Kevin Hart was forced to step down as host of the 2019 Academy Awards after a ghey rights group uncovered old “homophobic” tweets on his Twitter feed.
Hart confirmed on Twitter.com just after midnight Friday that he was stepping down as host because he didn’t want to be a distraction.
“I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” he tweeted.
Ghey rights group GLAAD reached out to the Oscars broadcaster ABC Network and the Academy to discuss Hart being named to host the Oscars.
GLAAD said it wanted to remind ABC and the Academy of Hart’s “anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and record.”
In a video posted on his Instagram account late Thursday, Hart said the Academy gave him the option of apologizing for his old “homophobic” tweets, mostly dated from 2009-2011, but he politely declined to apologize.
“I chose to pass on the apology. The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times,” Hart said in a video on Instagram.com.
“We feed Internet trolls and we reward ’em. I’m not gonna do it man,” Hart said.
Hart has since deleted most of the old tweets, including this tweet:
“Yo if my son comes home & try’s [sic] 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.'”
In his 2010 special “Seriously Funny,” Hart said “One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay. Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people — do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”
Hart’s fans showed their support for him on Instagram, saying they do not believe he is homophobic.
But there are others on social media who constantly search for reasons to validate their victimhood status.
Hart wrote on Instagram that critics on social media should “stop being negative” about his old tweets.
“I’m almost 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve? I don’t know what to tell you. I love everybody.”

Hart seriously irks me, but what’s wrong with not wanting your son to be gay? Like… what’s the problem here? ??
Like I’ve stated before, the lgbtq community preaches tolerance, but doesn’t practice it. EVERYONE is NOT gonna be receptive to the lifestyle, and that’s ok!! Honestly if I had children, i wouldn’t want them to be gay either!!??
He wasn’t forced.
He chose not to fold to those bullies and said 2 tears and 1 buck it
Random question. But why the spelling of ghey vs gay? What’s the difference.
sorry but i don’t want my son to be gay either.
…..but he politely declined to apologize.
but then he tweets “”I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” he tweeted”
Doesn’t that mean he apologized. i don’t understand.
Get ready for the trolls honey because I said this before and I had to read the shit out of folks…………I agree with Kev 100000000000% and I will never be ashamed for speaking on my son………………Good Luck and Get ready………..
Serves his leprechaun ass right that’s what he gets for insulting Katt a brillant comedian compared to him and Tiffany Hashish. The gay mafia will learn ya with a quickness. Who watches these award shows anyway ,I’ve given up on so many of them.
Thank you. Honestly they knew this before even offering him the position.. This was a slight of hand tactic… It Kills me how the black lgbtq think that swaying that way will supercede their blackness… It wont!! Even in their communities its still you a ni@@a… Its like they are forcing you to accept it!! Do you… but don’t tell me I have to agree with it!!
I said the same thing about my son and all the gay men from near and far had something to say…..Like I told another responder………GET READY FOR THE GAY TROLLS because they are coming for this post……..I have a son and will be damed to be okay with that shit.
I agree with him too!! Thank you darling!!!???
???? ALL OF THIS!!
bye!
This may be the beginning of the end of Kevin’s hollyweird career. That gay mafia out there is no joke. If you say or do anything that doesn’t align with their agenda, they’ll try to destroy you.
Same here, I can’t stand him but I understand not wanting your son to be gay and not having anything against gay people at the same time.
The Oscar ratings get lower every year. Nobody cares! As for Kevin, they will build you up……only to chop you down. ***yawn***. I don’t feel like getting into the cultural narrative when it comes to black comedians and their views on gays. Everything that’s feminine is gay to black men. #Next
To some extent I agree with society views of not wanting your child to be gay, but my reasoning isn’t the normal one. If I had a child the only reason why I wouldn’t want them to be gay is because all the judgment, prejudices, and bulling they will face from society. I wouldn’t want to see my child going through that much pain of dealing with that. I wouldn’t want them to feel like they will loose friends or loved ones because who they are. That is the only reason. But I also wouldn’t want the to hide who they are because of idiots feel the need to worry about what the next person has going on. But if I had a child and they turned out to be gay, in my heart I wouldn’t care, because it’s there mental and emotional well being that is important to me. Them liking the same sex doesn’t change who they are as a person and doesn’t change how they treat people or change me. Idk maybe it doesn’t bother me as much as it bothers society because I have a parent that is gay and a best friend and several friends through her that are gay. So perhaps I’m a bit biased and not on the side of the whole homophobic mentality many have.
