Jamie Foxx's latest post has him under fire on social media. On Friday, Foxx posted a black square on Instagram with the words, “they killed this dude named Jesus… What do you think they’ll do to you???!” followed by the hashtags “fake friends” and “fake love.” Foxx quickly deleted the post.

On Saturday (Aug. 5), Foxx walked back his statement and posted an apology.

“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 wrote.

“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.”

“paralyzed” or “blind” due to the medical emergency he suffered in April, he decided to clear up the misconceptions about his health in a video posted to Instagram last month.

“You know, by being quiet, sometimes things get out of hand, people saying what I got [and] some people said I was blind, but as you can see the eyes are working. The eyes are working just fine!” Jamie said in a July 22 Instagram video. “They said I was paralyzed, I’m not paralyzed, but I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well. I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”

He ended the video by saying, “I'm on my way back.”
