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.

That thing used to be one of America’s finest athletes. What the hell has happened to this country?

So will he now be officially known as the 1976 Women’s Decathlon Champion?

I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid - winning the gold for the USA. I thought he was so handsome. He was an American hero. This just proves that if you ever move to Los Angeles, don’t stay more than 10 years.

Most comedians sold-out to the left years ago because that’s where all the hookers and coke flowed from. They got to make all of the dirty jokes they wanted and it made them lots of money.

Now that the left is all a bunch of Social Justice Warriors and control freaks, now these guys are living to regret it because saying the wrong thing will make them a target.

You'd be surprised to know that many hookers are conservatives. They are supporters of the free market and libertarian government.

Phobia? Is it part of the liberal mental disorder to confuse "fear" with "revulsion"?

who was it that said award shows were for women to look at shoes and men who looked at women’s hair styles?

Why do they need to be so negative? Instead of “transphobic” or “homophobic,” I prefer to think of the sentiment as “normophilic.”

Soon after Jenner married that horrid Kardashian woman, she cut it off and stuck it in the freezer for the duration of their marriage. Brucie Girl is just following through.

"normophilic" ... I like that. Or, maybe we can co-opt "heterophilic" toward that end?

Libertarian is not conservative. Hookers are scum, just better than leftists and used car salesmen.

Good. I'm glad when the PC crowd gets hoisted on their own petard. Foxx is a race baiter so he deserves to get slammed.

Good Lord. Now being black isn’t good enough protection any more. Homo is the new black I guess.
