Over the weekend, actress Jennifer Aniston faced criticism after her official Instagram account appeared to have liked a cryptic post from her co-star Jamie Foxx, known for their roles in “Horrible Bosses.” The post in question, shared by Foxx, referenced Jesus being killed and included hashtags like #fakefriends and #fakelove. The post was later deleted.
Jamie Foxx, who has been recovering from a medical emergency since April 2023, clarified that the post was directed at a “fake friend” who had betrayed him. He expressed his deepest apologies for any pain the post may have caused and emphasized his love and support for the Jewish community.
The controversial post was criticized by A Wider Frame, a Jewish news organization, which saw it as “horrifically antisemitic” due to its reference to the accusation of Jewish deicide and its potential to fuel antisemitism.
A screenshot indicated that either Jennifer Aniston herself or someone using her Instagram account had liked Foxx’s original post. Aniston swiftly addressed the situation on her Instagram Story, stating that she did not intentionally or accidentally “like” the post. She emphasized her opposition to antisemitism and any form of hate.
Foxx also issued a statement directed at the Jewish community, apologizing for the offense caused by his choice of words and expressing his love and support for them.
