“I’ve talked to people very close to Foxx, [he] is doing well,” said Coleman, 37.
“I hate that the media outlets kept running with the narrative of what was going on without having the proper information.”
Coleman starred alongside Foxx, 55, in the 2021 Netflix comedy series Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!

During the short interview, Coleman also noted that she isn’t surprised that details surrounding Foxx’s hospitalisation have been kept under wraps citing that the actor is hugely private.
“If you’ve noticed, Jamie Foxx has always been on the low,” Coleman said to Entertainment Tonight.
“Even when it came to dating, Jamie’s always been private, so it never surprised me. Once I heard the news, of course, I reached out, but how Foxx is doing it is how Foxx should be doing it. He’s resting, he’s well. And he’s going to be back. Trust and believe.”

“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.”
