Apr 15 2009Jamie Foxx apologizes to Miley Cyrus
Appearing on Tuesday's The Tonight Show, Jamie Foxx apologized to Miley Cyrus for suggesting she make a sex tape and do heroin during a segment on his radio show. E! News reports:
"I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere," he began. "I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don't mean any of it. [Big laugh from the audience.] And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far.
"I have a 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 added, turning to Leno.
Then, looking at the camera, "Miley, I apologize, so I'll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand."
I've just received word that Billy Ray Cyrus has accepted Jamie Foxx's apology by returning his mullet to its default "Party!" position.

Jamie Foxx is a giant douche.
He probably just wants to bang Miley.

Miley was watching and had tears in her eyes...but that's only because she was facing the TV and had told Billy Ray she was getting sore fifteen minutes ago.

Someone probably explained to Jamie that pissing off the Mouse House in a tough economy is about as smart as pissing off Oprah. Attack Disney's franchise and they will find a way to express their unhappiness with other people in the industry.
He first thought it would mean more to his wallet by playing up to his street cred homies who just want to beat Miley up in their rented Lambos but he then realized the Mouse House was not amused, so he backed off in public and gets credit for both calling Miley out and then showing his "remorse."
Jamie, can't wait till your daughter gets chlamydia. Just a matter of time. You book her on your radio show to explain all about crotch rot.

Jamie Foxx needs to do heroin, just like all the other brothers do. He might be funnier if he did.

Big Al, just because your daughter did doesn't mean they all do.

Dr. Phil,
With your gift for wit and humor you must be still stunned that they gave the Emmy to Tina Fey. Maybe this year they will read this board and recognize your talents.

Speaking on behalf of all the bitchy whiny conservatives who get blocked by moderators at political blogs and have no option but to post here even though it makes them look weak and desperate, I'm glad that this blackamoor has been shown his place.

He should apologize for his stupid fucking music... and for the Miami Vice remake...
15. E! - April 15, 2009 2:45 PM
Miley tweeted that she was still "very offended" as she leaned back in the middle of her dad's crotch for the picture before the one where she's pretending that she's almost topless.

I can't stand the whole damn Cyrus backwoods hick family but Jamie Foxx is a douchebag for talking trash like that about a teenage girl. Is she annoying? Yes. But Miley pretty much behaves herself. Let him trash Hohan
18. Sal McSwiggins - April 15, 2009 3:15 PM
Why is he backing down like a punk? Disney must have sent him a horse's head in his bed. Miley Cyrus is one ugly fucking girl and Foxx is an absolute genius and as multi-talented as they come. Fuck Miley Cyrus, Disney and the Christian Right.

Looks like he sucks at damage control too....

I guess monkey foxx is jealous that M Cyrus could buy his black Azz and still have enough money to plant some cotton for his loser family to pick.
21. Right Fury - April 15, 2009 3:29 PM
Well Sal, tell us how you really feel.
First, Disney is run by an extremely left wing homo. So put that in your Bong and smoke it.
Second, It says volumes about you that you'd side with someone who thinks a 16yr old should make a sex tape. If you buy that "I was just joking" bullshit, then I have a stimulus bill you'd be interested in.
22. Disney is dead stupid - April 15, 2009 3:43 PM
It's Eisner so why don't they just change the name already? Eisner is not an American like Disney was. He is not concerned with morals and family values either. Just fucking money like all his kind. Pervert.
23. OOO - April 15, 2009 3:51 PM
too late. your career is dead anyway, douche.
24. Harry Doyle - April 15, 2009 4:06 PM

Amen brother!
*clap* *clap*

#22 You should come out from under the rock more often - Eisner left in 2005.

