Kevin Hart may have just been announced as host of the 2019 Oscars, but there wasn’t much time to celebrate.
Why?
Well, archived tweets from the comedian were unearthed and were explicitly homophobic, misogynistic, and even colorist. [Note: we won’t share them here, but they’re…about]
Looking to quell the rising flames, Hart has issued a apology – which took on two tones.
The first was remorseful, with the funnyman asserting “I love everybody.” Yet the other seemed annoyed with the fact folk took aim at him.
Peep his video and text statements below…
Via KH:
Stop looking for reasons to be negative…Stop searching for reasons to be angry….I swear I wish you guys could see/feel/understand the mental place that I am in. I am truly happy people….there is nothing that you can do to change that…NOTHING. I work hard on a daily basis to spread positivity to all….with that being said. If u want to search my history or past and anger yourselves with what u find that is fine with me. I’m almost 40 years old and I’m in love with the man that I am becoming. You LIVE and YOU LEARN & YOU GROW & YOU MATURE. I live to Love….Please take your negative energy and put it into something constructive. Please….What’s understood should never have to be said. I LOVE EVERYBODY…..ONCE AGAIN EVERYBODY. If you choose to not believe me then that’s on you….Have a beautiful day
Will it suffice?
Too late! You know what you say!
My opinion after seeing the tweets, looking at the timestamps, and seeing the out of nowhere gay bashing is that he is UNDERCOVER GAY. Most “straight” men that have a complex about gay men are UNDERCOVER GAY. His publicist NEEDS TO MAKE HIM STEPDOWN FROM HOSTING the Oscars because HOLLYWEIRD IS RUN BY GAYS AND JEWS. He should apologize and move on or apologize and come out as bisexusal.
The tweet isbarely 10 years old. He was a grown grown man when he tweeted that. The bad part is he not even funny , so that on top of him saying homophobic stuff . He dead to me now.
As a blog its ur job to post the facts. It should be a one stop shop. I shouldnt have to go somewhere else to get the rest of the story
How unfortunate. I’d like him to address the controversy directly. I can understand what he is talking about with regards to growth and maturity, but he should apologize for the offensive comments he made. Doesn’t matter how long ago the comments were made. This could potentially be a big blow to his future opportunities if mismanaged. But who knows…
There was no apology here. he’s full of himself. he seemed more annoyed than anything. bye.
Ummm….Call the LGBT sensitive all you want, but I don’t like or support Kevin anymore after this…
That goodness his star has FINALLY fallen … It’s been overdue…yall late.
His mignature size but I think his packing
