Jamie Foxx To Miley Cyrus: I’m Sorry!

Jamie Foxx To Miley Cyrus: I’m Sorry!

Yesterday on The Late Show With David Letterman, Jamie Foxx apologized to teen sensation Miley Cyrus for the many inappropriate things he said about her on his Sirius radio show on Sunday.

“I so apologize … and this is sincere,” Jamie said. “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. 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. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”"

On Jamie’s radio show, Foxxhole, he told Miley to catch a sexually transmitted disease and to “get a gum transplant … make a sex tape … do some heroin.” (And those were the nicer things he had to say.)

if you think mileys sarcasm about ruining radiohead was being serious, why cant people say the same about jamies attack on the 16 year old? not just jamie, but the whole foxxhole group. one of the people on there called miley a “little white b!tch”. everyone here knows for a f*ckin fact if billy ray called jamies teenage daughter a “little black b!tch” billy ray would be called racist and this whole thing would be huge. its good to know that jamie presented miley during the kids inaugural ball to celebrate the big step in history of having an african american as our president and is able to get away with sh!t like this. good to know.

if you listen to mileys interview about the radiohead thing you can clearly tell she was joking, but people decide to believe she as a 16 year old, is capable of ruining radiohead. radiohead wont go down like that lol, radiohead is like one of the greatest bands out there and has been here for years. her comment was taken out of context and people hate miley for it. jamie says his comment was taken out of context and people are backing him up. its disgusting that jamie used the “im a comedian” excuse. we all know he meant it, so he shouldnt have apologized if it was really just a comedic act. howard stern would have never apologized. its either you meant it or you didnt.

rii so so right! What is wrong with you people come on I heard her on the radio about the whole Radiohead she was joking about ruining their career. Plus she is 16th what where you people says wrong at 16? E was wrong in so many levels. SICK

First of all he didnt call her a little white bit*h, and he told her what to do he never called her racist names , so dont start that damn ****! As many of you white people who have called us name s the n word and so on gtfoh.. TEAM FOXX ALL THE WAY!!

It was Leno not Letterman

Emilio ray @ 04/15/2009 at 7:44 pm

Too right he apologised. It’s disgusting a 41 year old man saying things like that about a 16 year old girl. I hope Mr Foxx will think next time before he makes a joke.

Its good he should some humility and apologized but he is a comedian and he was only joking

Why is this fool still around? He got his Oscar for being black, go away!!! Yeah, and real men pick on 16 year old girls. *rolls eyes.*

@cutie pie
did you not read my post fully? i c you must be one of the people who take everything out of context right? i said one of the people in the foxxhole called her a little white b!tch. thats why i think the comedic act excuse is bullsh!t and that everyone from the foxxhole should apologize and take responsibility. i dont get why jamie is the only one who is getting the heat, everyone at the foxxhole should.
and im not even white and have never used the N word. im vietnamese and people call me ch!nk all the time (ch!nk is actually the derogatory term for chinese people so i laugh even more at their ignorance) and make stereotypes like of course i would have glasses and im intelligent. its people like you who keep up the double standards of racism. you are black, ok who cares. doesnt mean a black person cant be racist. doesnt mean all white people are racist. you yourself are racist and disgusting.

HE said she should get a gum transplant? Has he looked in the mirror at his own big horse mouthed fugly face?

hahaha! im just glad jamie fox chipped some of that ego off of Miley. And the gum transplant thing had me crackin up. SOmebody had to say it. Them gums are HUUUUGE!

Props to jamie foxx. that was so freaken funnnnny!! she deserves it, thinking she’s a lil miss pop princess. btw your only 16, stop trying to act like your in love. it’s hard to actually say that this justin guy is actually taking her serious. her fame and money has to be a apart of it somewhere… but w.e

i kinda thought it was a wrong thing for him 2 say, he kinda went 2 far
but ive lost even more respect for him for pussying it out

This man is not worth a single drop of my time nor is his movies or songs worth a single cent from me. I have higher morals than waste my time with jamie fox, the low case explains how I feel about this man. No wonder I have never liked him from the very beginning, now it’s plain and clear why. Actually, jamie fox is a sorry excuse for a man, he is way below, I would rather pay to see Will smith’s movies.

yes she is very annoying, I do’t like her, but I think is wrong to him say all this nasty things about a 16 years old girl. I don’t loke him either

yes she is very annoying, I do’t like her, but I think is wrong to him say all this nasty things about a 16 years old girl. I don’t loke him either

yes she is very annoying, I do’t like her, but I think is wrong to him say all this nasty things about a 16 years old girl. I don’t loke him either

He was a jerk at the Country Music Awards also. Bring back Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at the CMA. I will never go see another movie Fox is in EVER!!!!

