Actor Jamie Foxx says that Roman Polanski would probably “be missing” if it was HIS daughter he had touched.
Foxx has spoken out against the director, who is looking at extradition to the United States after he fled in 1978 when he was convicted of having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
Foxx insists he have no problems with taking the law into his own hands if his it was his child that was in danger.
He recently told Parade:
“If it had been my daughter who was barely a teenager – my daughter is 15 – Roman Polanski would be missing… period. It wouldn’t even get to the court case. But, that’s me and I wouldn’t want anyone else to follow that because you should let the justice system work it out.
“On the other hand, I don’t know Roman Polanski, but maybe if I had a relationship with him my answer would be different. I just think this whole issue is bigger than Roman Polanski.”
Jamie Foxx, 41, does admit that he really has no idea how far he would take things to get revenge if someone hurt his loved ones.
He added:
“Revenge is a tough thing. When it comes to someone bringing harm to your family, it’s hard to think about turning the other cheek. Some of things I’ve said I’d do to sexual perpetrators were pretty graphic. But I also read some stories of people taking the law into their own hands, which is bad too. So it’s tough to know how far you’d go.”
