in the comments section.

It’s the latest positive update from the star, who was also recently seen playing pickleball with some star opponents. Foxx was seen getting into some doubles action. Also taking part in the workout were NFL agent Ryan Sherry, director Taylor Chien, and Olympic beach volleyball player Casey Patterson. It appeared to be quite a lively match, with Patterson posting a video of a particularly nasty shot from Foxx. A beautiful spinning drop-shot, Foxx’s effort was basically impossible to return. “That Jamie Foxx spin will get ya,” Patterson captioned the video.

Jamie Foxx’s Next Mission: Reconcile With Katie Holmes, According To Sources

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Though there was no shortage of conflicting reports at first, Jamie Foxx seems to be making a steady recovery from the mysterious medical emergency he suffered during filming earlier this year. He’s been pouring his energy into healing his mind and body since then, and over the past few weeks, we’ve even seen him out and about enjoying some of his favourite activities. Foxx has yet to share specifics on his condition with fans, but according to RadarOnline, the latest regarding the Project Power actor’s love life is that he’s looking to spin the block.

Foxx’s ex, Katie Holmes, has reportedly caught his eye again. They first got together in 2013 after she ended her marriage to Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise. For the next six years, the pair was on-again-off-again, until 2019, when they ultimately called it quits. In the past, Holmes has said that the “Gold Digger” hitmaker’s partying lifestyle is what ended their union. “It has been many years of him stepping out with other women. He’s disrespectful and their lives were different. His partying ways don’t fit with hers as she’s focused on raising her daughter and working,” a source told UsWeekly at the time.

Jamie Foxx’s Recovery is Pointing Him Toward Katie Holmes

It seems that Foxx’s health scare has him re-evaluating the relationships in his life, among other things. “Jamie has dated scores of beautiful women in his life, but none came close to matching what he had with Katie,” one insider dished. “Their chemistry was off the charts. It was a romance born of passion but became so much more. In hindsight, Jamie can’t believe he let her slip through his fingers.”

From the sounds of things, Jamie Foxx is laser-focused on bringing his former lover back into his life at this time. Thankfully the backlash he faced after a recent IG Story scandal has died down enough for him to continue manifesting that, along with a full, healthy recovery. Read more about the mixed reaction to Foxx’s controversy at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jamie Foxx Spotted Running Errands In Wake Of Antisemitism Controversy

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx has been spotted for the second time since his antisemitic controversy last weekend. After posting “They killed this dude named Jesus…What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove,” on Instagram, Foxx was accused of antisemitism. Many saw the post as anti-Semitic as it, unintentionally or not, invoked the notion of Jewish Decide. Furthermore, Jewish Decide is the belief that the Jewish people are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. Additionally, in the early history of Christianity, the idea was used as justification for pogroms and other acts of violence and persecution against the Jews.

Foxx apologized for the comments the following day. “I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post. I now know my choice of words may have caused offense and I’m sorry. That was never my intent. To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that’s what I meant by “they” not anything more. I only have love in my heart for everyone. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended . Nothing but love always, Jamie Foxx ,” the actor wrote on August 5.

Foxx Seen Running Errands With Ex

After a pickleball outing earlier this week, paparazzi caught another glimpse of the actor. Foxx, dressed in a black AMIRI sweater, black sweatpants, and white sneakers, was spotted with his ex, Kristin Grannis. Grannis is the mother of Foxx’s youngest daughter Annalise. In stark contrast to Foxx’s all-black outfit, Grannis was dressed in all orange. According to the images published by outlets such as Page Six, Foxx appeared to be delivering some items from CVS.

All of this comes amid Foxx’s continued recovery from an unspecified medical emergency that he suffered in April. Foxx was hospitalized after reportedly collapsing on the set of his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action. As with a number of other mysterious collapses in recent months, Foxx’s hospitalization led to a wave of unsubstantiated conspiracies linking his collapse to the COVID-19 vaccine. At this time, neither Foxx nor his family have chosen to make the details of Foxx’s health scare public.

Jamie Foxx Seen Indulging His Love Of Pickleball

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx continues to slowly recover from the life-threatening medical episode he underwent earlier this year. While his family has not made the details of what exactly caused his hospitalization, Foxx and others have since hinted that it was a life-or-death situation. While Foxx has been taking it slow, one of the activities he has seemingly enjoyed is pickleball. The tennis variant is in the midst of a national craze with thousands taking up the sport. While city councils pump money into the construction of new courts, many celebrities have begun to invest in their own teams. There is even the MPL (Major Pickleball League), which includes 24 teams made up of some of the best pickleball players in the world.

