Jennifer Aniston is questioning cancel culture despite comments she recently made about Jamie Foxx seemingly trying to get him canceled.
The actress sat down with WSJ Magazine recently, where she dished on the current state of fans dismissing famous folks over public mishaps and/or trash behaviors. Weeks ago, Aniston was the topic of a nasty social media dragging when she slammed Foxx over antisemitism after he made an IG post about alleged fake friends where he wrote, “They killed this dude name Jesus…what do you think they’ll do to you?” Aniston took these words and flipped them, assuming that Foxx was making improper comments about Jews when he was actually using a reference commonly known in the Black community. She has yet to apologize publicly for fueling this accusation. Foxx, on the other hand, did issue an apology for the misunderstanding, explaining that he was not dissing Jewish people in any way. His followers have seemingly forgiven him, though Aniston alluded to still being on the hook for pushing such claims.
“I’m so over cancel culture. I probably just got canceled by saying that. I just don’t understand what it means,” she told the outlet before asking, “Is there no redemption? I don’t know. I don’t put everybody in the Harvey Weinstein basket.”
Aniston is referring to the permanent cancellation of the disgraced producer who was convicted of raping several women. The “Friends” star briefly interacted with him throughout her career but insisted they were never together alone, something she intentionally made sure of.
Should Foxx fans forgive Aniston for misconstruing his words, or did she deserve the backlash she received?
