Actor Jamie Foxx has been criticised for making fun about Bruce Jenner's reported gender transition, while hosting the iHeartRadio Awards. While introducing what the show would have in store, Foxx, 47, took a dig at Jenner, saying, "
We've got some groundbreaking performances here, too, tonight. Bruce Jenner will be here doing some musical performances -- he's doing a his-and-her duet all by himself."
The host was called out by viewers at home, who took to Twitter to criticize his transphobic jokes, said The Hollywood Reporter.
