Hannah Beachler, the production designer from the film Sinners, wrote on X: "The situation is almost impossible, but it happened 3 times that night, and one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show. "I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. "But what made the situation worse was the throw away apology of 'if you were offended' at the end of the show. Of course we were offended." Jordan's former co-star on The Wire, Wendell Pierce, posted: "It's infuriating that the first reaction wasn't complete and full throated apologies to Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan. "The insult to them takes priority. It doesn't matter the reasoning for the racist slur." Oscar winner Jamie Foxx added in a comment posted on Instagram that the slur had been "unacceptable".

The guy can't even control it and most of the black folxs want his head on a stick. Black people's feelings are the most important thing in the universe.

Jamie Foxx who has used the slur in standup, music, and acting now says it's unacceptable
