Good thing she got a second opinion.
After announcing in a statement Sunday that she had tested positive for COVID-19, Vivica A. Fox is setting the record straight that she doesn’t have the deadly virus.
The 56-year-old “Booty Call” actress now says her diagnosis was a false positive.
“On Friday I took a self administered COVID-19 test and as many of you are aware, it came back positive,” Fox wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “Two days ago I took another COVID test, this one administered by a medical professional, and I am thrilled to announce that last night my results came back NEGATIVE!”
“I am feeling great and I want to thank everyone for their show of love and support,” the NAACP Image Award winner added, before posting an image of her negative test result.
Fox was set to co-host the E! Emmy virtual red carpet on Sunday but pulled out because of what she believed was a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Her pre-show co-host, Giuliana Rancic, also cancelled after revealing that she, too, had tested positive for COVID-19.
Celebrity fashion stylist Brad Goreski and former TMZ personality Nina Parker ended up hosting the show.