First the cowboys and indians backlash now this. One thing that will derail your career is sexual harrassment and saying anything derogatory towards the LGBT community..
This might be a slow beginning to the end of Kevin’s reign.
Some more things will arise soon smh
Great ! He’s annoying AF.
Yup??
Not wanting your kid to be gay is not homophobic! Also just because your kid is gay and you didn’t want them to be does not mean you will love them any less. Once again, the alphabet gang is doing toooo much!
Maybe it’s me but the LQBTGFRWEYWW community is a little too sensitive about EVERYTHING!!!
I’m glad Kevin is getting demolished in the media. He’s a butthole. So yeah let the LGBTQ+ community, Hollywood, and the Native Americans come for his stupid tale. Please tell me y’all heard about his stupid cowboys and Indians party and redskins remark. ????? He’s so stupid
That doesn’t explain how these tweets have existed for a decade and his career took off. The only one of them I took issue with is the AIDS tweet, I feel he had a certain level of celebrity a decade ago that no matter how old it is, it shows a level of ignorance and I don’t think a person changes from.
EVERY heterosexual man feels this way!!!
??????????
Its not homophobic in the least but the actions following that are. Like what he said he would do if he were.
Everyone has a right to believe what they want. I can’t judge him for raising his children how he wants, that’s his right jeesh. People complain about too much!! Why they didn’t say something before…
These are my thoughts EXACTLY!!!
Seeing as how he’s a comedian I really didn’t take it or him seriously. I was speaking more in general. And no I don’t find him funny.
I love Katt too, btw love the name. Saxons or Valley?
???
I didn’t take him seriously either, but he’s in the entertainment industry and at the top of his field and even 10 yrs ago he had a level of success that was building to where he is now. He just should have been more careful. Even if it wasn’t a tweet he would have said this in an interview and that also is saved forever.
What was wrong with what he said? So confused why people can’t have an opinion for their kids or lives. He said what he said.
“…do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.””
——–
He just said what many (or most) parents feel but wouldn’t necessarily say out loud.
The hypocrisy in some of these comments is amazing, imagine for one second had Kevin said “I don’t want my son to date a black woman” what your comments would read? See some people find it okay to demean others because it doesn’t affect them personally, you, your family members or children aren’t gay, so it’s all good. Throwing everything and anyone under the bus that doesn’t touch you personally, then crying foul when it does, is hypocritical. United we stand, divided we fall.
“do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”
——————————
Stand for something Kev.
Ltfh
Pass on the apology. Don’t reward the academy by bowing. Don’t encourage the bs. And remember, they asked you to host. I wasn’t tuning in anyway they flip it , though so I was counting down for this moment of you passing on apologizing for being you. Because that’s all the academy wanted you to do anyway, apologize for being you. They never wanted you to host. Can you sue for discrimination? discrimination based on your sexuality? Religious beliefs ??
Those tweets are old enough for them to have an ulterior motive to ask you to host and then act surprised and demand an apology from you over YOUR personal beliefs.
#EverybodyAintWithThatGayShxt
Right, this was insulting to say as it demeans and really didn’t “NEED” to be said publicly.
Minorities can be dogged, dragged, degraded, despised and considered degenerates yet Jews, and LGBTYED are off limits. FOH
There’s no way they didn’t know about those tweets before they announced him as a host.
Okay Kevin I want my son to be straight as well but also once he is in a committed relationship I want him to be a faithful loving husband whether he has a Napoleonic complex or not. You were not going to be any funnier than Damon Wayans was when he hosted so this is really ultimately for the best. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
This alphabet community is something for the people. If you are not with the program, you are out of there. This organization is nothing more than a mob; a gang. They are almost as ruthless as the bloods and crips. Seriously tho… way out of control.
