Jamie Foxx Under Fire for ‘Transphobic’ Bruce Jenner Jokes

Jamie Foxx hosted the IHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday night and has spent much of the next morning taking heat on Twitter for a joke he made at Bruce Jenner’s expense.

“We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight,” Foxx said in his monologue. “Bruce Jenner 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,” he added to a mixture of groans and applause from the audience, which included Kylie Jenner, the Olympian-turned-reality star’s teenage daughter.

The tweet that seems to have set off the firestorm over Foxx’s joke came from Perez Hilton, who accused NBC of airing “transphobic” jokes. Jenner has been rumored to be transitioning into a trans woman, but has neither confirmed nor denied that supposition.

Foxx has not yet addressed the backlash publicly on social media and has not responded to requests for comment.

It’s ok. He’s black, liberal and cool. Nothing to see here folks. Move along .....

Under fire before Bruce’s under the scalpel.

Perez Hilton is having a sissy fit!

“Transphobic”.

Disdain for psychotic behavior becomes a “phobia”, which is a serious neurosis stemming from irrational fears.

I am not “transphobic” or “homophobic” or “islamophobic”.

I don’t fear them. I positively despise all of them.

All of it, including islam, is psychotic. If you don’t believe me, just watch what they do. If that isn’t the outworkings of psychosis, then I just don’t know what is.

He’s black, and he’s a racist asshole. And Bruce Jenner is a perverted freak.

[Cowboy Bob]

I’m not a Jamie Foxx fan...but the jokes were pretty good!

Trannies have surpassed blacks on the pyramid of liberal victimhood. They’ll throw him under the bus.

“Look, I’m just busting your balls while I still can,”

I think the jokes are funny.

I was rooting for Gerard Butler in “Law Abiding Citizen” myself. It would have been nice to see HIM pick up a cell phone and answer a call from Gerard.

[FrdmLvr]

He’s under fire for THAT? Unbelievable. Pretty mild really, and pretty good, too.

Obuma will invite him to the white house for a beer and a good talkin’ to...

[elcid1970]

So, when does Brucie-Woosie have his choppadicoffamy procedure, and will there be a congratulatory phone call from the Oval Orifice?

[MeshugeMikey]

Im guessing that Francis....may call me and offer his “blessings”

Perez doesn’t care IMO, he’s probably trolling for attention.
