Jamie Foxx

<p>Things are shaking up on the set of <a href="/profile/JamieFoxx" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Jamie Foxx</a>&#8217;s new film. There have been murmurs of discontent involving <em>Back in Action</em>, Foxx&#8217;s latest feature <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/422743-cameron-diaz-believes-she-was-a-drug-mule-before-landing-the-mask-role-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-starring Cameron Diaz.</a> Close attention is being paid to the movie, notably because it marks Diaz&#8217;s return to acting following an eight-year hiatus. This week, <em>Daily Mail </em>reported they spoke with &#8220;sources&#8221; who claimed Diaz was ready to leave Hollywood for good once again following Foxx having a meltdown on set. A follow-up report said that the fury stemmed from an alleged scammer lurking in production.</p>



<p><em>The Sun</em> reported <em>Back in Action</em> is currently in London, facing delays due to bad weather. While the nature of the scam is unclear, it was said to have been &#8220;elaborate,&#8221; as an employee attempted to steal upwards of $40,000 from Foxx. “One staffer has been sacked, and there are investigations after someone tried to get access to £33,000 in cash from Jamie Foxx,” a source claimed. “It sounds as though they tried to offer up a Rolex watch as part of the deal, but now there’s an investigation into everything going on.”</p>

<p>Additionally, it&#8217;s speculated that the employee in question may have pulled off <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/272136-michael-avenatti-guilty-of-extorting-nike-for-s25-million-news">similar scams</a> with other wealthy celebrities. Their involvement in the production is unknown, and the person&#8217;s name hasn&#8217;t been shared publicly. It is also unclear if formal charges have been filed or if Foxx or Netflix will take legal action. “This film has been a bit of a nightmare,” the source further shared. Despite the controversy, Foxx, Diaz, and Netflix have not issued formal statements.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, in September 2022, Diaz visited The <em>Tonight Show</em> and told Jimmy Fallon she was &#8220;nervous and excited.&#8221; It was reported that Foxx even recruited the<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/637362-bruce-arians-admits-tom-bradys-divorce-impacted-buccaneers-2022-struggles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> help of Tom Brady</a> to help drag Diaz out of retirement. &#8220;You know, it&#8217;s a little bit of muscle memory, you know what I mean?&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;Sort like, I did that for so long, it&#8217;s kind of like the process, I kind of just fell back into it. But, it kind of feels a bit different.&#8221; Watch Cameron Diaz discuss her return to Hollywood above.</p>
