HOLLYWOOD - Oscar winner Jamie Foxx erupted on the set of his new movie Miami Vice afterlearning of a racist prank played on his stand-in.
The actor reportedly insisted that two insensitive crew members were
dismissed after they approached David Brown holding nooses, suggesting that he
and Foxx were heading for a Ku Klux Klan-style lynching.
Publicists for the movie confirm the incident took place but refuse to
comment further.
But an insider on the set tells the National Enquirer, "Jamie was
absolutely infuriated with the blatant racism. To him and David, the joke was a
reference to the common practice of lynching black people in the American south
during slavery days.
"Jamie came stomping out of his dressing room and demanded an explanation
from the crew members involved. They realized they had gone too far with the
joke but an apology was far too little and too late for Jamie."
