It all started with a since-deleted Instagram post from Jamie.
"They killed this dude named Jesus … what do you think they'll do to you?" the post read, along with the hashtags "#fakefriends" and "#fakelove."
Some interpreted the "they" in his message to mean "Jewish people," and when it appeared that Jennifer liked the post, some worried what it might mean about her and her beliefs.
Jennifer quickly pointed out that she did not intentionally like the post.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Jennifer claimed that she did not like the post "on purpose or by accident."
"More importantly, I want to be clear to my friends and anyone hurt by this showing up in their feeds – I do NOT support antisemitism. And I truly don't tolerate HATE of any kind. Period," she added.
Many believe that Jennifer is incorrectly accusing Jamie of anti-Semitism.
On Twitter, people have been outspoken about how they believe that Jennifer misinterpreted Jamie's words.
"Jennifer Aniston deserves the Black Twitter dragging she's getting. Jamie didn't say anything wrong. He literally used a phrase/scenario about fake friends that I heard first from my Nana. It's been in our community for yrs. It's not antisemitic. It's warning you of your circle," one person wrote.
"I do think Jennifer Aniston owes Jamie Foxx an apology for accusing him of being antisemitic. He’s not, and her comments were both toxic and harmful," another person tweeted.

Still, plenty of people admitted they were offended by Jamie's choice of words.
On the other side of the argument, many said they could see how Jamie's post could have been taken the wrong way.
".@iamjamiefoxx posted an apology. But the damage has been done. A lot of ignorance exposed. He needs to speak on why and how his poorly chosen words revived an old antisemitic trope. The Jews are not to blame for every personal grievance someone has. We’re not your scapegoat," read one tweet.
In the end, Jamie deleted the post and issued an apology.
"I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who was offended by my post," he wrote. "I now know my choice of words have caused offense and I'm sorry. That was never my intent. To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that's what I meant with 'they' not anything more.
"I only have love in my heart for everyone," he continued. "I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to anyone who was offended."
