Kevin Hart’s road to hosting the Oscars just got a little more bumpy.
After multiple homophobic tweets by Hart resurfaced in the wake of his announcement as the 2019 Academy Awards ceremony’s host, the comedian responded with a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday evening. In it, Hart opted not to apologize for his past jokes, but instead claimed that he had changed since then.
ou can watch a (for some reason, shirtless) Hart respond to the growing controversy in both video and caption form below: “Guys, I’m almost 40 years old,” Hart said in the video. “If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify or explain their past, then do you. I’m the wrong guy, man.”
The announcement of Hart as host came just a day before the Golden Globes revealed that Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh would be sharing hosting duties for the upcoming January ceremony.
Who is Kevin Hart again?
He had an over hyped game show.
For a minute.
Yahoo makes a big deal about him all the time.
Therefore, I rank him around the Kardashians.
Which they also think are really important.
Popcorn time.
Kevin Hart is hosting the Oscars? Well, they said they wanted the show to be shorter.
Good for Kevin, and I don’t even like him as a comedian.
Stand up for what is logical and true. Don’t feel as though you must whip yourself over words said before anyone ever heard of you. Don’t humble yourself for them. They are never satisfied with the purity tests.
Stuff like this is why most Hollywood people do not want to host the Awards Shows anymore. All this emotional drawing and quartering, and for what?
Where is it written that fascist fags are to be absolutely protected from having jokes made about them ? These creatures are absolutely deranged and EVIL.
So hes a big fan of butt pirates and carpet munchers now.
Good to know.
Right on your Leeness.
I’d watch the Oscars if Sam Kinison was the host. RIP SAM. FROM SAM.
What is this Acadamey Award thing?
Has this anything to do with King Oscar’s sardines?
Didn’t know the fish had their own awards ceremony?
What next, the salmon run Olympics?
Can you imagine SK doing the Oscars in 2018??
We’ve come to far. Unfortunately.
Too
If Sam Kinison hosted the Oscars it would have the highest viewing ratings of all time.
It would hardly be any good thpugh as there’d be too much bleeped out for tv viewers.
Well that was quick. Kevin Hart is stepping down.
Still have no idea who he is.
Wow! There’s still a Yahoo?
It’s basically Huff Po. All sorts of Leftist Democrat garbage.
Man, that’s a shame.
Humor doesn’t seem to exist in this country anymore, and people seems to have lost the ability to laugh at themselves.
If I was Kevin, I wouldn’t apologize, and I wouldn’t host this mess either.
He did the right thing IMO.
