“Django Unchained” actor Jamie Foxx recently courted controversy with a cryptic tweet referring to those who “killed this dude name[d] Jesus” that multiple social media<\/a> users saw as antisemitic.<\/p>\n

Following the backlash, Foxx deleted the post, and shared another one apologizing for it and claiming it was in no way intended to be antisemitic. He said it was just about “a fake friend” who wronged him.<\/p>\n

Foxx shared the original post with his nearly 17 million Instagram followers on Friday. The message consisted of simple white text on a black background that read in all caps, “THEY KILLED THIS DUDE NAME JESUS\u2026 WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY\u2019LL DO TO YOU???!”<\/p>\n

At the end of the somewhat vague message, Foxx added, “#fakefriends” and “#fakelove.”<\/p>\n

Multiple social media assumed that Foxx\u2019s words had an antisemitic meaning<\/a>, attributing his use of “they” as a reference to the Jewish people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One, a journalist and self-described Zionist named Eve Barlow blasted Foxx\u2019s words on Twitter, writing, “I am a Jewish advocate who fights antisemitism. Jamie Foxx\u2019s post was a horrifically antisemitic message rooted in classic blood libel and anti-Jewish conspiracy theory. He has 16.7 million followers. I\u2019m not waiting on him to further expand.”<\/p>\n

Executive editor of Jewish outlet “Jewish Insider,” Melissa Weiss assumed the post was antisemitic as well, tweeting, “Seeing someone like Jamie Foxx post antisemitic content is a sad reminder that Jews can\u2019t just exist like most everyone else. There will always be people who hate us.”<\/p>\n

The account for a Jewish author and attorney @HowardA_AtLaw added, “Just once I\u2019d like to log onto this site and not see antisemitism, especially from huge celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston. You don\u2019t want to be an ally, fine, but leave us the heck alone!”<\/p>\n

The account had noticed that “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston<\/a> “liked” Foxx\u2019s post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once users started attributing antisemitism to it, Aniston posted a message to her own Instagram, “I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. And I truly don\u2019t tolerate HATE of any kind. Period.”<\/p>\n

Others disagreed with the antisemitic reading of Foxx\u2019s message. Political commentator Anthony Brian Logan tweeted, “Jamie Foxx did not say anything antisemitic. The problem is that some people felt like he was talking about them when referencing the people who killed Jesus. Guilty conscious.”<\/p>\n

Another user added that the accusations represented “an incredibly uncharitable reading given Jamie Foxx has just passed through a health scare in which people close to him were selling misinformation that he was on his death bed and what not.”<\/p>\n

Foxx deleted the post once the backlash ensued and shortly followed it with a post apologizing for the original and clarifying that it was not meant to be antisemitic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He wrote, “Hey guys. I want to apologize to the Jewish community and anyone else who was offended by my post\u2026 I know my words were clumsy and have caused offense\u2026 that was never my intent\u2026 to clarify\u2026 I felt betrayed by a fake friend\u2026 and that\u2019s what I meant about \u2018they\u2019 nothing more\u2026”<\/p>\n

The actor continued, saying, “I have love in my heart for everyone. I support the Jewish community and all faiths\u2026 and I\u2019m against all hate! Once again my deepest apologies.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Jamie Foxx for comment. They responded with a link to the just-published Instagram apology.<\/p>\n
