Jamie Foxx Under Fire for Transphobic Bruce Jenner Jokes


Jamie Foxx facing backlash for joking about Bruce Jenner's sex change in front of Kylie Jenner at the iHeart Radio Music Awards.

Jamie Foxx is under fire after making a joke about Bruce Jenner's gender transition during his monologue at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday, March 29. The 47-year-old actor made fun of Bruce's transition to a woman after taking a jab at Suge Knight.
Jamie told the audience at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium, "We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight. We got Bruce Jenner, will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his and her duet all by himself. Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can."
Some Twitter users accused the "Django Unchained" actor of transphobia for his joke on Bruce. Perez Hilton wrote, "Boo! Shame on you #iHeartAwards for allowing @iamjamiefoxx to be transphobic on national television! Those #BruceJenner jokes were wrong!!!" Luigi Mondi posted, "@iamjamiefoxx making transphobic jokes at Bruce Jenner's expense while Kylie is in the audience? Grow up & educate yourself. #iHeartAwards."
Angela tweeted, "Seriously #JamieFoxx? #BruceJenner jokes? You're disgusting, that's not ok. It wasn't funny, just mean spirited and lazy. #SupportLGBT." CHAD posted, "Jamie Foxx making jokes about Bruce Jenner being transgendered was absolutely rude. NOT. FUNNY. AT. ALL," while Loki's Banphrionsa wrote, "Jamie Foxx's transphobic jokes at the iHeartRadio about Bruce Jenner were gross, glad they didn't garner much laughs."
Jamie hasn't commented on the issue yet.

It's a joke. If you are a part of a group, you will have jokes made about you. He didn't say transgender people were bad or that don't have any kind of rights, so it was a harmless joke. Black people do this and white people do that jokes are consistently made at these award shows. So welcome to the stage trains!

Jamie Foxx better remember what happened to Tracy Morgan when he told a bunch of jokes about the homos. The gays do not play. There is a such thing as a gay mafia. If you cross them, your Hollywood career and your life may be permanently erased!

WTF???!!!!! said...

This world has gone straight to hell. If you don't accept what's wrong as right, then they label you like you have a problem. It's to the point now, they want you to normalize this behavior and teach your kids to do the same. If you don't, you're ostracized and made an example out of. And the gays want respect, but don't respect others opinion that don't agree with their lifestyle.

Jamie Foxx shouldn't talk. He loves to play naked basketball with his DL friends. Howard Stern already exposed his DL ass!
