Rumor has it that Jamie Foxx has refused to visit his dying father. According to The National Enquirer, sources say Jamie's stepmother Hellema Abdullah said that his 74-year-old dad is "devastated" that the actor doesn't want to see him or speaek to him. Jamie's parents Darrell Bishop and Louise Annette Talley had him when they were very young -- so they decided to let Louise's parents adopt him. They later broke up and Jamie's dad converted to Islam, changing his named to Shaheed Abdullah. The two haven't had regular contact with eachother in years.

She said, "We've called Jamie several times over the years and left hundreds of messages. But he has never returned our calls. Now his father is sick with severe scar tissue on his lungs and has to be on oxygen every day. I just wish Jamie would call."

  • An insider said, "Jamie had kept in periodic contact with his father because his grandmother who raised him had encouraged it. But he hasn't spoken to him since his grandmother died in 2004. Jamie doesn't plan on calling Shaheed anytime soon. He's getting revenge by abandoning his father, much like his dad did to him years ago."
