I don’t like this because this is not him speaking to a news outlet this is them catching him with the camera. This is rude. Let him speak to an outlet or tell jokes, or however, he wants to tell it let him do it when he’s ready don’t catch him with a camera. and call it an interview.

My mom had similar symptoms and it was a stroke. She fully recovered and then suffered a second stroke earlier this year. She's still unable to walk, but has high hopes for another full recovery. Well wishes to him and his family.

Ummm yeah he was poisoned by Diddy because Jamie was working with the feds, diddy found out and tried to kill him with cyanide poisoning, diddys bodyguard just spilled the beans. 😢

[WaitingtoHit]

He was as vague as ever. You wasted our time. Disliked . . .

[iamknosound]

Ok I'm starting to believe that he doesn't want to relinquish the full medical prognosis because Hollywood will view him as a liability in movies. So he sees it as "tell em nothing they got nothing."

[nitzubishi]

Sounds like he either had an aneurysm or suffered a concussion on the movie set that wasn't properly diagnosed or treated, and he now has to remain mum while OSHA and the lawyers sort it out

“Jamie Fox Opens Up…” Oh really? I must’ve missed something. 🤔

[JasonO-weqt]

Brings up a lot of questions. Who else died mysteriously over the years in this way by people like this. All those “drug overdoses” in Hollywood. Mathew Perry comes to mind. Died a year ago yesterday.

[cubefarmerhkc]

He’s so healthy looking too. Like a pro athlete.

[romelleabdulaleem]

Didn't they insist on the jab right before his medical emergency?

[lindasigler]

They poison Jamie he knew to much about the industry. So, that what nasty Diddy did to him. Thise evildoers trid to shut him up. GOD IS WITH YOU JAMIE, AMEN

[DonoVideoProductions]

You know what? It's nobody's business. Leave him alone.

[abeltesfaye_]

He had a stroke & he knows it. It's pretty obvious given what led up it and because he was treated at the best stroke treatment center in the country. Disgusting y'all are sharing this with the world against his will.

[chaseworthley]

Did he have over exposure to the baby oil?!

[juderoberts]

There is too much not being said! Jamie either had an aneurysm or something more devious happened to him. In light of Diddy, industry mogul cover ups, others who spoke out now proven correct - we are all suspecting 'devious'!! It may be a safe time for Jamie to tell the truth.

[cindyb]

He’s not telling the real truth, not what his diagnosis was, still hiding the truth, it sounds like a stroke to me.

I keep hearing about ATL doctors. Not saying all doctors in ATL don't know what they are doing but a large majority of them don't know what they are doing.

[Mr.International]

It wasn’t a health scare! Jamie exposed or pissed off someone of a high status or power and was fighting for his life for speaking out

[kennethsmith]

His medical emergency might have been Diddy.

[siewheilou]

I just saw a video Jamie was poisoned by Diddy, hoax or true?
