Jamie Foxx racially attacked in Croatia
The police statement did not name him as the target, but the actor briefly posted comments about the incident on his Instagram profile
Croatian police have filed disorderly conduct charges against two people who allegedly used a racial slur to insult Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx in a restaurant.
Police said they acted after receiving reports on 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.
Foxx 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.
Foxx was in Dubrovnik, a city on the Adriatic Sea, filming a Robin Hood remake.
