In July, Jamie Foxx shared his first video update regarding his “medical complication.” While there was much speculation surrounding the actor’s health, body language expert, communication coach, and author of “A.W.E.S.O.M.E.,” Jess Ponce III, told Nicki Swift the post appears sincere.
In the Instagram video, the “Ray” actor explains that he “went through something.” Although Foxx never explains what he dealt with, it was clear to Ponce that the journey was difficult. He shared exclusively with Nicki Swift, “He [Foxx] was being thoughtful on what he was going to share and not share. Holding his cards close to his chest, he also gave a sense of importance to what he’s been going through.” The communication coach even called Foxx’s actions unapologetic as the actor explained his recent struggles. At one point in the video, Foxx even got teary-eyed and shared how “tough” this experience has been. Although Foxx is a professional actor, the tears didn’t seem fake to Ponce. He explained, “He came across very sincere, his eyes were soft and watery. He was emotional.”

Unlike many instances with celebrities’ personal lives, Ponce explained that Foxx seems to be controlling this narrative. The author shared, “Jamie is not only course correcting what has been speculated, he unapologetically creating the narrative. He’s managing and getting ahead of this story — and doing it with emotion and gravitas. He’s clear and concise in his cadence, tone, and posture.”