I LOST ALL MY RESPECT FOR THIS MAN. WHO IN THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS MAKING RUDE REMARKS ABOUT AN INNOCENT 16 YEAR OLD GIRL THAT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HIM? I MEAN SERIOUSLY HOW IMMATURE CAN YOU BE? AND IF I WERE HIM I WOULDN’T BE MAKING FUN OF ANYBODY, WHEN HE’S LOOKING LIKE AN APE WITH A RECEDING HAIRLINE. TEAM MILEY. FOXX MAY BE TALENTED, BUT HE’S A JACKASS AND HIS PERSONALITY WON’T BE GETTING HIM FAR. GOOD LUCK WINNING ANOTHER OSCAR WITH THAT ATTITUDE YOU DISGUSTING PIG. GO PLAY YOUR VIOLIN, YOU CRACKERJACK.

I found his comment to be out of place, she is just a girl as a grown man you should not mess with a girl. His comments were very huirtful, and malisoious.

For all you saying this 16 year old deserved it:

Would you like it if a 40 year old man was making fun of your teenage daughter’s looks on air? I don’t think so. Miley never dissed Radiohead nor did she make fun of their looks. So how is this getting what she deserves? Also, she’s never said she’s better than anyone else. Quit making crap up in your miniature brains.

Jamie Foxx is a jerk! He is an adult and thought it was ok to say those things to a child?!? She is only 16 years old! That is awful and he should be very ashamed. Disgusting! I hope his remarks follow him and he will have to live with the things he said. He let his personality come out and hope he now is seen for the person he is. I hope that the press does not let him get away with this.

He has the neerve to joke about Miley’s gums when he is one of the ugliest people I’ve ever seen. Please. Look in the mirror before you comment on anybody’s appearance.

jimmey fox need to leave miley along or he gonne has to deal with me 1 so nigro **** back off

[~☆Fug Face Man!ston☆~] @ 04/15/2009 at 9:56 pm

miley’s the biggest mediawhore under 24. she makes sure her every move is in the public eye. she uses the paps as much as any other celebrity, and her father uses her even more. her entire family is fair game.

OMG! he’s jealous of a little girl and the only way to make himself feel better is to put her down. I haven’t like Foxx for quite sometime, this just makes it more clear. I think he is very full of him self. He even had a special in honor of him self, how conceded is that! And despite what anyone thinks of Miley, she is only a 16 year old girl and he’s a grown ass man. There are lines that even comedians should know better than to cross. It just proves what I’ve known all along, he has no class. I’m not white, nor am I black, race is not an issue with me, but I do respect Miley and the fact that she could be on the same road as that Spears chick who got knocked up as a teen, or the other teen queens, drinkin and doin dumb ass stuff. Any controversy people scrape up on Miley are people trying to make a buck and not even bad stuff.
It was very tasteless and immature for Foxx to pick on her, but kinda sad too because the only reason he was being so caddy is because she’s way more famous and has more fans. I’d pay to see her in concert, you couldn’t pay me to see him.

He should apologize. What he said was appalling and to condone the type of rude crass talk by the people on his show was uncalled for.

i thought that what he said was hilarious… :)

Aussie Girl @ 04/15/2009 at 10:28 pm

Jamie Foxx is a jerk and worst is that he has a teenage daughter.
I agree with others, if BR Cyrus said anything about Foxx’s kids there would be an uproar about racism. J.Foxx-cheap publicity stunt!!!

He did need to apologize. Miley is still a child; he’s an adult and should have taken more care in speaking about her.. He wouldn’t want someone talking about HIS child like that. Although he tried to play it off as a joke, it was not only not funny it was mean and rude.

Shame on him.

oh come on people
she’s not innocent.
she took those pictures, she has an overage boyfriend
and the single mosst annoying person on this planet
i was sooo happy when i heard this
somebody puts her in her place
down their with all the disney losers
why is she different from any other disney actor??
why is she everywhere on this earth

she’s everywhere and she thnks she’s the most talented person in hollywood
she puts down a band that is 10000000000x times better than her. and
he is not jelous maybe it was comedy?????
why would and oscar winner be jelous of a disney ***** who wont even see an oscar in her life????
she’s a ***** and you all know it
team foxx
good for you fox
you shouldnt have apologized
and she is not more famous than him
casue she is a fad
she’ll go away after a ehile
cause everyones getting pretty dmn mad at her

Well I think this whole situation will make him think twice in the future about what degrading commentry he thinks is funny. He should quit trynna be like howard stern..

