iHR Music Awards: Jamie Foxx Accused of 'Transphobia'

Jamie Foxx

Actor and comedian Jamie Foxx is being accused of "transphobia" for jokes he made during his opening monologue as host of the NBC-broadcast iHeartRadio Awards last night (March 29th) about Bruce Jenner's reported transition from male to female.

Foxx joked, "We got some groundbreaking performances here too tonight. We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his-and-her duet all by himself." He followed that up with:

"Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can." The joke got a restrained response from the audience at L.A's Shrine Auditorium, while some viewers took to Twitter to call Foxx out for the jokes, which they charged were offensive.