The Saxons all day
Welcome to the freefall
As much as I dont like Chee-tah Hart I have to agree with him…a successful life is about progression and moving forward to being a better person…Its not fair that his old tweets came to light right after the announcement of him hosting…I wouldn’t apologize either….the only issue I have with this is that LGBT people always want a ribbon for “taking someone down” for their individual beliefs about homosexuality…as an african american since we were born we are perceived as hood, rachet, ghetto, unemployed by other ethic & community groups but no one defends us from old tweets or blackface or other comments yt people may say. Racists still get to host events and even be the President…chile boo….
But see here’s the thing, he still ended up apologizing again for something he apologized for and still isn’t hosting. I don’t think this was the alphabet community more so than it was internet trolls looking to gas a situation. And he went right for the carrot like they thought he would. He could have said I’m sorry just like he did last night when this first started making the rounds and everyone would be talking about something else right now. Like who thought him hosting was a good idea to begin with…lol
Parents need to say it out loud, though. With the various groups of people screaming from the mountaintops how #Great being gay is, parents need to raise their children 2 understand that homosexuality is unnatural and very dangerous. Don’t sit by quietly letting TV and propaganda teach your children perverse behavior isnt perverse because you don’t want to hurt feelings .
If you’re homo, you know your lifestyle isn’t welcomed and will have to continue accepting that reality while enjoying the freedom to engage in it, though.
I’m sure you meant “Welcome to the Block”! I obliged you, lol.
I hear you and to be honest he is painfully funny. Maybe they never wanted him to host from the get go. They gassed him up, just to bust his bubble? For awhile, he’s been feeling himself anyway. Somebody had to bring his ‘lil ass back down to Earth.
This is his first step towards not being a sell out. I’m proud.
So he apologized but still isn’t hosting ?
He’s not funny to me so I’m not moved…
So back to the chitlin circuit with his comedy tours huh?
That’s all I Ever said about my son and they thought they had a weak ass mother that was going to back down. It is never a personal opinion on the gay lifestyle because to each it’s own. I’m just glad that so far so good that mine is about females and I just pray to God it stays that way.
??? me neither
they will build you up……only to chop you down. ***yawn***.
———-
Wys
They need to vet better.
I never liked Kevin Hart but his old closeted a$$ is just another reason not to like him.
The internet wins again…..I dont have a twitter/facebook/instagram…whatever
Its not worth it and it does more harm than good….smarten up and get back to reality
It aint just you…..TRUST ME………….
CORRECTION: But <> on social media ARE CONSTANTLY search for reasons to validate their victimhood status.
I’m sick of this SHAT….GHEYs running the world now….I’m SO GLAD he didn’t apologize to GLAAD….
Hosting the Oscars is a sell out?
Denzel is a sellout because of his two Oscars he accepted?
The gay struggle does not equal the black struggle there is NO comparison
They didnt
Here’s my thing. I don’t care what your thoughts and feelings are towards whether you want your child to be gay or not. Obviously most people would not want their child to be gay because no parent wants their child to go through unnecessary pain and harassment, no? That’s common sense. But why does anyone feel the need to post about it? That’s exactly what’s getting people caught up and flucking with their snatched opportunities out here, because everybody wants to air out their political views, their beliefs, etc. Yeah we get it, “freedom of speech.” Sure, you can say/post/broadcast/believe what you want, but if you have a career in the public eye, chances are somebody out there is not going to ageee with your views. And then you have these organizations out here like GLAAD who preach tolerance, but are not tolerant of those who directly oppose their beliefs. Chile… ?
White people have said the same thing about black people since forever.
The innanet will dig Jesus tweets up if they could.
Glad he didn’t issue a public apology, after he addressed the issue years ago.
The problem is that you accept the judgments and remain silent.
If all whites had felt that way about black people we still would not be full citizens.
And as a mom of a son/daughter……I feel the same way about mine….While I don’t prefer them to be gay……….I will love them no less because of it………….
