Corinne Foxx Once Said Her Famous Father Tried to Intimidate One of Her Former Boyfriends
Interestingly, Corinne once revealed to Jimmy Kimmel that her father, Jamie Foxx, had a somewhat intimidating influence on her boyfriends during her teenage years. She recounted a particular story about her dad bringing his "tough" friends to meet one of her ex-boyfriends, and elaborated:
"I didn't know until years later because my boyfriend was too scared to tell me. My dad was like, 'Oh yeah, we went to his house and I brought all my tough friends and we did the whole shotgun speech.' And I was like, 'That makes sense now. In retrospect, that makes sense.'"
Corinne said the boyfriend seemed scared of her dad and eventually broke up with her. Jamie Foxx opened up about trying to intimidate his daughter's date and even asking Snoop Dogg to shake him up when he came to their house.
But Corinne Foxx does not hold a grudge against her father for being overprotective, and their father-daughter relationship remains unshakeable.
