Hey, remember on Sunday, when Jamie Foxx went off all batshit crazy about Miley Cyrus, the one who “gotta get a gum transplant” and “do some heroin” and “put some crack your pipe”? As of Tuesday afternoon, he had yet to issue an apology, and word on the street was that Papa Cyrus was PISSED. “He thinks Jamie was out of line and didn’t find any humor in it,” said a source. “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley especially since he has teenage daughter himself … Billy Ray isn’t going to say anything publicly because he doesn’t want to this to escalate.”
The actor and comedian has been taking a lot of heat lately for his comments about the 16-year-old, which began when a random caller phoned into his radio show to say that he thought Miley was a bitch.
But when Foxx went on Jay Leno’s show Tuesday night, Leno pushed the issue, and Foxx finally apologized.
“Did you say something inappropriate?” Jay Leno innocently queried of the Oscar winner on Tuesday’s Tonight Show.
“Yeah,” Foxx admitted, taking a few breaths before launching into a full-blown apology.
“I so apologize to [Cyrus], and this is sincere,” he began. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. [Big laugh from the audience]. 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,” he added, turning to Leno.
Then, looking at the camera, “Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”
What do we think, guys? Apology accepted or no?
Probably not because that would be the end of the news cycle. Cyrus’s people will milk it like a cat.
you mean like a cow?
I was carelessly reading that person’s comment and didn’t realize anything was odd about it until I read your response. Then I burst out laughing. Oh lord…
So I guess being a comedian gets Michael Richards off the hook as well. It was a bullshit apology.
Let him wander in the wilderness for a while (like Kramer) before he gets forgiven.
He shouldn’t even have to be apologizing. This is so inane. People need to find their senses of humor, and QUICK.
He should have known better… he wouldn’t want people saying his teen daughter should start doing drugs and shit. It’s not that people lack a sense of humor it’s that his comments just weren’t funny. He wasn’t thinking of the fact that his comments would be taken personally since everyone says things about miley. It was probably more of a blow to her dad, as it would be to any parent hearing people saying their kid should start doing heroin and crack.
If he can’t take a joke then Billy Ray needs to grow up. People who get offended & get all riled up over things like this are ruining America, and so are you.
You know what…the drug thing isn’t even what gets me. That’s not funny to me but drug jokes just aren’t. What really gets to me is the “You should just make a porno and grow up,” comment. Good. That means when your little girl grows up JorgeMacD, she can look up to a REAL role model like Miley and go out a make a porno at 16!!! If that would make you proud of your daughter…you should be castrated by the inmates at Leavenworth. Hell yeah Billy Ray needs to get a little pissed because she is 16.
BOOM. Roasted!
if there’s Miley Cyrus and drugs in the joke, it’s funny!
Bwahahahaha!
Agreed. He shouldn’t apologize. Because people need thicker skins. Not everyone is going to like you. Some people are going to think you have big gums and some people are going to say dumb shit about drugs. Get over it. Teenager or not, she’s in the public eye… she’s going to catch shit from people.
She should have issued a statement saying that her big gums match his big ass mouth.
I also don’t think he needed to apologize. I think the stuff that he would’ve had to apologize for was said by the person who was calling in.
is that how you would feel if it was your daughter? i’m sorry, but a grown man should not be ripping to shreds a minor. comedians are supposed to be funny, but sorry i didn’t find any of that funny. try being witty or smart instead of just insulting kids.
She does have large gums… but he’s got big lips… so they’re even.
and how OLD is Jamie Foxx to make fun of a teenager’s gums? This was just pure stupidity on a radio show, not a “sense of humor” kind of moment.
ps:
yeah he had to throw some BritneySpears also into the mix, like we never heard shit like that before, ha ha ha.
Personally my feelings would have been hurt about the big gums statement, not all the drug talk. I took all that in jest “put some crack in your pipe if you wanna be legit” that took more of a stab at hollywood in general. I think you can be funny and make fun of someone but I think he took it a bit to far, especially with Miley being 16 and Jamie foxx being in his 40’s.
If I were Miley in this situation, I would have ignored it. Sometimes doing nothing really is the best thing. I think she would have ignored it had her father not gone all papa-bear about it. She seems like she’s confident and self-assured enough not to care about someone saying stupid things; I think her father is a bit too protective.
Now, I do take issue with the lady who called her a ‘white bitch’ which takes the insults to a whole new level. No one’s demanding an apology from the cohost, while Don Imus had to apologize up one side and down the other for his ‘nappy-headed hos’ comment about the Rutgers womens basketball team. Double standard much?
This whole thing is just silly.
Yeah, the white bitch part was passed over. Had a white woman said “that black bitch” on radio she would be out of a job. Personally, I think we should all utilize our rights before they are no longer … especially comedians. If racial references are not allowed out of the mouths of white men and women, the same standard should be held to black men and women. Period.
Oh no…we can’t be having any of this guys. Affirmitive actions assures us that minorities HAVE to have the upper hand because of what our ancestors did to their ancestors.
Unless of course you can prove that your ancestors actually FOUGHT to protect their ancestors then in cases like my own…I don’t owe one minority a F-ing thing. My concience is clear.
