Jamie Foxx has recently found himself at the center of controversy once again, after making a shocking comment about “white women” during his new Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…
The 57-year-old actor’s remark, which many believe targeted his ex, Katie Holmes, has sparked outrage.
Foxx said, “Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls. I’m serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more.”
The backlash comes at a time when Foxx is already in the spotlight for another troubling incident—just days ago, a glass was thrown at his face during a 57th birthday celebration, leaving him requiring stitches.
The incident came after Foxx publicly revealed that last year’s hospitalization was due to a stroke caused by a brain bleed.
This is not the first time Foxx has landed in hot water.
Last year, he was forced to apologize after an Instagram post was seen as anti-Semitic.
The post, which included the message “They killed this dude called Jesus… what do you think they’ll do to you???!” along with the hashtags #fakefriends and #fakelove, drew backlash from fans who interpreted it as an anti-Semitic remark.
He later clarified that the post was not aimed at the Jewish community.
Meanwhile, Foxx’s ex, Katie Holmes, was spotted out in New York City for the first time since the comment about his “cure” from dating white women.
The actress appeared to brush off the controversy, flashing a tight smile while walking through the streets of the city.
