Celebrity Gossip Columnist Tells Dr. Drew that Jamie Foxx Suffered A Stroke Shortly After Receiving COVID-19 Vaccine

A candid statement could put an end to gossip and speculation.

Actor Jamie Foxx is not only a much loved public figure, he was also, at the age of 55, in excellent physical condition just prior to being rushed (in April 2023) to hospital after suffering from an “unspecified medical complication.” Foxx had recently been in Atlanta on the set of a new Netflix film titled Back in Action.

About a year ago, Mr. Foxx told Dr. McCullough that he had profound misgivings about the COVID-19 vaccine. Though he did not solicit Peter’s advice, Peter nevertheless encouraged him to hold out in the event that he came under film industry pressure to receive it.

On May 16, 2023, ABC News reported that he was, according to TMZ Online, in a rehabilitation center (apparently for stroke and brain injury patients) after his hospital release. On May 30, celebrated New York gossip columnist, A.J. Benza, told Dr. Drew that—according to a hospital informant—Jamie Fox suffered a stroke after being compelled to receive the COVID-19 shot in order to remain on the cast of Back in Action.

To be sure, Mr. Benza is a gossip columnist and not a renowned investigative journalist. It seems to me that the best way to end the gossip and speculation is for Mr. Foxx’s family to clarify what happened to him in a candid statement. If he did NOT receive the COVID-19 vaccine before being hospitalized with an “unspecified medical complication” clarifying this could at least partly dispel the rumors.

This seems like a fitting moment to share my favorite scene in all of Jamie Foxx’s brilliant acting career—surely one of the best pieces of screenwriting and acting in cinematic history.