Fail.

miley’s still a child ?

why, how would anyone know with the way she dresses and the man she is with?

For sure, she is an annoying child that is trying to grow up too fast and has parents that are idiots

i think miley didnt even mean to say that she wants to ruin radiohead..not that shes gonna. buh if you heard the interview..the guys on the radio kinda pressured her into saying what band didnt want to meet her..and shes young…so i guess she thought what harm can it be..
i understand jamie foxx is tryin to be funny and all..buh shes a child..not even an adult yet..shes even about his daughter’s age. you cant go sayin that kinda stuff… there is a line you gotta draw. especially when it comes to kids.

miley deserved it. she was so acting lk a diva. she’s not even THAT talented.

Foxx is and will always be a dic@, and his daughter is the same age as Miley , wonder if he would like white radio show personalities calling her a ‘ little black bitc@” and making fun of her looks when she accompanies him to all those award shows and red carpets, I wonder if he would just say ‘ O well” their just making jokes. And does this guy look in the mirror, he’s one weird looking dud, so if I were him I wouldn’t want to get into a looking contest with a dog besides someone as pretty as Miley.

Shame on Jamie Foxx for the comments he made about Miley Cyrus. I was looking forward to his new movie but I am going to pass on seeing it and hope others will too.

I’m surprised by people actually condoning his behaviour … what kind of people would actually think these comments are funny or justifiable????

It was in Jay Leno show…………

He was bad….. and very stupid!!!!

I’m most likely the last one here, but let me say this - An apology at this point from Jamie Fox (or anyone else insulting others prior to this or in future) is, in my opinion, redundant. Why say these things in the first place? And doesn’t he have a daughter close to Miley’s age?
-
He should be ashamed of himself as a human being AND A father. Learn to live this mantra: “If you can’t say something nice about someone… Don’t say anything at all.”
-
This world might be a better place if we could all live by this one simple saying. It really is a sad thing that more and more bigots (including posters on blogs) are crawling out of the woodwork and showing their ignorance and intolerance. Maybe those who appear anti-children (call kids “ugly”, “brats”, etc.) have it right… No more kids should be born - Let the human race dies out in a couple of generations, and the world we’re destroying can be left to animals and plant life. At least they won’t contaminate this world like we have.
-
Something to think about, huh?
-
I’m out of here.

OH PLEASE!!! Just like the media to blow things out of proportion! It was a JOKE!! He’s a COMEDIAN! It’s what they do and I’m 100% sure what Jamie said is not the worse thing that’s been said about Miley Cyrus…the girl is obviously a GOOD role model…that’s why it was funny in the first place. Seriously people…GET A SENSE OF HUMOR!

his new movie with Rober Downey Jr looks hilarious. ..but it’s not a comedy. It’s supposed to be a drama. It was pure luck that he was cast as Ray Charles.

cedric smith @ 04/16/2009 at 5:36 am

Let’s call a spade a spade. Mr. Fox is a Black racist just as most of his race are. White’s recognize the harm that such racism does but blacks do not. Mr. Fox was playing to his black racist audience when he made his ignorant, repulsive remarks. I doubt that he himself is a racist but he knows his audience and was playing to their bigotry. So long as blacks refuse to recognize and reciprocate the honesty and empathy of whites so long will they remain Niggers. Whites have repented their past errors and done everything possible to redress those horrors. Blacks clearly want revenge and so they proffer belligerence and false pride. They are their own worst enemies. Eventually their biting the hand which feeds them will eliminate them from the landscape, the innocent and the guilty. Folks like Mr. Fox represent leaders of the black race. It is their duty to guide the rabble among their ranksrather than to pander to them. So long as fools like Fox infest the ranks of celebrityhood so long will racism prevail. Common sense and true equality is required. As many have said on these forums where is Jesse Jackson and the rest of the recalcitrant blacks when a black man steps over the racist line? I feel sorry for Mr. Fox just as I felt sorry for Mr. Don Imus but the former must lose everything just as Mr. Imus did before he can be forgiven. And thereafter he had better learn to LEAD his black audience rather than to follow its most ignorant members.

unfortunately he is not the only one lame comedian who is huuuge in usa….shame

wow i can’t believe some of you people think that a girl actually deserved that. unbelievable. i’ve officially lost faith in humanity.
and seriously, jamie foxx? you’re using that “i’m just a comedian” excuse? ugh, i can’t even say anything.

