Jennifer Aniston has suddenly turned off her Instagram comments after she helped manufacture a scandal surrounding Jamie Foxxβs βcontroversialβ post on the app. Last week, Foxx posted the personal message that stated: βThey killed this dude called Jesus...what do you think theyβll do to you???!β

He followed the post with the hashtags #fakefriends and #fakelove. Though it was clearβwell at least to Black folksβthat Foxx used the word βtheyβ to call out people who betrayed Jesus, some deemed Foxxβs post as antisemitic. Aniston amplified this sentiment when she inserted herself into the conversation after it was reported that she βlikedβ Foxxβs post.
Before turning off comments, Aniston wrote in her Instagram story: βThis really makes me sick. I did not βlikeβ 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 β I do NOT support any form of antisemitism. And I truly donβt tolerate HATE of any kind. Period.β
This propelled Foxx to issue an unnecessary apologyβwhich was a screenshot from the notes appβthat said: βI want to apologize to the Jewish community and to everyone who was offended by my post. I now know my words of choice have caused offense and Iβm sorry.
βThat was never my intent...To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and thatβs what I meant with βtheyβ 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. Nothing but love always.β
Celebrities like Winnie Harlow supported Foxx by saying ββIβm so confused .. itβs so clear what you were saying.β Jay Pharaoh also stood behind the esteemed actor when he tweeted: βWhen you have to apologize for the truth, your voice is the minority.β
Aniston facing scrutiny for misinterpreting Foxxβs message is exactly what happens when you decide to mind someone elseβs business. Hopefully, she learns a valuable lesson.
