Jamie Foxx apologizes, denies antisemitism over Instagram post about Jesus’ death:
: “This really makes me sick. I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident. And more important, 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.”
On Saturday, Foxx acknowledged concerns about his post but strongly denied that he was referring to Jewish people. “I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post,” Foxx wrote in a follow-up post Saturday. “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.
“I am Jewish and I thought it was one helluva leap to call it antisemitic,” David Krumholtz, an actor who recently starred in “Oppenheimer,” replied to Foxx’s apology. “I knew exactly what you meant. Everybody needs to chill.”
