Tim was also spotted by some paparazzi while leaving the hospital and shared, “He’s feeling better. Took him some car magazines. We did some jokes, which is what we do. We commiserated. We just connected as friends.” He also joked, “Face looks great. It didn’t look all that good to begin with.”
Now, Jay has reportedly left the hospital after 10 days and will be recovering at home. His doctor anticipates that he will make a full recovery and hopes that the scarring will be minimal after healing.