Foxx was spotted playing with a few friends back in July amid the first public sightings of the actor during his recovery. In fact, Foxx loves pickleball so much that he invested in his own paddle company, The Best Paddle. As his recovery continues, and he comes off a minor antisemitism scandal, Foxx was once again seen down at the pickleball courts with a few friends.

Foxx Displays Some Impressive Pickleball Skills

This time, Foxx was seen getting into some doubles action. Also taking part in the workout were NFL agent Ryan Sherry, director Taylor Chien, and Olympic beach volleyball player Casey Patterson. It appeared to be quite a lively match, with Patterson posting a video of a particularly nasty shot from Foxx. A beautiful spinning drop-shot, Foxx’s effort was basically impossible to return. “That Jamie Foxx spin will get ya,” Patterson captioned the video.

Foxx himself also got in on the trash talk. “I got dead balls out here! Dead balls!” Foxx teased. However, there were some who didn’t believe that it was Foxx who hit such an impressive shot. In fact, Patterson went as far as to post another angle of the shot to prove it was in fact Foxx who hit it. “For all the haters in the comments who say @iamjamiefoxx didn’t hit the ball,” Casey captioned the follow-up video.

Celebrities Defend Jamie Foxx Amid Antisemitism Controversy

August 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx received a wave of backlash to an Instagram post made on August 4. After posting “They killed this dude named Jesus…What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove,” Foxx was accused of antisemitism. Many saw the post as Anti-Semitic as it, unintentionally or not, invoked the notion of Jewish Decide. Furthermore, Jewish Decide is the belief that the Jewish people are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. Additionally, in the early history of Christianity, the idea was used as justification for pogroms and other acts of violence and persecution against the Jews.

Fox apologized on the morning of August 5. “I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post. I now know my choice of words may have caused offense and I’m sorry. That was never my intent. To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that’s what I meant by “they” not anything more. I only have love in my heart for everyone. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended . Nothing but love always, Jamie Foxx .” While many people believed an apology was unwarranted, that argument has been bolstered by a number of celebrity voices.

Jay Pharaoh, Kenya Barris, And More Defend Foxx

Truly appreciate @iamjamiefoxx reaching out and confirming privately what he also said publicly. His message of love for the Jewish community is crucial in this time of rising hate. We are stronger together. https://t.co/91idgV9KPf

— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) August 6, 2023

Many celebrities expressed their displeasure that Foxx had felt “forced” to apologize for his comments. “When you have to apologize for the truth, your voice is the minority,” wrote SNL alum Jay Pharaoh. “Love you bro!!! Waitin on ya!!!,” added Black-ish creator Kenya Barris. Meanwhile, the CEO of the ADL Jonathan Greenblatt said that the organization “welcomed” Foxx’s apology and that Foxx had reached out further to reiterate his message to the ADL. The problem is that the issue is not unitary. The phrase that Foxx used can be both a Black colloquialism and an anti-Semitic trope. In fact, it does exist as both. While it’s clear that Foxx didn’t mean it as the latter, that does not mean that the latter interpretation no longer magically exists.

The response feels very similar to the incident in June 2022, when Lizzo issued an apology for the song “GRRRLS”. The original lyrics of the song contained a word that served as both a Black colloquialism and an ableist slur. While Lizzo apologized, many argued that she shouldn’t have to because her detractors were simply racist white people trying to tone police Black people.

Jennifer Aniston Gets Backlash For Response To Jamie Foxx’s “Anti-Semitic” Post

August 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx received significant backlash after posting a lament about a “fake friend” that was seen as including an anti-Semitic trope. Foxx’s post, which included a line about how “they killed this dude named Jesus” was seen as, unintentionally or not, invoking the idea of Jewish Decide. Jewish Decide is the anti-Semitic notion that Jews are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. It has been used as justification for violence and persecution against Jews since the early days of Christianity. However, the issue lies in the fact that the phrase that Foxx used is a commonly-used colloquialism within the Black community. The reality of the situation is that the phrase is complicated. Just because it is a Black colloquialism doesn’t mean that it loses its pre-existing anti-Semitic meaning.

Foxx has since apologized for causing any offense. However, this move has been criticized by many because they feel that Foxx had “nothing to apologize for.” Some people have taken this to the extent of making openly anti-Semitic comments in order to excuse Foxx’s behavior. However, one particular target of people’s ire has been Jennifer Aniston. Aniston disavowed Foxx’s statement after initially liking it. “This makes me sick. I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds – I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. I truly don’t tolerate HATE of any kind. Period.”

