No news for past few weeks what are you talking about things getting crazier?

She understandably tried to spin this story, but did it in an unskilled way that stoked the rumors instead of quieting them.

That "exciting" business announcement was the latest ridiculousness.

DP, not the "liar" PP to whom you were responding. I agree with you. The game show announcement may end up backfiring on them as something they eventually have to cancel or hand over to someone else. I think possibly his family's and employees' attempt to create an impression he'll return to work just fine. But putting it out there now is kind of tempting fate. If it was a stroke, there is no way to know at this stage how he might be, by the time they'd have to start making that show, even if it's not scheduled to start until 2024. They've kind of attached a clear time frame to his recovery with this new announcement, and that seems really unwise, if it doesn't work out on that schedule.

My mom had a stroke at 80. She was fully recovered in 6 months.

I'm glad she fully recovered, and so quickly. But every stroke is completley unique. A much younger person than your mom could have a far worse stroke and never fully recover. Her experience is great but not a reason to think Jamie Foxx also will recover in six months, or will recover "fully" whatever that might mean for him. I hope he does recover fully. But still, it's not smart for the family to attach such a clear and very public deadline to his recovery by announcing a new show, even one a year away. Talk about creating pressure on him, his therapists and doctors, his family, etc.

A month and a half and still no word on what happened. Gotta hand it to his team, they’ve stayed pretty tight-lipped.

If it's a stroke, which sounds likely, I wish they'd say so and openly discuss -- NOT every detail but the fact he's getting good rehab and therapy, and then ask for privacy. I think they're trying to hide a stroke and not even say the word, out of fear it will affect his work prospects and make people think he's completely out of it. Of course they dont have to say a word, they owe the public nothing, and it's the family's prerogative to decide what to say. But when people have strokes and refuse even to say the word, it only perpetuates rumors and myths about stroke, unfortunately. And this business of blithely announcing he'll be on a new show in 2024 just creates a deadline by which they're saying he'll be able to be back in front of a camera again, which may --or may not--be the case. Not a great move, I think.

Jamie Foxx back in the news - something about how Cameron Diaz was shocked and saddened about his illness. We still don’t know what the deal is. I bet it was a stroke.

The Washington Post yesterday ran an article interviewing costars, director, etc. from a new film that just premiered (They Cloned Tyrone) that Foxx is in. The article wasn't even about the film itself-- it was about Foxx, and how fondly fellow performers think of him, what a great professional he is, and so on (and it all sounded deserved--he has a genuinely good rep with his peers). But the article weirdly had only a tiny, passing mention of "health" issues and absolutely zero acknowledgement that there was anything major that had happened, that he had been hospitalized at all or was still in care, or that anything that has taken him out of the public eye entirely. It was just stunningly devoid of even mere acknowledgement of a serious health event and the total silence around it. Very, very strange for a major, reputable newspaper to avoid noting something as big as all that.

Some of the comments definitely noticed this and called it out. I get the family being possibly afraid even to utter the word "stroke" (IF that's what happened), out of fear he'll be labeled unemployable, but for the Post to run a lengthy article about him without fully explaining why (to use the headline!!) "Hollywood has a Jaime Foxx-shaped hole at its heart" -- that's strange.

Ahhh phooey, I was hoping for an update. Can’t believe there is still nothing after 2 months!

If he’s still in rehab then it’s not good.

Whatever it is, he is a private person and wants full privacy until he decides otherwise. I don't really care if family share untruths or half truths - like he is playing pickle ball in rehab. If that is the only way to have privacy and keep the hoards away, then so be it.

I wonder if Katie Holmes has reached out to him.

Finally spotted, on a yacht in Chicago. So glad to see he’s well!

I hope he will make a statement soon or sit down with someone to fill us all in on what happened with him.

So then what was the big mystery thing?