Kevin is the first comedian to sell out an NFL stadium, he is FAR from the chitlin circuit….FAR from it.
LOL not Jesus!
He already sold out…didn’t you see soul plane
I think she meant a sell out by not apologizing….
He is a comedian!! They talk about everybody and every thing. We can’t take the shyt they say that seriously.
I agree. Talking about that gay stuff is playing with fire. If you say the “wrong” thing, these GayNazi groups will come after you looking to bring you down. It’s almost like a sport to them now.
If I was a comedian I wouldn’t even touch that topic. You never know when somebody will come back trying to use one of your old comments from years ago to try and destroy your career.
he apologized already, years ago????? LGBT Mafia always on somebody neck? like they didnt know of these tweets BEFORE they hired him ? lol Kevin thought he was in there in there ??? humbled that ass quick
Very logical thinking. And I agree 100 percent. This is not about that though. It is really about seeing homosexuality to be as normal as heterosexuality. That is what they want.
Its comedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did issue one late last night or this morning. “I am sorry if I offended anyone…”
Those tweets were from 2009.
This comes with his level of fame. If he was Katt nobody would care but he wants to be the biggest movie star in the world so he has to deal with things like this.
Everyone knew these tweets existed. Its always just a matter of time before they resurface and they did and he opted to become a ill advised hero.
Neither do i and I was introduced to facebook via my college professor.. back when you needed a valid college email to join.. my senior year when they had talks of going public… I was like ohj they opened up the flood gates!! I cancelled … never had a twitter or IG… I guess Im ol skool ..people still call me and text me!!
lol @ ol skool Im 34!
I know it, but since this is his first step towards not being a sellout its just a matter of time.
I don’t care, I don’t care, I would not want my kids to be gay. I’m not sorry.
This is what happened when you are a slave to the industry, those mfs signs your checks, they control you and make you their beetch.
Be your own bosses. Start your own businesses and you won’t have to worry about these bullies. That’s why I support Chick-fil-a and Kirk Cameron.
They did!! Trust me they vett!! everyone..,
Hart said the Academy gave him the option of apologizing for his old
“homophobic” tweets, mostly dated from 2009-2011, but he politely
declined to apologize.
He still declined…The Academy still wanted him to host…A boss move is to say I’m sorry and Fvck you at the same time. Our opinions don’t matter Whyte people thinks he’s funny which is why they asked him….So yeah, I’m not his biggest fan but I can respect how he handled it.
The bottom line is: Kevin Hart is not funny.
hes the only reason i woulda half way watched tbh?????
It is funny how he is being held to a higher standard when he is a comedian and you have some people in political offices who have tweeted and said way worst then him.
Yall got the facts wrong…They asked him to apologize so he could STILL host…he turned it down…that’s not gassing…that’s pressure from GLAAD and because he prolly didn’t want to do it anyway…he declined…unless I read a different post…
He ended up apologizing again what he said he wasn’t going to do and still ain’t got the gig. L
First, this dude is comedian – and if comedians have to be politically correct these days; I weep.
Secondly, these tweets/jokes were from ten years ago; We’re losing jobs from ten year old jokes?
Lastly, where is the offense in wanting your son to grow up and find a nice woman and give you some grandchildren?
He was serious about not wanting his son to be gay and I feel him. Because I don’t want my son or daughter to be gay either!
Who wants their kids to be gay though? If it happens I would accept it, but I wouldn’t want my child to be gay. What’s wrong with thinking that way?
Since we are holding comedians to this standard and digging up things from their past are we going to take this kind of standard in other areas such as different positions and offices.
I guess some people can offend others with their tweets and words and it is not required for them to apologize.
That’s not pressure from GLAAD, that’s pressure from his JOB as an entertainer.
The president can brag about grabbing women by the p*ssy though? backwards world we live in…
I do not like Kevin Hart, but he isn’t wrong. He could have remained the host if he did what they wanted him to do. I am glad he did things his way. People are dying and being arrested for simply breathing while black, but the LGBT wants to protest about an old tweet.
