Jamie Foxx Apologizes After Facing Backlash For Antisemitic Post!

perezhilton.com:

Jamie Foxx is offering up an apology after being accused of penning an antisemitic post. In case you missed it, the 55-year-old actor shared a cryptic and random post to Instagram that read: Jamie didn’t offer any more context about the post but insisted in the comments he really posted the message and had “a story ta tell.” It seemed the Blame It singer was calling out his pals amid his health scare.

However, he has since been met with backlash for the language used in the post and accused of spreading antisemitic rhetoric – whether it be unintentionally or not.

Awful. So with this in mind, people have called Jamie out on social media for his antisemitic remark, compared him to Kanye West, and more: Some even noticed that Jennifer Aniston liked the controversial post when it was still up and called her out for it.

However, she cleared the air and called out Jamie on her Instagram Stories Friday, writing: Since the backlash, Jamie has deleted the post.