Stephen r–get a life you pontificating idiot.
HE SHOULD NOT APOLOGIZE… SHE IS A B1TCH. WHY DOES SHE THINK SHE IS ANYTHING SPECIAL? BECAUSE SHE IS FAMOUS AND CELEBRITIES ARE USED TO GETTING THEIR WAY. I’M GLAD THEY TOLD HER TO FUC K OFF. AND WHY ISN’T ANYONE COMMENTING ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID. I MEAN COME ON, SHE WILL RUIN THEM!!!! SHE’S A GOOD ARTIST BUT SHE’S JUST A LITTLE 16YR OLD CELEBRITY B1TCH!!!
Miley is stupid to try and make beef between radiohead and end their career. She is nowhere close to their status. She doesnt even make her on songs. Stupid cunt.
Hey JoJo…are you still mad because she didn’t give you an autograph at her last concert?
None of that would have came out if it hadn’t been for Jamie Foxx and his retarded co-hosts. No one would have thought twice. So it looks like the media has taught you well…blow up at nothing and minimize the big stuff.
I’m glad Papa Cyrus came to the rescue. Sure maybe Miley does have a big head and is used to special treatment for being famous, but hurtful comments like that stick for long time. Underneath it all, she’s just a 16 yo girl.
There’s nothing funny about a heroin addiction and this coming from someone with a really crude sense of humor
Miley has said and done PLENTY of insensitive things to others. Tough shit. If she didn’t deserve it, no one would go there. No one says anything about Taylor Swift… Hmmm… Jamie Foxx had to apologize, it was brought to the public forum (Leno), but he doesn’t have to mean it, she’s in Hollywood and is subject to that kind of nasty humor (even though it’s hilarious!!). That’s why she needs to take better care of her reputation! Miley and her dad are social idiots.
Sorry man, when I listed to it, it was total crude Howard Stern type comedy crap. Foxx didn’t need to apologize for shit. And if Billy ‘Mullet’ Cyrus is so sensitive about his little girl he shouldn’t be pimping her ass all over the airwaves. If anything a 16 year old ‘celebrity’ should be keeping their damn mouth shut. First she shows up at the Oscars acts like a moron(oh that got my damned goat) and then she busts on Radiohead? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me….she had the balls to say something, ANYTHING about Radiohead??? !! Oh hell no!
….and she DOES HAVE BIG GUMS! Her and Diddy should head out to the same doctor to get that shit fixed.
it’s never nice to say bad things about someone else.. i mean, we all have glass roofs… but he has a point, he’s a comedian… most of the time we shouldn’t take what they say seriously… If needed or not, i think it’s very nice of him to apologize.
And I don’t think Miley’s father is wrong to complain either… if he was offended, he better say it, then most likely it won’t happen again (on Jamie Foxx’s radio show, of course).
Hey, it’s a joke.
Second she’s white, straight, and christian. (If she were male, that would be the worst.) Foxx’s remarks make up for billions of people killed in the Middle Passage and 250+ years of slavery, lynching, and rape. Moreover, people of color are being lynched right now by straight white male christians. J
Jamie can say whatever he wants–but don’t poke fun at Islam with comments like ALLAH MUST COME BY HIMSELF or MUHAMMUD ROCKIN’ DA CRACK HOUSE. That would be mean.
Muhammud rockin’ da crack house.
Dawg,
You are an idiot.
He was WAY out of line. She is 16 years old and he has a filthy mouth. I thought he had way more class than this. I am really disappointed in him.
Who the hell is Radiohead? I’ve never even heard of them.
I think it is sad how you can say crap about a teen like that! Billy ray is right if he said somethings like that about his teen then he would have been PISSED OR worse he would blame Billy Ray to be a racist! So yes he should have apolgized and he did so it is time to move on!!!
You know I listened to the audio of that it and it kind of sickened me that Jamie Foxx would say those things but then turn around and say, “I have a daughter too so I completely understand.” If you have a kid…you should probably be mindful of what you say AT ALL TIMES because things do get back around. The flip side of this coin is that when people get to joking…whether they mean it or not…we will say stuff because people want to hear it. So those people are sick…the ones that WANT to hear that, not the ones that say it for a laugh. So take an apology if they want to but take it with a little grain of salt because Jamie Foxx should have known better.
jamie foxx is pathetic…he always has been, now he’s just beyond pathetic.
ever since he got a “real” movie role in ‘ray’, he thinks he is hot shit…anyone remember him as bunz in booty call?! COME ON!!!
a man who is in his 40’s should not be busting on young girls-esp. the shit he said. yeah, radiohead is light years ahead of miley, but really, who the fuck is jamie compared to miley!? she’s only 16 & has a career wayyyy ahead of his!
she should pay someone to bust his shit up!!! : )
I would hope that Jamie Foxx can look at his career and decide if his acting abilities have given him the God given right to denigrate another persons abilities, or would he consider that just perhaps he is no Laurence Olivier nor a Sidney poitier.
you people should stop worrying about this celebrity gossip stuff, its all really stupid
Miley deserves it. She’s such a pathetic bitch
