The Jewish community came for Foxx after the actor made a now-deleted Instagram post which that came off to them as antisemitic, they didn’t hesitate to attack him.
On August 4, the “Spiderman: No Way Home” actor wrote in black and white, “THEY KILLED THIS DUDE JESUS… WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’LL DO TO YOU???! #fakefriends #fakelove.”
While to some, the post felt like Foxx was trying to warn his followers to beware and steer clear of fake friends who come to them with fake love, the reverse was the case for the Jews as they felt that Foxx’s message was purely antisemitic.
Jamie Foxx — The Reactions That Followed Foxx’s Post
Foxx’s cryptic post turned controversial in a blink of an eye as a critic rushed to the comments section and typed, “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.”
Another person seconded the comment and added, “Seeing someone like Jamie Foxx post antisemitic content is a sad reminder that Jews can’t just exist like most everyone else. There will always be people who hate us.”
Back on Twitter, someone asked, “For crying out loud. Has Jamie Foxx gone full Kanye on us? #JewHate,” and another tweeted, “Sigh. Looks like Jamie Foxx has been hanging out with #Kanye. #Antisemitism.”
Meanwhile, just like everyone can’t be against one person, there are people who believe that Foxx isn’t antisemite and that his post was heavily misconstrued.

One of them wrote, “How did Jamie Foxx’s post read as antisemitic? (Rhetorical question) It’s so easy to think from your own experiences ..but literally as a Black person raised Christian in Texas as well I know for a fact he was talking about friends and followers betraying you not Jews ”
Someone else tried to weigh the post from the views of both sides and explained what can be summarized as both opinions being valid.
The person wrote, “Jamie Foxx could be talking about friends who betrayed him, but the accusation of deicide is one that has led to the torment and persecution of Jews for centuries and this is why this comment is dangerous. Some of the comments on it have been repugnant to say the least.”
Jamie Foxx — Foxx Explains His Post
Following the brouhaha his post caused, Foxx took it upon himself to explain the misunderstanding and what his message was about. Taking to his Instagram the next day, Foxx began by apologizing for the misunderstanding.
“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.”
He then offered an explanation. “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.”
However, while the noise about Foxx’s writeup was ongoing, the attention was shifted a little bit towards the star of ” Bounty Hunter” Jennifer Aniston.
It happened that right before Foxx wiped the existence of the post from his timeline, Aniston liked the post, and a screenshot of it was taken.
A Jewish news Instagram account that goes by the name, A Wider Frame — an outlet that aims to provide “a better overall understanding and scope of Jewish world news,” per its website, shared the screenshot with Aniston’s reaction on it, thereby creating the impression that Aniston has gone Antisemite with Foxx.
The post forced the “Friends” actress to quickly set the record straight on her stance with the Jews because, “This really makes me sick,” wrote Aniston.
Before adding, “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 don’t tolerate HATE of any kind. Period.”
