"I don’t want to be a victim of concussions, or any other type of blame."

Frankie Muniz addressed the rumors about his memory loss.

During a podcast appearance, the actor from "Malcolm in the Middle", commented on what was previously thought to have been a series "mini strokes" that he experienced between 2012 and 2013. This resulted in significant memory loss.

Muniz claimed that he was misdiagnosed, and actually suffered from migraine auras.

Frankie said, "This is the first opportunity that I've ever actually gotten to clarify." "If you search for my name, it only talks about how I don't remember anything or that I'm dying from strokes and all that stuff. ... If you search my name, it will basically say "Frankie's dying."

"I have thought about it a lot over the years. I don't know why. You get what I'm referring to. My only rational response is that I have had nine concussions. I'm not going to put the blame on the concussions. Frankie referred to his busy work schedule as a child actor.

Muniz was also a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars", where he finished third. Muniz recalled particularly the week that featured contestants reflecting on their most memorable year.

Frankie stated, "To be completely honest, like, 'Dancing With the Stars’ is my favorite show, and I don’t want to tell them anything that will make me hate them. But they kind of tells you what your most memorable year will be,"

He said, "You see what I mean?" They were all like, "It's 2001 because that's when you were nominated to an Emmy or the Golden Globes." I say, "I don't recall what I felt back then." You know what? It was me just kind of blaming the fact that I couldn't say "That's my favourite year" because I couldn't tell you what actually happened in 2001. I had to say something like "I don't really recall." However, I was not saying that I didn't remember anything.

Frankie admitted that he couldn't recall much about "Malcolm in the Middle" but he was able to watch it again in recent years, and enjoyed the film as a fan.

He admitted that it almost felt like it was not him. It makes me sad. It's like things come back to my head that I should have remembered. I have done everything I wanted. The truth is that I don't remember much.
