Jamie Foxx makes brutal joke during Netflix special after Katie Holmes romance

“I’ve been cured”: The actor and comedian didn’t hold back while addressing his high-profile dating life in his new Netflix special.

Jamie Foxx reveals he suffered brain bleed and stroke in near-fatal medical emergency

Jamie Foxx has sworn off white women.

While addressing his 2023 medical emergency — which he said was a stroke due to a brain bleed — in his Netflix special, What Had Happened Was …, Foxx, 56, broke out in song, claiming he was done dating white women despite his previous six-year relationship with Katie Holmes.

The Dawson’s Creek actress, 45, started dating Foxx in 2013 after finalising her divorce from Tom Cruise the year before, reports the New York Post.

The pair went public with their romance in 2015 and made their first red carpet debut in 2019 before breaking up later that year.

“Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured,” Foxx declared during his comedy special, which became available to stream on Netflix on December 10.

“I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls. I’m serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls,” he said as the audience excitedly applauded.

“I’m back on the black side of town!” Foxx shared. “No more white girls. No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls. No more spray tan, no more big t**s no a**e, no more white girls.”

Foxx has dated several white women besides Holmes, including his daughter’s mother, Connie Kline. The duo began a relationship in 1993 and welcomed Corinne in February 1994.

In 2005, Foxx was linked to beauty queen-turned-actress Leila Arcieri before welcoming his second daughter, Anelise, with Kristin Grannis in October 2008.

He also dated Haitian-born Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais between 1996 and 2001 — but his long-term romance was with Holmes.

While his comedy audience liked the “white women” bit, not everyone on social media believes he’ll stick to it.

“Interesting. It took a stroke???” one person reacted. “Jamie funny as s**t because he lying like hell LMFAOOOOO,” a second wrote.

“I don’t believe him. But I’m going to mind my business,” commented a third, while someone else added, “Jamie knows he lyin’.”

Foxx’s dating declaration isn’t the only one he made during the What Had Happened Was … set.

The comedian also opened up about his medical emergency — and addressed the accusations that Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly responsible for his hospitalisation.

The Oscar winner shared that he had a “brain bleed that led to a stroke.”

“April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for an Aspirin. I realised quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f**k to do,” Foxx recalled.

“Before I could get the Aspirin [clicks his fingers] I went out. I don’t remember 20 days.”

Regarding the rumours that Diddy “was trying to kill me,” Foxx just laughed them off.

“The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that’s what the internet was saying. I know what you thinking, ‘Diddy?’” the star joked. “Hell no, I left them parties early. I was out by 9, something don’t look right. It’s slippery in here.”

Foxx’s joke was about the allegations that Diddy would often host “freak off” sex parties where he would allegedly force women to have sex with male prostitutes, often plying them with drugs. He reportedly recorded the sessions to allegedly use for blackmail.

Diddy was arrested in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He’s currently behind bars awaiting his sex trafficking trial, scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
