Jamie Foxx has issued an apology for a now-deleted Instagram post that was interpreted as having antisemitic undertones. Foxx expressed regret for his choice of words in the original post. In another post on Instagram, Foxx, while clarifying his intentions and offering apologies, wrote, “I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post. I now know my choice of words have caused offense and I’m 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. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended. … Nothing but love always, Jamie Foxx.” The controversy surrounding the post also involved actor Jennifer Aniston, who seems to have liked the original post. Aniston swiftly addressed the situation on her Instagram stories, denouncing any form of antisemitism and expressing her aversion to hate. “This really makes me sick. I did not “like” this post on purpose or by accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds – I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. And I truly don’t tolerate HATE of any kind. Period,” Aniston wrote. The critics accused Foxx's post of indirectly propagating the antisemitic notion that a section of people were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ.