I don’t give a ish what adults do. Hell, I would give up penis for life for Rihanna. (RiRi call me ??) But he said what he said!!!
Sadly it’s becoming like a witch hunt to them. People get these great opportunities such as using their platform to host the Oscars and then BAM old things that you tweeted 10+ years ago are suddenly coming back to bite you in the azz. I can understand the art of comedy and definitely think people can be way too sensitive, but if it were me I’d keep my views strictly in my art and never type my feelings on sensitive issues that have the potential to take away your bread and butter. Smh.
REgardless… HE STILL turned it down….they didn’t withdraw it….THATS THE BIG DIFFERENCE….He could’ve shuckled and jive like your boy Steve Harvey would’ve have done…but he said Fvck yall….and for that, he get’s respect.
Not having the GIG and saying I DON’T WANT THE GIG are 2 different things….do you need some coffee…Wake UP!
Hmmm what I do know is if you are an authentic comedian certain things won’t have as much of an effect. They know Chris is not shucking and jiving but Hart has always been willing. When you shuck and jive to get along you will be scrutinized if anything you say is off script. He will be fine. All he has to do is shuck some more ?
Steve Harvey is no boy of mine, A true boss move would have been to step down as host and offer no apology but the big wigs behind his movies said you will apologize again.
Yes, his opinion was only about his son not anyone else’s.
But he wanted the gig though, do you need some coffee…lol
I’m trying to find the funny in the tweets that are being defended? I’m all for comedians being able to have a certain level of freedom when doing comedy but nothing in those tweets were funny.
HOW TF you know he wanted it???!!! THEY ASKED HIM…HE DIDN”T FILL OUT AN APPLICATION OR AUDITION FOR IT….THEY ASKED BASED ON HIS SUCCESS….STOP TWISTING IT….HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T WANT IT THAT BAD…HE ACCEPTED THEIR INVITATION AND HE TURNED AROUND AND THREW THAT SHAT BACK IN THEIR FACE…. HE DECLINED THEIR OFFER>>>>Kevine don’t need to host the awards to COME UP…HE ALREADY WINNING …that’s why he was invited….
Because he accepted it.
Wow.. people have zero to do with their lives except be the wrong type of police..
Who wouldn’t accept it? Are you INSANE? ITS THE FUKKING ACADEMY AWARDS….accepting doesn’t mean I’ll sell my soul to the devil, accepting doesn’t mean I NEED IT…he is an professional and he accepted a job…saw they were on some BS and threw it back in their face….STOP BEING PETTY
Never thought I’d see the day that I congratulate Kevin Hart on something. Since he has apologized several times already and explained himself and talked about how his views have changed, I think he has a right to say it’s time to let it go. It’s refreshing to see someone in Hollywood refuse to give those standard PR apologies that we know they don’t mean. I’ll take the sincerity over an insincere apology any day.
I just want to know what the rules are when it comes to holding people to their previous words forever. How do they keep it consistent and avoid hypocrisy? A lot of people are acting as if we all don’t know society has changed it’s stance on a lot of things over the years which means the people who make up society have changed their views over the years. If you go back 5-10+ years you’ll see a lot of things that would be labeled offensive today. If you watch reruns of Friends there are a lot of jokes that would be considered homophobic and fat shaming of “Fat Monica” today but no one had a problem with it back them. Should all those writers, directors be banned from working and be made to issue apologies? Netflix just paid 100 million dollars this weeks to keep the rights to Friends. Where was the demand for apologies?
That’s what iII getting at – they set him up. And I ain’t even a fan!!
And being a professional means apologizing when your wrong. He should have just said I was young and stupid and kept it moving.
i’ve heard a million gay jokes. just like comedians joke about fat people and black people and white people and short people and manly women and hairy women. his views haven’t changed and he shouldn’t lie and say they have.
You said it all for me..
Let me say this…A person has every right to express how they feel about the child they brought into this world…If he doesn’t feel good about his child being ghey that’s his business…He didn’t talk about anyone else outside of his own flesh and blood and I don’t see nothing wrong with it…
Very dry humor… If they wanted to point out something let it be the child abuse references ?
