Jamie Foxx Attacks Miley Cyrus on Radio

At this year’s Grammy Awards, Disney pop star, Miley Cyrus, was turned away when she attempted to meet Radiohead backstage (Kanye West was also denied access). In the weeks that followed, Miley (and Kanye) 
spoke out about being snubbed by the British group and Miley went as far as to say that she was going to “ruin” them. I laughed it off because it is a truly ridiculous statement but she’s a teenager and let’s hope someone had the good sense to talk to her about what she said.
To be honest, I had pretty much pushed this lame story to the back of my mind until I started hearing about a tirade launched by Jamie Foxx on his Sirius radio show “The Foxxhole” this past Sunday night. When a caller mentioned the incident, Foxx sarcastically said “Who is Miley Cyrus” and then continued on an expletive-laced rant where he described her as the girl “with all the gums” and said “she’s going to ruin Radiohead’s career? The same Radiohead that gets paid a million dollars just to sample their song? That Radiohead?”
He had some guests on the show who also called Cyrus names including “little white b*tch” and laughed at Foxx’s comments. Things really crossed the line when Foxx said that the Hannah Montana star should do drugs like Britney Spears, become a lesbian like Lindsay Lohan or make a sex tape and “grow up.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Foxx had one more revolting suggestion for Cyrus – “catch Chlamydia on a bicycle seat.” WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so much worse when you listen to it. Check it out. I can’t believe I found the audio for this!
Do you think that he crossed the line? If he was addressing an adult, it would be incredibly rude but since he’s talking about a child, basically, I think that this is crass and cruel. I don’t care how bad my kid is, if I heard someone suggesting they do drugs, make a sex tape and catch a venereal disease, I would be FURIOUS.

That’s just bad – I’m not a miley cyrus fan, but geez…he’s supposed to be an adult, come on.
Agreed.
While I think Miley has made a lot of stupid mistakes, she is still – as you said – essentially a child. For a grown man to throw insults like that, well it’s bad enough, but when you stop and realize he’s addressing a 16-year-old girl it’s a little disgusting.
How would he feel if he had a 16-year-old daughter and someone told her to go get an STD and shoot up drugs and grow up? Is that what he thinks growing up is?!
I usually like Jamie Foxx, but this is a huge turn-off and not funny.
