Actor Jamie Foxx issued a heartfelt apology to the Jewish community on Saturday following a controversial Instagram post that was accused of promoting antisemitism. In his apology, Foxx acknowledged the offense caused by his choice of words and expressed remorse for any harm caused. He clarified that his intention was never to perpetuate hatred or discrimination.
The now-deleted post in question featured the cryptic message, “THEY KILLED THIS DUDE NAME JESUS…WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’LL DO TO YOU???! #fakefriends #fakelove.” The motive behind the post remains unclear.
A Wider Frame, a newsletter dedicated to providing a comprehensive understanding of Jewish world news, shared Foxx’s original post, describing it as “horrifically antisemitic.” Actress Jennifer Aniston further ignited the controversy by reposting A Wider Frame’s criticism, vehemently expressing her disgust and reaffirming her stance against any form of antisemitism.
Foxx, who is currently recuperating from a undisclosed medical emergency, clarified that his post was directed at a specific “fake friend” who had betrayed him. He emphasized that his remarks were not intended to generalize or offend the Jewish community, expressing his love and support for them.
Numerous individuals rallied behind Foxx, arguing that his message was misinterpreted and rooted in a phrase commonly used within the Black community. They explained that the reference to Jesus being mistreated simply symbolized the possibility of betrayal, and was unrelated to Jewish people or antisemitism.
Overall, Foxx’s apology demonstrated genuine remorse and a commitment to learning from the incident. Through his clarification and expressions of love and support for the Jewish community, he aimed to mend any hurt caused by his words.
