Whoa! Jamie Foxx Blasted By 1st Deaf Dancing w/The Stars Winner Over Disrespect

Jamie Foxx is finding himself in the middle of some beef right about now. We all know Jamie and talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, but only some of us may be familiar with Nyle DiMarco. He’s the dude who recently made history by becoming the very first deaf competitor to win both Dancing With The Stars and America’s Next Top Model.

Although DiMarco has set an incredible example that hearing challenged people can do anything that anyone else can do, he’s pissed with Jamie and Jimmy for blatantly disrespecting the human rights of people with hearing impairments.

It all started after Jamie Foxx appeared on The Jimmy Fallon Show the other day. As Jimmy was going to commercial, Jamie pretended to be interpreting what Jimmy was saying through fake sign language hand gestures. The audience was crackin’ up, as well as Jimmy, who saw Jamie’s hand signaling as a harmless joke. After the show aired, DiMarco posted a statement and made comments blasting Jamie and Jimmy for the ‘straight up disrespect.’ Check it out below:

According to TMZ, DiMarco stated this about Jamie’s sign-language incident:”How was this allowed? Where’s the cultural sensitivity. Not comedy when you make fun of others.” […] “It is straight up disrespectful to make up sign language. Everything is in gibberish.”

DiMarco also released this statement about the incident:

In other Jamie Foxx news: He and Katie Holmes (Tom Cruise’s ex wife) finally got caught creepin’ together as they boarded a private jet together. So after about two years of successfully dodging the cameras throughout their alleged relationship, it looks like it’s getting tougher for them to do so…if they are ‘together.’ Still no word from neither of them on this yet though.
