Jamie Foxx has been branded as “antisemitic” after sharing a controversial Instagram post Friday referring to the killing of Jesus Christ — and actress Jennifer Anniston is caught in the crossfire.
The since-deleted post by Foxx, a self-proclaimed Christian, alluded to the Biblical crucifixion of Christ, and has elicited backlash for appearing to promote antisemitic myths that Jewish people were responsible for the death of Jesus.
“They killed this dude name Jesus… what do you think they’ll do to you?” the actor and singer, 55, wrote on the post along with the tags #fakefriends and #fakelove.
Before the post was removed, Aniston appeared to “like” it, sparking outcry from her fans and prompting her to release a statement condoning the “horrifically antisemitic message.”
“This really makes me sick,” she wrote on her Instagram Story late Friday. “I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by accident.”
“And more importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds — I do NOT support any form of antisemitism,” she added.
