Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx is unhappy with UFC president Dana White seemingly being let off the hook by the media after slapping his wife.
On New Year’s Eve, at a nightclub in Mexico, White and his long-time partner, Anne, were filmed in their VIP area having a heated exchange that then became physical.

Video obtained by TMZ showed 53-year-old White grabbing Anne’s arm before she aimed a slap at him and he retaliated by slapping her twice.
The UFC boss has apologised for his actions but many people are calling for him to be removed from his leadership role in the MMA’s premier promotion following the incident.
However, comedian D.L. Hughley suggested the media has taken it easy on White and expressed his belief that it’s because of the colour of his skin.
He wrote on Instagram: “What can BROWN do for you?” Apparently not a damn thing! If that had been a brotha, it’d be NONSTOP coverage, dredging up a playground fight from the 3rd grade, scouring old tweets, you name it.
“Dana White’s ENTIRE LIFE is immersed in brutal, physical violence, he’s amassed a fortune from it. Where are the salacious headlines?? Where’s the pressure??
“Ohhhhh, he apologised #WhitePrivilege (PUN INTENDED) scores a 1st round knockout yet again.”
