Jonah Hill calls out Kanye West's antisemitism in new Apple TV film Outcome. Keanu Reeves co-stars in this sharp Hollywood satire.

AceShowbiz - Outcome is a new film recently released on Apple TV that features a striking moment addressing antisemitism, with actor Jonah Hill calling out Kanye West for his history of hateful remarks. This comes just weeks after West praised Hill’s movie "21 Jump Street" as having made him "like Jewish people again."

The movie stars Keanu Reeves as Reef Hawk, a famous actor and recovering addict, and Hill as his agent, Ira Slitz. When Reef learns about a potentially damaging video that might be released, Slitz reassures him by saying, "We ran the numbers. Turns out that hating Jews doesn't negatively affect a person's career. In fact, it can even help." Immediately after this line, the film cuts to a photograph of West on a wall, making a direct reference to the rapper’s ongoing antisemitism.

Kanye West has a documented history of antisemitic and bigoted comments dating back to at least 2005. Despite this, West issued an apology for his recent antisemitic actions in January. In an open letter published by the Wall Street Journal, he admitted that his words have global influence and expressed regret, saying, "I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change." He also stated, "I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people."

However, West’s actions have included deeply troubling behavior. In 2025, he sold t-shirts featuring swastikas and released a song titled "Heil Hitler." In 2023, he released another track featuring Lil Durk and Ty Dolla $ign that contained openly antisemitic lyrics. These incidents followed a series of antisemitic social media posts in 2022 and led to the removal of an episode featuring West from the show "The Shop: Uninterrupted."

During an October 2023 appearance on "Drink Champs," West claimed he was targeted by "the Jewish media" and admitted that they influenced him to adopt an antisemitic stance. He stated, "you really influenced me to get on this antisemite vibe and, you know, I'm here to finish the job. I'm here to not back down."

The inclusion of this pointed reference to West’s antisemitism in Outcome reflects a bold statement by Jonah Hill and the filmmakers, confronting the rapper’s controversial legacy directly within the narrative of the film. The movie’s release on Apple TV has sparked conversations about the intersection of celebrity, bigotry, and accountability in the entertainment industry.
