has issued an apology for an Instagram post he shared on Friday. The post, which Foxx later clarified was in reference to a personal issue, had been perceived as being antisemitic by some followers.
In response to the accusations, Foxx took to Instagram on Saturday, writing “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.”The post continued, “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.
Some celebrities took to the comment section of Foxx’s post to defend the actor. “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,” wrote actor David Krumholtz.
