Jamie Foxx apologises and deletes Instagram post [View all]

Foxx, 55, has deleted the post, which read: "They killed this dude name Jesus... what do you think they'll do to you???! #fakefriends #fakelove".

Some social media users said Foxx's post echoed an antisemitic belief that Jewish people were collectively responsible for Jesus Christ's death.

The Roman Catholic Church officially repudiated the idea in 1965.

On Saturday, Foxx addressed the criticism in a new Instagram post which said: "I want to apologise 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.

I honestly do not think Foxx is an anti-semite but this shows how easy it is for anyone to say something stupid when we are not really thinking.
