Jamie Foxx Targeted With Racial Slur During 'Robin Hood: Origins' Shoot in Croatia
Croatian
police have filed disorderly conduct charges against two people who
allegedly used a racial slur to insult Jamie Foxx in a restaurant.
Police
said they acted after receiving reports Sunday of “particularly
arrogant and rude” insults made against restaurant guests, including
“one of the guests on racial grounds.”
The police statement did not name
Foxx as the target, but the actor briefly posted comments about the
incident on his Instagram profile before deleting them.
He mentioned an
offensive racial term among the examples of the vulgar language used.
Police
say they are investigating whether to pursue other charges against the
men. Croatia, like other European countries, has seen a rise in
far-right sentiments.
The Lionsgate retelling of English folklore stars Taron Egerton as the titular thief.
Otto Bathurst is directing the action film, also starring Tim Minchin, Eve Hewson, Jamie Dornan and Ben Mendelsohn.