Shut the fuck up, Right Fury. Pathetic idiot.
27. bundywatch - April 15, 2009 4:55 PM
#21 Right Fury, you pathetic douchebag, Disney is a monolith and no matter who's in charge it won't be pushing anything but their mainstream brand. Run! A tidal wave of wholesomeness from an extreme left wing homo is perverting America!
28. MS T - April 15, 2009 5:05 PM
JAMIE FOXX FORGETS WHO HAS MADE HIM AS BIG AS HE IS. THEY CAN ALSO BREAK HIM. THIS WAS ONLY A JOKE COMMIT, IS JUST THAT A JOKE. WAIT TIL SOMEONE MAKES THAT STATEMENT ABOUT HIS KID. THERE IS MORE RACEISM IN COLOR THAN IN WHITE. PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR COLOR, IT IS YOUR YOU OWE ME ATTITUDE THAT IS UPSETTING. I NEVER WOULD TAKE WHAT A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SAYS TO HEART. THEY ARE JUST KIDS. AT LEAST SHE IS A WORKING KID, MAKING HER OWN MONEY AND PAYING HER WAY.
29. justifiable - April 15, 2009 5:21 PM
#28 When Jamie Foxx's kid makes a snotass remark dissing Radiohead she'll deserve what she gets as well - Miley Cyrus is an obnoxious 16 year old spoiled brat who thinks she can swim in the adult pool and still have immunity when it comes to everything she says and does.
Now take your meds and lay off the caps lock - they won't let you into the Hannah Montana movie if you're drooling and twitching.
30. ELmo - April 15, 2009 5:32 PM
I still can't believe he won that Oscar
that has nothing to do with this story but it still pisses me off....
31. K.T - April 15, 2009 6:27 PM
OH COME OFF IT, U ALL KNOW SHES HEADING DOWN THE SAME PATH AS BRITNEY AND LINDSAY!!!! Depression, drugs, bisexuality, promiscuity, shaving heads, anorexia.... for fuck sake, it's as obvious as all fuck that's where she's headed!! She's a gummy, ugly, redneck hick and she's foul.....she has no fucking talent WHATSOEVER except for the fact she knows how to sell SHIT to 10yr olds!! SHE CANT ACT. SHE CANT SING. SHE IS A WHINEY FUCKFACE. You could sell a fucking dead bird with a pink ribbon around its neck to a 10yr old girl these days if you tell her EVERYONE else has one!!!! SO GET FUCKED MILEY LOVERS. Jamie Foxx means every BAD word he said to Miley, he hates her guts, but has to do this, 'I'm sorry' shit because people have a cry about it. I fucking love the nasty shit he said!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
32. justifiable is gay - April 15, 2009 6:47 PM
Yah yah same difference ass clown. It aint the old Disney it's now owned and operated by the Woody Allens.
33. bosendorfer - April 15, 2009 6:55 PM
wow, jamie foxx is controlled just like every other celebrity by a handful of agents and studio executives who threaten him with anonymity when he actually tells the truth about a spoiled brat (money-making) little white girl with a "famous" father. thanks for being predictably "original", foxx.
34. mikeock - April 15, 2009 7:01 PM
Jamie Foxx is still an asshole. Look, Miley Cyrus is a minor. A kid. Foxx is an adult, so to make a public statement about her was classless. If Billy Ray Cyrus was more of a man and less of a flat-ironed fag, he'd call Foxx out. If Foxx made a comment like that about my daughter, he'd be carrying his teeth home in a bag.
35. Mike Hawk - April 15, 2009 8:02 PM
amen Mike
36. BlackRook - April 15, 2009 9:26 PM
I really couldn't care less about Miley Cyrus. However, i care even less about anything Jimie Fox has to say.
37. crikey - April 15, 2009 10:08 PM
I think that what he said is hilarious- it's just like the comments on this site, for fuck's sake. Everybody needs to realize that HE IS A COMEDIAN, and he rips people new ones on his show. Just like every other radio show. She's a big girl- she's Billy Ray's kid, she's in show business AND she's dating a 20 year old MAN, for chrissakes.
38. tired of celebrity BS - April 15, 2009 10:17 PM
So...Jamie Foxx is a pedaphile that advocates child pornography and encourages teenage drug abuse. No wonder he hasn't done anything since Ray. Funny that his new movie is about a black musician with disabilities, that sounds kind of familiar.
He should go on tour with Billy Bob Thornton. That way I can save time by not giving a shit about them together instead of separately.
39. justifiable - April 15, 2009 10:54 PM
#32 "Same difference"? Wow, what a devastating comeback, #22. And calling me gay? Wow, I'm crushed at such a deathless riposte.
Unfortunately, it doesn't take away from the fact that you're a moron who posted under "Disney is dead stupid" and then ragged on someone who left the company 4 years ago. It was, oh, what's the phrase? Oh, yeah, DEAD STUPID.
It's always amusing when people like you who know just what a good American is, and wave the morals and family values flag, also couple that with anti-semitism and bigotry. If those are your family's values, then please carry on with the inbreeding until you all die out. Completely.
40. n - April 16, 2009 12:46 AM
Their celebrity status has nothing to do with that. Regardless if u like Miley or not, here's a 41 yrs old man attacking a 16yrs old kid. If it was your daugther, how would you react? This man has a teen daugther & I'm sure he would not find it funny if some 41 yrs dude would say that she need to do a sex tape & take drug. No one would accept that from a non-celebrity. Why should it be ok in this case?
It's funny to read people saying that they hate Miley, however they know pretty much alot of stuff about her life, even when some stories are not true. And I'm sure the're not even teens.
41. Patty - April 16, 2009 5:43 AM
Jamie Foxx made it big, not because he had any talent, but because he went on the Oprah show, and that did it for a while. But, I would say he is the one doing heroin, and misery loves company
42. That Guy - April 16, 2009 6:34 AM
@31 you need to seek help! so much anger from one little person. your mother must be proud of you!
43. Oh Well - April 16, 2009 8:04 AM
Squashed by a buck toothed 16 year old.
Jamie Foxx is officially a candy ass now.
All those "tough brother from the streets" skits just hit the bricks, for good.
Call him Louie Anderson now. Who?
44. Max - April 16, 2009 8:28 AM
#31 - You said it! I do believe he meant every word of it, and yes Miley is heading down the same paths and lilo and britney. She's not that pretty first of all to be acting the way that she does, he father LETS her date a 20 year old MAN (father of the year right there), and after Hannah Montana is done, what do you think she's going to do? Jamie apologized to save face, but he truly meant what he said. An ugly, spoiled girl who thinks she is entitled to whatever she wants because she's her. Kinda reminds me of the herpes aka paris hilton. When the Disney train goes dry, this girl will be looking at other ways to make money and I guarantee they won't be as glamorous. Would you honestly cast a gummy, crossed eyed frog in anything other than a movie for kids? Hollywood is brutal and this girl just doesn't have "it".