That’s not really the bottom line tho…Whyte ppl thinks he’s funny, which is why he was invited. Kevin is the first and only comedian to sell out an NFL stadium…Somebody out there think that he is….and those are the ones writing him those checks…
???
Oscars will be so yt again … Ion watch amyway
Not Jesus’ tweets! ? To the corner NOWWW
It’s so Funny how things you said years ago, or moments ago or last week can always come back to bit you in yo as.
Agreed… but to me I don’t understand why it’s not normal. Things that aren’t normal… is a nervous twitch, sporadic leg movements, going outside completely nude. Those are things that aren’t normal. Someone’s sexual preference shouldn’t be considered not normal. It’s an archaic believe that society and the church has indoctrinated us to believe. But society has evolved from those older beliefs so why can’t we evolve on this one.
Well if he knows who is writing the checks all the more reason to do what?
He used the word f*g. I think that’s the reason they are mad
it might not be funny to you but it might be funny to somebody. most of the comedy i’ve heard involve somebody making fun of somebody or some group of people. i’m not a big comedy person though.
I understand that he’s apologized before so he didn’t feel the need to do it again. The problem was his first post saying he’s grown and if you don’t understand so be it. It came off arrogant TO ME. The second post I’m not apologizing I did that already. He seemed to be offended that they had the audacity to check him. If he had hosted after apologizing they would have nitpicked every word he said anyway. So the third post he’s out and acknowledged hurting people to make sure it doesn’t have an effect on his other money.
and that also lol.
We must also remember that all things do not come back to bite all people Just some people. Just Saying.
You are far from Crazt T (lol) , because I feel the exact same way about mine…….MOFO’s will try to shame you for speaking over the child you created……What pregnant woman rubs her belly saying……….Oh, I just hope my son/daughter will be born so GAY and HAPPY……..FOH…………..
Why you hating on KH so bad? AND you from Philly? What did he ever do to you?
He said he wasn’t going to apologize but ended up apologizing anyway!!
I didn’t see the word f*g in this post although it may be in another. You have a valid point and I get what you’re saying. Me myself I would be a little disappointed but I would love my child through it all no matter what…Every family is different and although we may not agree on certain views we cannot control how a family reacts to a situation like this….
I ain’t hating on Kevin Hart…lol
Karma is a mothasucka and will come one way or another, when you least expect it, whether you like it or not.
RIGHT…people kill me saying he ain’t funny like their Opinion is BOND…humor is subjective…but if you look at the FACTS….and HIS SUCCESS…obviously…someonez find him funny….damn!
? I laughed throughout that corney movie… I was high but yeah
He won’t get set that far back
I don’t think so either, but this was the warning shot…lol
LGBTQ will tell you they can give you grandchildren. They’ve worked that out.
I feel bad that people can’t be great because of she, shim or him. The Gay community is becoming problematic and a red line needs to be drawn. If it’s ok to be gay then it should also be okay not to like the gay agenda. Why is it that that America is becoming the gender bender leader of the world. Homophobia is a myth. God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve,.
I say he acknowledged hurting people to save his future coins.
True. Many parents might accept it if their kids turn out to be gay, but I don’t know too many parents who want their child to be gay. I don’t think what he said was that big a deal… but we know it’s all about political correctness nowadays.
Best comment I’ve read ??
The LGBTUQRSTUV community doesn’t play. I do understand what Kevin is saying. Even if he did apologize it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. They would have kept picking at him.
What a shame. Most of us aren’t the same person we were 10 years ago. We grow. So sad they would deprive this black man a paid gig! Disgusting!
But people would never acknowledge that and if they did they’d be vilified for it.
LOL
I usually agree with you Philly but you riding hard on this ni@@er….like you hate him…LOL
Agered 10000% with you. There is a difference between accepting and not preferring……………
and yet…another installment of…. social media is the devil…..cause they can dig up shyt you said a decade ago and use it against you…..WATCH WHAT YOU PUT OUT THERE FOLKS…..case in point….oh well I don’t watch the Oscars anywho…sooo….
