Jamie Foxx issued an apology on social media, responding to backlash over a recent Instagram post that was criticized as being antisemitic. The 55-year-old star has come under fire for his choice of words, which some deemed offensive to the Jewish community.
The controversy stems from a now-deleted Instagram post made by Foxx, in which he wrote, “They killed this dude named Jesus … What do you think they’ll do to you???!”.
He also included in the post the hashtags “#fakefriends” and “#fakelove,” which according to Foxx, referred to a recent personal betrayal, not a broader group or the Jewish community.
Whoah.
