Jamie Foxx under fire for transphobic Bruce Jenner jokes at iHeartRadio awards.

Jamie Foxx hosted the IHeartRadio Music Awards Sunday night and has spent much of the next morning taking heat on Twitter for a joke he made at Bruce Jenner’s expense.

“We have some groundbreaking performances here too tonight,”
Foxx said in his monologue. “Bruce Jenner will be here doing some musical performances. He’s doing a his and her duet all by himself.”
Ouch...

“Look, I’m just busting your balls while I still can,
” he added to a mixture of groans and applause from the audience, which included Kylie Jenner, the Olympian-turned-reality star’s teenage daughter.
The tweet that seems to have set off the firestorm over Foxx’s joke came from Perez Hilton, who accused NBC of airing “transphobic” jokes.

 Jenner has been rumored to be transitioning into a trans woman, but has neither confirmed nor denied that supposition.
