Actor Jamie Foxx, who’d recently insulted Miley Cyrus on his Sirius satellite radio show, made a public apology to the 16-year-old superstar when he visited Jay Leno last night on The Tonight Show. "I so apologize to [Miley], and this is sincere," the Oscar winner told Leno. "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."
Popeater.com has the video.
Last weekend, listeners of The Foxxhole heard Foxx, who has a teen daughter of his own, make fun of Cyrus’ physical appearance and advise her to "get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat."
"I have a radio show," Foxx continued on Leno, apparently not feeling obliged to apologize to Spears or Lohan. "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."

JAMIE FOXX NEEDS TO GET A LIFE JUST CUZ HE IS WASHED UP AND NASTY AND NOBODY WANTS HIM DOESNT MEAN HE NEEDS TO BE HATIN CUZ MILEY IS MORE OF AN ACTOR THAN HE WILL EVER BE \
SOO JAMIE SHUT THE F**K UP
I didn’t see this, but I heard it on the radio this morning. I may be wrong but it seemed like when he said “…I don’t mean any of it…” it was a wink to the audience that his apology wasn’t sincere and that it was forced.
Jamie, You’re a 41 year old man and Miley is a 16 year old girl. What she said about radiohead can be put down to an upset teenager.
You should know that! you have a teenage daughter!
You, Jamie, should NEVER have gone where you went even in joking! You are now on my “Disgusting Pig” list.
Miley (so far) has been a fantastic role model for kids all over the USA and the world. She may self destruct later in life and that would be very sad.
I am glad my daughter looks up to Miley and tries to be like her. You should hope your daughter does too.
My daughter and I talk about the things Miley has done that are not so smart but every teenager goes though that.
As for me, Apology NOT accepted and you should learn a little of what you like to preach. TOLLERANCE!
PS – I used to like to watch anything you made. From now on everything you do will be tainted by your disgusting comments.
Maybe he’s just jealous and looking for attention. He’s no longer funny.
Jamie Fox used to do something, i forget what but is usually in crappy action movies. I wonder how wash-ups still have celebrity status. (and how is he still being called for random roles in movies)
Miley is still a teenager. The other women earned their reputations.
You cant expect anything more from a scumbag nig!!!!!!!!
Washed up! Hey stupid people! He just won an Oscar! Action movies? He was in Ray! He has the number one song in the country!
Look, if you don’t like what he said, fine (I say lighten up! Miley is not that fragile!), but call it like it is. Jamie said what you all say when you aren’t on this Forum! They are both A-list celebrities. If they can’t take the heat, retire. That’s what you SHOULD be saying!
Fake *ss apology. What he did was wrong and he might regret it but it’s too late. I’m also surprised he didn’t apologize to Britney and Lindsey. What a trashy nig for real.
Lets see this moron get the same treatment as Imus. It won’t happen, blacks can do whatever they want. Its RACIST.
LOL…who cares.
Why is this even news worthy?
People need to stop being so overly sensitive.
We have real issues going on in the world and this is a main topic…WOW!

————————————-
LMAO! He has the same treatment as Imus he is on the radio! Either way who gives a fck!
Foxx has screwed himself royally, may he rot in obscurity, dumb bastard.
Glad to know that being a comedian justifies malicious and degrading comments. Too bad others like Gibson and Imus didn’t know that trick.
It just shows the true character of Jamie Foxx. He’s a plain old dirtbag.
It is really sad that people let their kids look up to these stars that you know are going to screw up. Now your daughter is looking up to a 16 year old little girl dating a 20 year old man. You want her to look up to that? You want your baby to copy that? Why not guide them into looking up to a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer. People wonder why the kids are so messed up now…it is the parenting and guidance they have. Pathetic!
why would he get treated like Imus when he is not making a racist comment …. i dont recall Jamie Foxx implying that she needs to do drugs..etc… because only white people do drugs.. and your wrong blacks dont get away with everything..
