Foxx’s latest social media posts haven’t all been so positive – earlier this month, he found himself facing backlash after posting what many considered to be an antisemitic statement.
The message consisted of simple white text on a black background that read in all caps, “THEY KILLED THIS DUDE NAME JESUS… WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’LL DO TO YOU???!” He also added the hashtags “fake friends” and “fake love.”

Many people on social media assumed that Foxx’s words had an antisemitic meaning, attributing his use of “they” as a reference to the Jewish people.

One, a journalist and self-described Zionist named Eve Barlow, blasted Foxx’s words on Twitter, writing, “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. He has 16.7 million followers. I’m not waiting on him to further expand.”
Shortly after the post began receiving criticism, Foxx deleted it and shared an apology.

He wrote, “Hey guys. I want to apologize to the Jewish community and anyone else who was offended by my post… I know my words were clumsy and have caused offense… that was never my intent… to clarify… I felt betrayed by a fake friend… and that’s what I meant about ‘they’ nothing more…”
The actor continued, saying, “I have love in my heart for everyone. I support the Jewish community and all faiths… and I’m against all hate! Once again my deepest apologies.”
