CNN —Jamie Foxx is attempting to clear up a misunderstanding stemming from a since-deleted social media post that was criticized by some as antisemitic. In a text post shared to his Instagram on Saturday, the Oscar-winning actor wrote, “I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post. Critics of the post interpreted “they” as the Jewish people, and historically antisemitism has been linked to the belief Jews are responsible for the death of Jesus. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended.”The posts come after Foxx experienced a still undisclosed “medical complication” that landed him in the hospital this past spring.
