Jamie Foxx has friends in high places.
Foxx, 55, broke his silence Friday on Instagram, nearly three months after privately suffering a “medical complication” where he admitted he went “to hell and back.”
“I can’t even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back,” she said after thanking fans for their prayers. “I went through something I thought would never, ever happen. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates and to be honest with you, I didn’t want to be seen like that.”
Will Smith, The Rock, Reese Witherspoon and LL Cool J were just a few of the many Hollywood stars who left comments supporting Foxx on his road to recovery.
Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, didn’t mince words on Foxx’s Instagram feed, which received more than a million likes in less than 15 hours after it was posted online.
