Jamie Foxx slams Spike Lee for hating on 'Django' without seeing it

1/19/2013

Jamie Foxx can forget about starring in a Spike Lee film any time soon. The Oscar-winning star of "Ray" and "Dreamgirls" hit back at the director's criticism of his latest movie, "Django Unchained," calling Lee "irresponsible." Lee said the new film, which is about a vengeful slave, is "disrespectful" to his ancestors and refused to see it. In response, former stand-up comic Foxx flexed his roasting muscles against the director, asking, "Where's Spike Lee coming from?... He didn't like Whoopi Goldberg, he doesn't like Tyler Perry, he doesn't like anybody." Foxx further argued, "It gets a little shady when he's taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that's irresponsible." No word yet on whether Lee is lining up at his local multiplex. [Source]
