"First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that's prayed, man, and sent me messages. I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back," Foxx began."I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through."
"I know a lot of people were waiting, you know, or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn't want you to see me like that, man," he continued."You know, I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie television show. I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.
"And to be honest with you, my sister Deidre Dixon, my daughter, Corrine Marie, saved my life," Foxx added."To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video."host went on to thank his family for keeping the details of his mystery illness under wraps."I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way," Foxx said."And, y'all know, they kept it airtight. They didn't let nothing out.
The Oscar winner noted that since he and his family have remained"quiet" about his condition, people made assumptions, with Foxx jokingly referencing the rumors that he was blind, paralyzed or a clone. "I did go through, I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well," he said."But I'm coming back and I'm able to work. So I want to thank the people that let me work, and I just wanna say that I love everybody and I love all of the love that I got.""I know they talk about people crying on videos. You know, you could do take two, but I'm not gonna do a take two," Foxx explained."This, it is what it is.
