The news surrounding actor Jamie Foxx continues to be dire. As Media Take Out was first to report, people close to Jamie are telling folks that Jamie suffered either a strike, or a clot in the brain.
And now, Media Take Out spoke to a person in Jamie’s inner circle who told us that Jamie is believed to have suffered a “brain injury,” and it’s not clear whether he will ever fully recover.