I mean your riding hard like he’s cutting you a check. I don’t hate him, is he my brand of comedian no. Is he funny sometimes yes. My 13 yr old loves him.
I feel Kevin …. do ya thing bew …. Much love https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif Stand in (your) Truth !!!
That’s the point, He hasn’t touched that topic in over 10 years when the Gheynazi weren’t as powerful…to dig up something 10 years ago is what petty …..I digress because I feel a homophobic slur coming on……
Would I be wrong to strongly encourage/suggest/DEMAND heterosexual conceptions from my kids for my future grandkids? lol
Boy Bye…the fact that he was asked means he’s getting BIGGER….if KH never does another stand up routine, he;ll make box office hits (like Eddie Murphy) and will still be winning….
Same!
Stop making sense
The man apologized how many times does he have to apologize!?
Sure he’ll continue to make movies because he issued the apology the movie studios told him to issue last night.
That’s not what happened….
Its absolutely what happened but continue to believe he made a boss move.
Everyone was funny except Kevin
He did say that and he added..Fvckk you job…that’s BOSS…
It is hetero conception. It’s just done in the lab/doc office sometimes.
I wouldn’t give one fawk !!!!!! I Grow …… I evolve ….. who I was yesterday ….. is now a better me today ….. Hold me to my past ….. a bytch or man will stay there …. no new friends no old ….. Only expansion …….Your vessel is your canvas …. what you put out does come back ……be careful who you bump elbows wit is what I say ……. Kevin is standing in his truth to himself … but put it out there ….. Nothing wrong with that …. be yourself …. face that …. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif
Your right.
Karma.
for everything.
Trying to stay under the radar I suppose…it’s bothersome to me too ?
That logic would work if everyone believed in the bible. But everyone doesn’t so they should be allowed to do them. And if they want to form a group to protest against what they think is wrong then more power to them. And it seems to be working. Can’t knock em
No, I mean hetero sex is how conception takes place is what I meant by that. Not in a dish but with a penis spraying the inside of the vagina with the “wiggles”…lol
Not even a Kevin Hart fan but I respect his decision and how he handled the situation. A lot of these social media trolls want to play God with people’s lives. Like Nah.
He was just annoying
I don’t think they get paid for hosting the Oscar’s that’s probably why he doesn’t care.
I understand how you see it. That’s your decision for your child. But what would you tell your daughter if she had troubles like Gab Union?
It probably is a blessing in disguise because he’s not funny at all.
Science has advanced way past that being the only way to conceive
I say karma because he tried so hard to stay safe in his material so he can get this far. He said he doesn’t talk about race and politics on purpose. But this topic came back to bite him. I’m sure he will be ok though.
Wow, and I have thought about that since I had her at 27. I always said that if my daughter had infertility issues and I was young/healthy enough…..I would carry her baby for her free of charge……She is the ONLY female in the world I would do that for…Simply because I pray both my kids get the chance to experience Unconditional Love like I have when they entered my life……I will do whatever I humanly can to assist my daughter to becoming the Woman/Mother I have always dreamed she would be………
Your kidding????????????????????
I felt that love in this statement. ???
Chris Rock is my favorite. He takes risks but he is smart with his material.
I can honestly say I’ve never been a fan and do not find Kevin Hart funny…but I don’t get the backlash. What is wrong with wanting your child to be like you? GLAAD seems to push the theory that sexuality is fluid…which proves someone can be influenced or more plainly “made gay” but like to default to “people are born gay” when it’s convenient. If you ever get big you need to delete all old tweets ASAP with the way the internet is set up now.
How tf do you equate being gay to being black??? Like what in the entire f**** is wrong with you weirdos!? You can hide being a ******t but you can’t hide being BLACK! STFU Forever on this subject!
I’m not his biggest fan…I thought that tour about the bum lip was funny as sh@t, the last one wasn’t that funny to me…I just ride hard for the facts…everything you’re saying is based on pure speculation….
