Jamie Foxx apologises to Jewish community after controversial Instagram post
The CNN article discusses actor Jamie Foxx’s apology to the Jewish community for a now-deleted social media post that was perceived as antisemitic. In the text post shared on Instagram, Foxx expressed regret, acknowledging that his choice of words had caused offense, although that was not his intention. The controversial post referred to the killing of Jesus and included hashtags #fakefriends and #fakelove.
Critics interpreted the term “they” in Foxx’s original post as referring to the Jewish people, connecting it to historical antisemitic beliefs that blame Jews for Jesus’ death. However, Foxx clarified that he meant “they” to represent a fake friend who betrayed him, not a reference to any specific group.
Foxx emphasized that he holds love and support for everyone, including the Jewish community, and offered his sincerest apologies to anyone who was offended. This statement comes after the actor experienced a medical complication earlier in the year that led to his hospitalization.
The article also mentions an earlier tribute video in which Foxx credited his sister with saving his life during the medical ordeal. The actor’s apology serves to address the controversy surrounding his post and express his commitment to promoting understanding and respect among all communities.