Aniston Accused Of Leading Backlash Against Foxx

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

A majority of the backlash against Aniston, who co-starred with Foxx in Horrible Bosses and Horrible Bosses 2, has been based on the perception that she caused the wave of antisemitism against Foxx. This at the very least appears untrue. Aniston’s post appears to have come as a result of being made aware of the allegations of antisemitism within the post. Meanwhile, the first source that appears to have raised concerns about antisemitism is the Times of Israel. Regardless, many people have laid the blame at Aniston’s feet.

For many, Aniston was exhibiting “white woman” or “Karen” energy about calling out Foxx for using a Black colloquialism. Additionally, many social media users have called Aniston “ignorant” and demanded that she issue an apology to Foxx. The response feels very similar to the incident in June 2022, when Lizzo issued an apology for the song “GRRRLS”. The original lyrics of the song contained a word that served as both a Black colloquialism and an ableist slur. While Lizzo apologized, many argued that she shouldn’t have to because her detractors were simply racist white people trying to tone police Black people.

While the posts were quickly deleted, Foxx didn’t immediately respond. Meanwhile, Foxx’s Horrible Bosses and Horrible Bosses 2 co-star Jennifer Anniston issued a statement after liking the post. “This makes me sick. I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds – I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. I truly don’t tolerate HATE of any kind.

Jamie Foxx Slammed For “Anti-Semitic” Post About “Fake Friends”

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx raised eyebrows on August 4 when a cryptic and out-of-character post appeared on his Instagram. “They killed this dude named Jesus…What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove.” Later, Foxx reshared a comment on his post which said “Judas showed his self!!! @iamjamiefoxx know them for what they are!!.” Both posts have since been deleted. While it is unclear who or what Foxx is referring to, the post was met with strong backlash from a number of groups.

Many saw the post as Anti-Semitic as it, unintentionally or not, invoked the notion of Jewish Decide. Jewish Decide is the belief that the Jewish people are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. In the early history of Christianity, the idea was used as justification for pogroms and other acts of violence and persecution against the Jews. Others took offense from Foxx appearing to refer to Jesus as “dude”. Finally, there were those who took the post as “proof” that this was not the real Jamie Foxx and that he had in fact died and been replaced by a clone during his recent hospitalization. Overall, no one was particularly happy about this post. While the posts have been deleted, Foxx is yet to release a statement about them.

While Foxx has not released a statement about the posts, other celebrities have. After liking the post, Jennifer Aniston released a statement apologizing for doing so. “This makes me sick. “I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds – I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. I truly don’t tolerate HATE of any kind. Period,” Aniston wrote on Instagram along with an image of a site decrying Foxx’s post as anti-Semitic. Aniston and Foxx appeared in the films Horrible Bosses and Horrible Bosses 2 together.

The debacle comes days after Foxx credited his sister with saving his life in a post made on her birthday. “Happy birthday to my beautiful for sister @frequency11 “D”… you are magical you are beautiful you are the courageous lionesses #leoseason And without you I would not be here… had you not made the decisions that you made I would’ve lost my life….

Jamie Foxx Credits Sister For Saving His Life In Heartfelt Birthday Message

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the last few weeks, Jamie Foxx has become more and more active as he continues to recover from the severe medical incident that hospitalized him back in April. After months of seemingly staged posts on social media, Foxx finally posted a video of himself thanking fans for their support during the ordeal. He later went on to drop a new freestyle verse on Instagram.

However, what exactly happened with Foxx’s health remains a tight-guarded mystery. Only Foxx’s family and attending physicians know the truth about what happened. Furthermore, it appears that they want to keep it that way, at least for the time being. Previously, the secrecy around Foxx’s condition, and the details of his hospitalization, led to the rise of many conspiracy theories and anonymous sources claiming to know the truth. Much like in the case of Bronny James’ recent cardiac arrest, complications caused by the COVID-19 vaccine became a common, and popular, conspiracy theory. However, a new post from Foxx appears to confirm that he was pretty close to dying at some point during the ordeal.

Foxx Says Sister Prevented Him From “Losing His Life”

A post shared by Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx)

The revelation that Foxx was at one point close to death came in a birthday post for his sister, Deidra. “Happy birthday to my beautiful for sister @frequency11 “D”… you are magical you are beautiful you are the courageous lionesses #leoseason And without you I would not be here… had you not made the decisions that you made I would’ve lost my life…. I love you forever and ever happy birthday sis,” Foxx wrote alongside a collection of pictures.

Foxx’s daughter Corrinne appeared to take the lead on the public response to Foxx’s hospitalization. However, his Instagram caption hints at a larger family dynamic. As mentioned, it’s unlike that we will ever know what happened during the period that Foxx was in the hospital. However, we do now know that supposedly live-saving decisions were made by Foxx’s sister. However, the conspiracy sentiment still remained in the comments. At least for now, that element of the saga is not going away.
