LGBT Groups Slam Jamie Foxx's 'Transphobic' Joke Against Bruce Jenner

Jamie Foxx's alleged 'transphobic' joke about Bruce Jenner that he shared during the iHeart Radio Music Festival on Saturday at the Shrine Auditorium has caused a stir among members and supporters of the LGBT community in social media.

As mentioned by Mail Online, the host pulled out a joke accused to have gone beyond the lines of propriety.

"We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight. We got Bruce Jenner, will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his and her duet all by himself," he told the crowd.

"Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can," he further added.

Hours after the event was broadcasted on television, The Blaze said that celebrity blogger Perez Hilton reacted saying, "Boo! Shame on you #iHeartAwards for allowing @iamjamiefoxx to be transphobic on national television! Those #BruceJenner jokes were wrong!!!

His Tweet was joined by other Tweeter users who strongly felt that the joke did not turn out right.

"Seriously #JamieFoxx? #BruceJenner jokes? You're disgusting, that's not ok. It wasn't funny, just mean spirited and lazy. #SupportLGBT," one Twitter user said.

"Jamie Foxx just made a terrible, disgusting joke about Bruce Jenner's rumored transition on this trash awards show," tweeted @laurennostro

The following day, 36-year old Burt Jenner had an ambush interview with TMZ while he arrived at the LAX on Monday and was made to comment about the iHeart incident.

Burt lashed back saying, "I think he is just copying Kevin Hart because Kevin Hart is taking all his movie opportunities. The man is on a roll and Jamie Foxx is on the way down. He's gotta keep his mojo going so he's gotta copy what's working."

As remembered Kevin Hart also pulled similar transphobic jokes during the Justin Bieber's Roast last week with his sister Kylie Jenner attending the event.

'You can make jokes about my dad all you want but you can't make some jokes in front of my sister, making my sister feel awkward," Burt added.

It has been months now since Bruce Jenner is rumored to be undergoing a gender change and will talk about it in another TV series apart from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians show.

Sources said that Bruce Jenner had already received approval and blessing from some members of the Kardashian family including his sons Burt, Brandon and Brody. Kim Kardashian, his stepdaughter is also rumored to have accepted his decision for the gender change.

Summary: A lot of people from Twitter got violated with Jamie Foxx's joke about Bruce Jenner that he said at the iHeart Festival on Saturday. The joke is alleged to be transphobic.
