Jamie Foxx Accused Of Transphobia As He Makes Fun Of Bruce Jenner

Jamie Foxx has been accused of transphobia after making fun of Bruce Jenner and his reported gender transition into becoming a woman. Jamie Foxx got things off to an uncomfortable start at the iHeartRadio Awards on Sunday, March 29. After performances from Iggy Azalea,Jennifer Hudson, and Nick Jonas, the Anniestar took the stage at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium to begin his hosting duties with a roast-like monologue. Foxx, 47, first took aim at rapper Suge Knight, who's facing murder charges for a hit-and-run in January. He then turned the spotlight on Bruce Jenner, making a poorly received joke about the reality star's transition from male to female. He said: "We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight. We got Bruce Jenner, will be here doing some musical performances. He’s doing a his and her duet all by himself." Jamie then added: "Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can." Although Bruce has still yet to publicly discuss his rumored gender reassignment, it didn't stop host Foxx from receiving a backlash on Twitter over his remarks. Perez Hilton was first to tweet complaining. ![](/content/2015/03/jamie-foxx-accused-of-transphobia-as-he-makes-fun-of-bruce-jenner/images/wpid-jamietwt.webp "jamietwt.webp". ![](/content/2015/03/jamie-foxx-accused-of-transphobia-as-he-makes-fun-of-bruce-jenner/images/wpid-jamietwt1.webp "jamietwt1.PNG". Bruce Jenner's daughter Kylie was supposed to be attending the awards with her rapper boyfriend Tyga, according to a picture posted before the event which showed placecards with their names attached to chairs at the venue. However, it's unclear if she showed up to the event since Kylie wasn't spotted on the red carpet Sunday night.