I hope Jamie Foxx is sacked and ousted from Hollywood forever. I hope that celebrities and fans alike shun him, refuse to watch his films or buy his music and run him out of tinseltown. This is one ignorant, jealous, perverted black man who has some serious issues with low self esteem and racism to name a few. His true colours are really showing now, it wasnt long before this was bound to happen, these types of talentless, egotistical feral boguns usually end up spitting the dummy before too long when things don’t go their way. And as usual, it all comes down to racist insults, usually blacks insulting whites because they know they can get away with it. Burn in hell forever Foxx for your unwarranted paedophilia remarks.
So now having no class or good judgement is disguised as “comedy”? How entertaining! As far as the (lame) comment, “…you know my heart…” People tend to speak what is in their hearts. That’s why he thinks it’s funny because it’s what he feels. Nice try but no sale. He also didn’t feel the need to retract his statements about Lohan & Spears. Wonder why the difference? Just as ugly in my book. He is working too hard at becoming a loser. And he’s getting there. Entertainment? You decide.
I guess Jamie doesnt like it when its his own daughter. Heres a quote:
Comedian/actor/Entrepreneur Jamie Foxx has become overprotective of his teenage daughter, as any concern father would after his 14-year-old is referred to as a “hottie.”
Via Wenn News:
Jamie Foxx has banned his teenage daughter from dating – after the press confused the 14-year-old girl for his latest flame.The actor/singer admits he’s become overprotective of his leggy young daughter, Corrine, because men often ogle her on the street, thinking she’s twice her age.He says, “She’s not going to date until she’s married. She’s so beautiful, she’s five (feet), seven (inches), size nine-and-a-half shoe.
“I was coming out of a restaurant with her, I guess the paparazzi didn’t know who she was, and the paper said, ‘Foxx with young hottie’.
“It just kills you because she’s so grown, but she’s only 14!”
he seems like hes jealous of miley cyrus
Jamie – you are FINISHED – I should know
I WAS a big fan of Jamie Fox, until his remarks about the 16 yr. old. Its wrong to pick on someone tht young, I hope her lawyers sue him BIG time.
The difference is that Cyrus is protected under the Disney umberella. THAT is why Spears and Lohan don’t get apologies. Least that is my guess. Tho I’m surprised Foxx bended over so fast, but all hear the rumors he likes that. Blame it on the alcohol?
What a fu**ing loser! What a paedophile! He should be arrested and charged with inciting child paedophilia. I’ve never liked Foxx but this has really just confirmed my reasons why. Talk about jealousy, just because Cyrus earns millions more than he does, all the tossers in Hollywood who hate Cyrus (mostly male try hard actors/singers) are just plain jealous because she earns more and is way more popular than they are. I mean, an adult who is personally attacking some young 16 year old girl just because she has too much gum or teeth(wtf!) is a total di**head who shouldn’t be in the business if that is how they deal with other peoples fame. Miley may have made mistakes (who doesn’t) but she never personally attacks anyone and she is a far better role model than that Foxx loser any day.
Jamie Foxx: Oscar winner for Best Actor in RAY, probable leading Oscar contender for Best Actor in THE SOLOIST, talented singer & musician in addition to serious acting and comedy skills.
Miley Cyrus: Jailbait, no-talent trainwreck in the making, subliminally infiltrating the hearts & minds of unsuspecting children (and parents!) worldwide with insidious illusion of wholesome goodness via Hannah Montana.
Billy Ray Cyrus: No-talent former mullett & satin jacket-wearing hack of a country singer, who is now living vicariously through his no-talent daughter by single-handedly engineering the aforementioned infiltration.
FINAL SCORE: Jamie Foxx 2
Miley Cyrus 0
Billy Ray Cyrus -1
Going after a teenager? Really funny, Monkey Boy. I hope Jamie’s young daughter suffers all of those things he wished on Miley. Would serve him right.
Jamie Foxx would have been lynched for talking about a white girl like that just a few years ago.
Totally agree with Zakry. Don’t attack a man’s acting talent (especially when he has more talent in one pinky than Miley Cyrus has through her multiple personalities) when he says someting less than tactful. Also, there is no need to go all up in arms against a comedian, if you don’t like the material change the channel.
Supprised he even said he was sorry, he really didn’t do anything that wrong, infact it sounds like he was crackin’ on the other girls…
.. i’m white btw…