Everytime someone insult her I go YEY!!!!!

And then they break my heart going “ooohhh I’m so sorry…I didn’t mean that….I was tired and stoned and didn’t know what I was saying”

Everyone except radiohead…what I don’t understand is how could she liked them….I mean radiohead makes music she makes PLASTIC!!! (actually people make plastic for her)

# 53: “i’ve officially lost faith in humanity”

so do I, when I realized how many people buy her stuff!!!!!!!! and even listen to it!!!!

sam @ 04/16/2009 at 9:14 am # 53: “i’ve officially lost faith in humanity”

so do I, when I realized how many people buy her stuff!!!!!!!! and even listen to it!!!!

I don´t like miley but I think is not right what Mr Foxx said about a teenager, is just not right, u can like her or not but is stupid to say that what Mr Foxx did was ok and funny, I have lost faith in humanity too

boyrock oboyma @ 04/16/2009 at 10:05 am

Mr foxx don’t worry about it.

It appears,in my opinion,ms cyrus and her supporters have forgotten the offensive photos that circulated,offending the asian community

@Sarah–since when does the Academy give people Oscars for being black?? If that’s the case, waaaaay more black actors should have oscars…
Anyway, I think Jamie did go a little too far w/ the insults……but that gum transplant joke was kinda funny..

Jamie Foxx and and all the Miley Haters on your page should be ashamed of themselves for picking on a 16 year old girl who is just trying to grow up in the spotlight ..most of these losers are only jealous.

Jamie,
Come on now! She’s only 16 & you have a daughter too.
Who is he to question her youth & innocence?
Visit YouTube to see “Jamie Foxx disses Miley Cyrus - Innocence Falls Away?” where it delicately addresses this issue…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dq8xs_bppM&feature=channel_page

Jamie - Don’t hope Miley Cyrus’ Innocence Falls Away - visit YouTube to see vid that delicately deals with this her dilemma.

You guys are ******* ********! What kind of person would think that a 16 year old should be told to ‘do heroin’ & ‘make a sex tape’? Seeriously, guys? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO? At first, I was team Miley, because honestly what grown man would sya that? But he apologized & he should have. So don’t say some gayass **** about how she deserved it! Okay?! God, you people disgust me. Really. Grow the **** up & stop acting immature. I still cannot get over the fact that you guys would wish words like that upon a 16 YEAR OLD GIRL. God. >_> And don’t start racist **** either. This has nothing to do with race so don’t even ******* say that we’re being racist! Because we aren’t okay? If you ask me, you’re the racist ones, you keep bringing up **** that happened a century ago, the whole slavery crap. Yeah it was bad but it’s OVER NOW. And some people are racist & yeah they’re stupid. But don’t call any of us racist. Damn. >_>

cedric smith @ 04/16/2009 at 5:36 am

Thank you! Finally, someone has the balls to say something.

boyrock oboyma @ 04/16/2009 at 2:15 pm

Any person that agrees with cedric smith(51)who speaks more on race than the actual topic needs to join the kkk.And has a distorted
superiority complex.The fact is miley cyrus is young,nontheless she has demonstrated racial insensitivity toward the asian community.Mr foxx gave an apology,the standard hollywood reply.

No statement made here has proven factual.

Anybody who defends Foxx’ statements and says they’re OK. If those statements were said to them I’m sure they would be enraged. Hypocrites.

Heatherlynn @ 04/16/2009 at 6:56 pm

I don’t believe him…

haha i dont like miley so i dunno, hes a comedian so i cant blame him lols celebrities always make fun of each other ! but i fhe really did mean then rofl ! like c’mon yous were all thinkin what he said, although i think he lost a lot of peoples respect for the fact that he didnt stick by his words ! he apologised the next day !

miley is a dumb, annoying attention *****. but she’s a kid, and a grown man putting a kid down like that on the radio is disgusting and shows poor taste. and telling someone to catch a sexually transmitted disease isn’t funny. he’s a loser.

4everniley @ 04/17/2009 at 7:57 am

very good jamie foxx you should apologize for what you said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow i cant believe he said all of that ! what an idiot ……To think he has a daughter to! I am no longer a fox fan . Anyone who can stoop to that level is not worthy of all of his fame . I know he says it was a joke thats just his way of trying to save himself from all of the back lash he is getting . I hope he doesnt live this down for a very long time!!! OOOO AND HEY I WONDER IF HE HAS EVER LOOKED IN THE MIRROR HIMSELF …SILLY MAN YOUR NOT SO HOT YOURSELF!

