In a recent turn of events, actor Jamie Foxx found himself embroiled in controversy after posting a message on Instagram that offended the Jewish community. The post made reference to Jews allegedly killing Jesus, sparking outrage and swift backlash. However, in a follow-up statement on Saturday, Foxx issued a public apology, expressing regret for his choice of words and acknowledging the offense caused. He clarified that his remarks were never intended to be antisemitic and that he holds love and support for everyone, including the Jewish community.
Foxx’s original post, which was quickly taken down, came under the radar of Jewish groups, who shared and criticized it online. The incident also drew attention from actress Jennifer Aniston, who was initially thought to have liked the post but clarified that she did not support any form of antisemitism.
Aside from the controversy, Foxx has been dealing with a major health scare earlier this year, which led to a hospitalization lasting over a month. The actor has been seen engaging in fun activities in Chicago as he continues his recovery, though details about his medical condition remain private.
As the fallout from the social media post continues, Jamie Foxx’s apology attempts to repair the damage and reaffirm his commitment to promoting love and understanding.
