Comedian/actor Jamie Foxx is under fire this morning after he made a few distasteful jokes about Bruce Jenner last night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. More from Gay Star News:
Taking to the stage after performances from Iggy Azalea, Jennifer Hudson and Nick Jonas, Foxx said: ‘We got some groundbreaking performances here, too, tonight.
‘We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He’s doing a his-and-her duet all by himself.
‘Look. I’m just busting your balls while I still can.’
The joke reportedly “fell flat with the audience both in the room and at home, with his remarks immediately attracting criticism on Twitter.” The worst part? Jenner’s daughter Kylie was in the audience.
Here are some of the criticisms that tweeted out of Twitter almost directly after his comments. So far, Foxx hasn’t issued an apology.
A story of a trans teen committing suicide recently went viral and Jamie Foxx is making jokes about Bruce Jenner transitioning? Do better.