The double standard regarding racism is getting so damn old. Black people can say whatever the hell they want to, no matter how ignorant, without any consequences. Have we paid you guys back for the past yet or is this payback. When is it gonna be enough. We give you guys welfare, foodstamps and a housing allowance. White people have walked on egg shells for years. I think the blacks (Jamie Foxx) need to try it for a while.

what did he say about her?

It really was unfortunate that the comments made Jamie … I confess that it took to believe it was malicious insult … he would like his daughter? He would find funny?
Respect for people, regardless if you like it or not.
Miley Brazil loves you!

@kris: oh my gosh that was exactly what I was thinking! I agree with everything u said!

@cutie pie:

You are right, he didnt call her that but his co-host (the women) did. Tell me, if Don Imus said something like little Black B***, I bet the reverend would be out in force and he would he get fired……oh wait a second?

Lived2long @ 04/19/2009 at 8:07 pm

I REALLY have lived too long! The New York City and Hollywood celebrity influence is seducing the American audience into moral bankruptcy. Howard Stern is NOT FUNNY! He is crass and obnoxious and “holds” an audience through sensationalism… about as intelligent and creative as a planned trainwreck! By his ludicrous comments toward a young female (16-year-old or not, famous or not, talented or not, bratty or not, white or not), Jamie Foxx has placed himself in the company of very LOW LIFE. I can’t believe someone at his age as talented as he is would sacrifice previous fans like myself to make such a stupid, moronic, malicious, racist comment to get a laugh!!! His apology was self-serving and he is not the class act I presumed him to be. I doubt that he’ll notice my absence, but he has lost a fan.

Guess we can call his daughter a Supid Black B—-. I’m sure he will laugh at that.

wow…calling miley cyrus “that white *****” makes me feel really good about myself Jamie Foxx. is that title applicable to all white teenage girls or just really obnoxious ones? i may not like her, but i really don’t think that kind of language is appropriate for radiowaves or in general

JF spoke his mind but then says he was joking.
These are unacceptable words anyway, even if he ‘jokes’
Jamie Foxx = disgusting looser, he should quit and his new movie should be removed from distribution.
He is just jealous that Miley is booming, while his black supremacist movies are down the toilet. I never watch his movies anyways. Miley is adorable, Fox = lost soul

TO BE HONEST,I HAVE NEVER LIKED JAMIE FOX CUZ HIS JOKES ARE EXTREMELY TASTELESS!!!!!! HE WON AN OSCAR? SO WHAT? DENZEL AND MORGAN HAVE WON OSCARS AND BEHAVE MATURE.JAMIE WILL NEVER TAKE IT LIGHTLY IF SOMEONE INSULTS HIS DAUGHTER IN THAT MANNER!!!

She’s stupid enough to actually take his advice and do all those things he said to. hahaha.

@rii: Nicely put. Look man, if you want to say “funny” stuff about people, or even “racist” things, even if you don’t really mean them and are just being comedic, keep it to yourself and your friends. I dare anyone to say they haven’t said anything that isn’t considered politically incorrect, and that we’ve done it only in jest, but to come out in public and belittle a little girl is just friggin’ wrong. I used to really like Jamie Foxx both as comedian and as an actor, but it’ll take more than an apology and an excuse as being a comedian to make him (at the very least) a good person in my eyes.

Jamie has already apologized sooooooooooo shut the FU*K up you A** wipes really!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 all of the haters, thats right he received an OSCAR award & what????????????

Get’em Jamie!!! :^ )

The Diva

mc=dabest @ 09/10/2009 at 6:20 pm

team miley ! that man realy needs 2 grow up !

Only the greats and clean hearted guys can aplogize - you are really great Jamie. Miley Cyrus - you have been very rightly mentioned as a “teen sensation”, yes you are!

WTF, this is just stupid, like he said he is a freaking comidian, Miley and all her fans need to get over them selves. god forbid someone joke about you, and your “just inocent photos” come on, we all know what the pics are implying. go to a magazine stand and you will see the same thing by PlayBoy. I think it’s was just rideculis, that Jamie Foxx had to make an apoligy for a JOKE,,, really. anybody can tell you that when you become famouse, people will love you people will hate you and everything that you do will become the worlds bussiness, and people will lauph and joke about the stupidity of your actions, and if you can’t handle that, then thats too bad , beacuse it comes with the job sweetheart!!!….

GO TEAM FOXX!!!!!

she diserved everything she got!
