People close to Hollywood actor Jaime Foxx say they are “preparing for the worst” as he remains hospitalized over a “medical emergency” that took place four weeks ago, RadarOnline claimed in a report on Wednesday.
According to the outlet’s sources, Foxx, 55, may be in a worse condition than his team is letting on after suffering what some have said to be complications stemming from high blood pressure.
“Jamie’s people are saying he’s doing OK and improving, while doctors try to get to the bottom of his problems — but he wouldn’t be in a hospital this long if he was anything close to OK,” said the source.

Due to his medical emergency, Foxx has been replaced by Nick Cannon as the host of the Beat Shazam! game show on FOX.
“Man, I’m praying. I literally have been saying prayers out loud,” Cannon said of Foxx’s condition.
RadarOnline claims that their sources say Foxx’s medical complications are “incredibly dire.”
“It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived. He is very lucky to be alive!” said the source, noting that the actor was likely saved by physicians in the emergency room.

An additional source claimed Foxx suffers from high blood pressure, which can lead to blood clots in the brain and strokes.
The report added that Foxx’s condition is “far more serious than his camp claims,” noting that “his friends and family are hoping for the best — but preparing for the worst.”
