“I now know my choice of words have caused offense and I am sorry. That was never my intent.”“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.”
“Glad to see this, big fan of yours and didn’t know what to think of this post, thanks for posting this apology and good luck on your continuing recovery,” one person commented. The post Foxx originally shared, which sparked a ton of backlash online, read, “They killed this dude named Jesus … What do you think they’ll do to you?! #fakefriends #fakelove.”
One critic previously tweeted in response, “I am a Jewish advocate who fights antisemitism. Jamie Foxx’s post was a horrifically antisemitic message rooted in classic blood libel and anti Jewish conspiracy theory.”