#45 Everytime I see her she's got her stupid fucking tongue stuck out . Jenny McCarthy did it way better but she knew when to quit. If I see that stupid bitch's tonsils one more time I'm sending flowers to Jamie Foxx.
47. John - April 16, 2009 11:51 AM
What does this tell us? It's okay for the Foxx to go on his show, and as he calls it "black Howard Stern" and bash white minors tellin them to make a sex tape and do heroin..well first of all, Cyrus is not even 18. Fuckin pedo. Second, he goes on Jay Leno, probably one of the whitest shows ever, so he can apologize to the white community. We all know its bullshit. It's just as much bullshit as when Kramer said (although he didn't have the balls to do it in person) "I'm not a racist that's what's so insane about all this."
Foxx is racist. Kramer is too.
Pretty sure I can't remember one thing Foxx was in besides that shitty Vice remake, and he's a comedian? Who knew?
Another thing, all you people saying Cyrus is going the same path as her predecessors, consider blaming Disney for selling sex to kids under the pretense of purity. I'm sure Lohan wouldn't have gone on a huge fuckin bender if the media didn't invade the shit out of her privacy. Public figure or not, the kind of coverage these people get is ridiculous, especially considering the content of news stories such as "Cyrus wearing sports bra OMGWTFBBQ!!!1one!" The girl's not even of age, stop treating her like a sex symbol...or lower the age of "minor"
48. KANE - April 16, 2009 3:50 PM
Jamie was wrong for commenting about a 16 y/o and he has a daughter, but when shows are inverviewing her (Miley) they ask her 16 y/o ass about her GROWN 20 y/o boyfriend. LIKE THAT"S NOT A SHAME. If she is such a child and innocent she should not be dating a 20 y/o man, and someone needs to be held responsible for that (e.g. Parents). But I STILL LOVE JAMIE/ERIC!
49. Lorraine - April 21, 2009 4:58 PM
I completely agree with the notion that jokes are jokes. I like a good laugh just as much as anyone else. I believe that this day and age people are too worried about being politically correct or not. The bottom line is tha he should not have apoligized; he didn't mean it and anyone watching knew that. He wasn't fooling anyone. Just trying to save himself from loosing any money he may have gained from "white people". He should just call Lauren Hill, she'll tell him how to survive on money grossed from an exclusive community and that's the way she likes it. The point is: would this slander be accepted by anyone if it was a white comedian who decided to make the same comments about a 16 year old black entertainer who is dating a 20 year old. A bit hipocritical wouldn't you say. The thing that gets me is .... all of the outrage that would be expressed, the media coverage and the marches that would be formed in order to "create awareness" for discrimination once again showing it ugly head. When the comment isn't about white, black, or other; but is about ignorance. And that my friends come in all colors.
50. Ericabug - April 21, 2009 11:58 PM
hmm..no matter my opinion on Miley. i think it was wrong for Foxx to make those comments to begin with. even if he doesn't like her, he's an adult putting down a child. Real mature Foxx.
Of course he issued a public apology, his manager probably jumped all over him the next day after the comments were everywhere.
51. Mark Lerkle - April 23, 2009 5:09 PM
Jamie Foxx is a racist a-hole. It's funny how, when white people say something stupid or inapropriate, they lose their jobs, and minorities start demanding apologies and demanding heads, and telling people what they have a right to think and what they have a right to say. I always liked JF before this, but I always sensed that he didn't care for us whites very much, and was really just the bigot that he liked to say everyone else was. Here goes your proof. I'll never watch a move he's in, or a tv show he's on, or buy a product he endorses. Actually, he has every right to be a crude, racist asshole who attacks children for the sake of being funny. Unlike a lot of people in this country, I believe people are entitled to their opinion, and also entitled to voice it. I, in turn, am not entitled to shoot at him, or defame him unfairly, or fire bomb his fucking house. I am entitled to not have anything to do with him, or people like him. Ya'll aren't the only ones who have rights, ya know? If a white comedian had attacked a young black celebrity like that can you imagine? Jesse and Al would be screaming racism while trying to figure out how to line their own pockets, and the congressional black caucus (a racist organization in itself) would be demanding hearings. Hell, the prez might even get in on the act.
I'm not the oracle of knowledge on race relations, but I know racists and hypocrits when I see/hear them.
