Jamie Foxx has issued an apology to the Jewish community and anyone else who was offended by a cryptic post he had shared.
The actor had been criticized for writing a post on Instagram which seemed to reinforce a belief that Jews are collectively responsible for the death of Jesus. In the post, he wrote: “They killed this dude name Jesus… What do you think they’ll do to you?”
Friends star Jennifer Anniston was listed as having liked the post, although she later clarified that she had not done so deliberately. She said the post had made her “sick” and that she does not support any form of antisemitism.
In light of this, Foxx took to Instagram again to apologize. He said he now understands how his choice of words had caused offense and that it had not been his intention. He went on to clarify that he had been referring to a friend who had betrayed him rather than any wider group.
Foxx also wrote that he had nothing but love in his heart for everyone and that he loves and supports the Jewish community. He offered his “deepest apologies to anyone who was offended” and signed off with “Nothing but love always, Jamie Foxx.”
The apology comes after the actor was rushed to hospital with a mystery illness in April and spent several weeks in hospital. Though details of his ordeal remain unclear, Foxx thanked his fans for their support.
