Jamie Foxx apologizes for Instagram post that echoed antisemitic trope – Superstar says he wrote ‘they killed this dude name Jesus’ because he ‘felt betrayed by a fake friend… nothing more,’ stresses he ‘supports the Jewish community and all faiths’ | Timesofisrael

Performer Jamie Foxx apologized Saturday for posting a cryptic statement online that seemed to parrot antisemitic tropes.
“Hey guys, I want to apologize to the Jewish community and anyone else who was offended by my post,” Foxx wrote on Instagram. “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.
