Corinne Foxx told the New York Post that she remembers her famous father often embarrassing her when she was growing up. Corrine shared that she is quite reserved compared to Jamie Foxx, which often lead to tense but funny moments for the pair. She specifically recalls that her dad had a habit of scaring away her boyfriends by wearing "such tight pants" that were "too young for him" or attending her soccer games in "a tight leather jacket."
Though Corinne got used to her dad's "quirks" growing up, she admits that she now has a newfound appreciation for her father's over-the-top nature. "We're incredibly close and I think we always had this yin and yang relationship where he was really over the top and I was more reserved and that's where in my teenage years a lot of conflicts happened," she explained. "But now I think we can appreciate those qualities in one another."
Corrine told the Daily News that she often told stories about these funny moments with her dad and realized that they would be great source material for a series. She said, "We'd told these stories for so long that we finally got to a point where we were like, 'Why not take these stories and make them episodes?' That's kind of what we did: we took these stories from our personal lives and turned them into a television show."
