Jamie Foxx Issues Apology To Miley Cyrus
April 15th, 2009
It seems that Jamie Foxx couldn’t escape the backlash from comments he made about Miley Cyrus over the weekend, with the actor formally apologizing to the Disney star during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday night (April 14).
“Did you say something inappropriate?” the host asked Foxx.
“Yeah. I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere,” he responded. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far.”
Foxx’s rant sparked outrage after he said that 16-year-old Cyrus should “make a sex tape and grow up,” during a chat on his satellite radio show.
“We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart,” he continues.
Staring down the barrel of the camera, Foxx addresses Cyrus saying, “Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

Al Sharpton should be out trying to have him disgraced just like he did Don Imus.OH !But I forgot,its o.k. to have a double standard when it comes to blacks using derogatory remarks towards whites.

Who’s Jamie Fox?
It doesn’t matter. Any grown up black who makes comments encouraging underage females to make pornography needs to be investigated. If Fox is on any broadcast program then complaints need to be filed with the FCC. Last thing America needs is another hoodrat trying to get kids to break the law.

Sexykk—-Same old thing from people like you,one more uneducated moron,can’t spell,can’t talk with out using profanity,and you seem to be having you’re own pity party.And you’re completely wrong,I would support any one who is being belittled,no matter who.

SexyKK, Nothing superior about white people. The fact that you type the way you speak, speaks volumes. Keep it real brother! It doesn’t matter about race here it’s about people running their mouths. There are certain things that a better off unsaid. There are words that shouldn’t be said by both black and white people. That doesn’t stop anyone from thinking or saying them. Can we censor comedy? I don’t think so. Freedom of speech should be used with caution. Really though, who feels sorry for a rich little brat like her anyway? She’s already a youtube addict. I feel bad that I even took the time to watch it.

Funny, Fastfred, Don Imus got his show back so did Dog the bounty hunter. But Isaiah Washington hasn’t woked since. So there is a double standard when it comes to whites making derogatory remarks to blacks. Paris Hilton calling black men n-words on video hasn’t affected her life one iota.. Screw Miley Cyrus, she’s a little skank.

Jackjnsn, please if your comments are correct then explian Howard Stern’s long and lengthy career. All he does is make inappropriate comments about ANYONE. Of course hypocrisy is alive and well in America and its usually some white folks behind it.

Forget the fact that you don’t like Miley Cyrus, Jamie, who’s a father of a teenage girl himself shouldn’t be talking about Miley like that PERIOD. All you idiots who say Miley deserves it are no better than Jamie. So what she said she wanted to ruin Radiohead? She may have been joking, and even if she meant it, she’s 16, what 16-year-old hasn’t said something stupid? Jami’s a grown-up, he should know better. He only has himself to blame for all the well-deserved backlash he’s getting.

I think Jamie Foxx’s mother was and is a crack whore and before long his daughter Corinne will be doing hardcore sex films. Maybe she should change her name to: “Corinne Stickitin” or something else catchy, speaking of catchy,..maybe she’ll acquire an uncurable STD!! Hey how’s that for funny?? Now maybe I can get a radio show and go on Leno, then I’ll pretend to apologize for my aforementioned comments. Now I’m officially a comedian,…anybody laughing?? By the way,..I was just kidding,..sometimes I go a bit too far and for that I am sorry,….really.
