Much like fellow celebrities Janet Jackson, Kerry Washington, Ariana Grande, and countless others, Kevin Hart took to social media to share his support for actor/singer Jussie Smollett after reports surfaced he’d suffered a homophobic attack at the hands of two assailants.

Unlike his fellow celebs, Hart was hit with a swift and fiery response from Smollett’s supporters.  Damning the funnyman for his nearly decade old homophobic tweets that recently resurfaced (and cost him the Oscars hosting gig along the way), the 39-year-old got a harsh schooling on why language like what he used in those hate messages are harmful.

When the influx of criticism became too much, Kev took to Twitter to clap back.  See his response to the hoopla inside:
