an apology Saturday after a since-deleted post on social media the previous night was interpreted by some to be antisemitic.
“I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post,” Foxx wrote on Instagram Saturday following the swift backlash. “I now know my choice of words have cause offense and I’m sorry. That was never my intent.” On Friday, Foxx posted on Instagram without explanation, “They killed this dude name Jesus … What do you think they’ll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove.” Overnight, the post created an uproar on social media, forcing Foxx to both delete the message and offer an explanation the following morning.
“To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that’s what I meant with ‘they’ not anything more. I only have love in my heart for everyone. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended,” Foxx wrote Saturday.actor David Krumholtz defended Foxx, writing in the comments of the apology, “I am Jewish and I thought it was one helluva leap to call it antisemitic. I knew exactly what you meant. Everybody needs to chill.
The controversy also somehow roped in Jennifer Aniston, who may or may not have liked Foxx’s post Friday night,. “This really makes me sick,” Aniston said on Instagram Stories after an image of her liking Foxx’s post spread. “I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident,” Aniston wrote.
