Jamie Foxx is in recovery after an apparent hospitalization. The news that he had suffered from an undisclosed medical episode was shared by his daughter, Corinne, on Instagram. Presented as a statement from the Foxx family, her post did not include further details about what kind of “complication” her father experienced, only that he had received care for it.

“We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” she wrote. “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

A spokesperson for the Oscar winner told CNN on Wednesday that they had “Nothing more, at this time” to add “than what was posted.”

Foxx has recently been filming the new Netflix movie Back In Action, for which he convinced longtime co-star Cameron Diaz to come out of retirement. The movie most recently made headlines in the tabloid sphere for a troubled production schedule. Beyond run-of-the-mill shooting delays, a crew member is alleged to have attempted to scam Foxx out of $35,000. The actor was reported to have had “a major meltdown” on set which led to him firing “an executive producer, an assistant director and a unit director,” plus his own driver.

While this drama supposedly hasn’t driven a wedge between Foxx and Diaz, who previously starred together in Any Given Sunday and Annie (which happens to have been Diaz’s last film before her 8-year hiatus), sources have hinted that the experience has once again put Diaz off the movie making business. Adding a sudden medical complication for one of its stars to the list of unfortunate issues, it seems that Back In Action is quite an unlucky production.

    Probably just a basic case of pimp skitters.

    He’s currently prepping for the lead role in the upcoming drama The Other Side of Shart Mountain:Once upon a time, in a small town nestled at the base of a mountain, there lived a young woman named Emma. Emma was kind-hearted and adventurous, always eager to explore the world beyond her small town. She spent most of her days hiking in the mountains that surrounded her town, and it was on one such hike that she met the love of her life, a man named Jack.Jack was tall and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a quick wit that always kept Emma on her toes. They spent countless hours together, exploring the mountain trails and getting to know each other. They fell deeply in love, and Emma knew that Jack was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.But there was a problem. Jack was a miner, working in the mines that dug deep into the mountain that Emma loved so much. The mines were dangerous, and accidents were common. Emma knew that every time Jack went down into the mines, there was a chance he might not come back up.Despite her fears, Emma continued to love Jack with all her heart. They shared a deep connection that couldn’t be broken, and Emma was willing to take the risk, no matter how great it might be.One day, as Jack was working in the mines, there was a terrible accident. The tunnels collapsed, trapping Jack and several other miners inside. Emma waited anxiously for news, her heart heavy with worry. After hours of waiting, the rescue workers finally emerged from the mines, but their faces were grim.Jack was gone, along with the other miners. Emma was devastated, her heart shattered into a million pieces. She knew that she would never love anyone else as deeply as she had loved Jack.But Emma refused to let Jack’s memory fade away. She continued to hike the mountain trails that they had once explored together, always feeling Jack’s presence by her side. And as she climbed higher and higher, she felt as though she was getting closer to the other side of the mountain, where Jack was waiting for her.Years went by, and Emma grew old. Her body weakened, but her love for Jack never faded. And one day, as she lay in her bed, ready to take her final journey, she felt Jack’s presence again. She closed her eyes and felt herself being lifted up, up into the mountain, where Jack was waiting for her on the other side of Shart Mountain.Their love story may have been bittersweet, but Emma knew that it was a love that would last forever, spanning the other side of Shart Mountain and beyond.

    “The family asks for privacy,” she said, posting on social media.

    So do they mean “complication” as in “there was another medical issue, and then there was a complication” or do they just mean… he had a medical issue?
