Jamie Foxx: What we know about actor's medical incident

The Hollywood superstar was hospitalized in Atlanta on April 11.

ATLANTA — Little new information on actor's Jamie Foxx's condition after a "medical complication" has been released this week.

As of Friday afternoon, Foxx is thought to remain in an Atlanta hospital. Last weekend, he was reported to be "awake and alert."

On Thursday, actress Tiffany Haddish told Entertainment Tonight that she heard Foxx is "doing well", stating that she and Foxx had several mutual friends and they were "keeping her updated."

"I've been praying really hard for him," Haddish said. "I love that man a lot. That's my big bro."

What led to Foxx's hospitalization has not been publicly released to this point by family, who have said he "experienced a medical complication", apparently on April 11.

The complication occurred while Foxx was in Atlanta working on his film "Back in Action." It reportedly did not happen on set.

Foxx's official Instagram account remained silent since April 6, although friends and fans have continued to leave comments on his most recent post. On May 3, the account posted again.

Stars including Martin Lawrence have shared some of what they know about the situation, and Nick Cannon told Entertainment Tonight last week that Foxx was "doing so much better."
