TMZ reported that the post was later removed, with a CNN spokesperson apologizing, saying: “The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and sent our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”Fox’s rep also provided a clarification: “Michael is doing great. He was at PaleyFest yesterday. He was on stage and doing interviews.”The actor made a surprise appearance at the PaleyFest LA event held at the Dolby Theater, where he joined the celebration of season 3 of the comedy series “Shrinking.” The event featured a screening and discussion led by co-creators Bill Lawrence and Jason Segel, along with cast members, among others.