I look at this as bullying if you say anything about LGBTQRSTUV’s they make it impossible for celeb to make a living. They are constantly forcing their lifestyle on us and if you disagree the slightest, the lynch mob comes to hang yo ass. Corny or not let the man live
He did the right thing. They were going to use this as a “teachable” moment and he would have had to do a whole song and dance for them to host a show nobody else wants to host. He has already apologized for the Tweets already and now again, enough. The President of GLAAD did not look pleased this morning she was all I went to sleep and was stunned to wake up to this news. ? She knew they were going to get alot of tranction out of this but Kevin said no, love enjoy. He just better stay prayed up, we know what happens when a black man asserts and affirms himself……
Wow
Where was all this hoopla when he was promoting night school? Or touring? Or any of the other projects he was working on in the 10 years since those tweets were posted? Somehow Kevin is too homophobic to host the Oscars but to make star in lame movies and make corny jokes in other venues? I saw a Facebook status that said that this treatment of KH is less about maintaining integrity for the gays and more about keeping certain ppl out of “elite ” spaces. I would have to agree
Kevin thought he was one of them, they brought him down to reality real quick. What you say on social media will comeback too bite you.
So he didn’t pass on the apology huh? I shall recant my comment then smh.
That was that Unconditional Love I have for them speaking through this keyboard…….I told this to my kids and they were SPEECHLESS………….I looked them both in the eyes (while I had tears in mine) and told each of them that…..I LOVED YOU BEFORE I WAS BORN…………….they hugged me so tight because that’s the moment I think they really understood how SOLID and UNCHANGING my LOVE is for them…………through the good times and bad………..
I am curious, when is someone’s opinion wrong? If he were gay and said he didn’t want his son to be straight would he have experienced the same backlash? I am not being facetious I am just curious.
im lowkey laughing at kevin tho because he really thought he was one of them…pointing his small finger & talking down on Katt like that
At least he stuck to his guns…”I said what I said”
Speculation that he gotta a call from a studio head that said issue the apology come on now.
Oh really well I guess I wasn’t prepared for his corny jokes lol ?. Keep them in line Hollywood me too and the gays
Great observation. They’ve been showing KH for a minute though. There was outrage over his kid’s birthday party theme.
LGBTQRSTUV’s???
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
??
????????????????
Where is the apology from the lbgtqservyzx community for those 2 murderous lesbians who killed those innocent babies. Had someone killed the 2 murderous lesbians they would have been all over it 24/7.
Should have called OJ.
I don’t know if that will work because of the “Way Back Time Machine” that archives everything posted on the internet.
I now respect him more than I did in the past. But I would REALLY respect him if he said the following:
“I will NOT apologize for not wanting my son to have an@l sex with a man. NO responsible, loving father wants that for his son. We live in an era where we are supposed to LIE and pretend we are ok with this, but NO STRAIGHT MAN is ok with the image of his son being rammed in the @ss by a man. I want everyone to live life as they choose, but you will NOT dictate to me how to feel or how to raise my children, just as I will not dictate to you how to raise your own.”
That speech would end his career in Hollywood, but it would spark an HONEST national debate that is long overdue.
Kevin Hart isn’t funny to me, but I respect him for not bowing down to these Hollywood folks.
Wait, Whet….this is the point in an argument where the loser starts to make stuff up with ridiculous comments…I’m going to digress on this whole thing because I’m talking to someone who believes that AFTER they announced he was the host that he would post an public announcement of what they said and how he handled it…like they can’t refute it???? BOY BYE….
girl!!! nothing but truth….

Yes Jenie!!
Good for him! Ion watch that shyt no way! No matter who’s hosting! #movingrightalong
he was out either wey looks like they gave him the option to just “bow out” stead of dropping him. kevin don’t stand a chance against hollyweird and their gheys. fake outrage.
Feelings = homophobia
Feelings + power = r@c!$m
Feelings can be interpreted as a form of bigotry. When you decide to become an entertainer you have to be more aware of what you say, do, and – yes – even your personal feelings. If you don’t want your thoughts, feelings, beliefs censored then you should find another career outside of entertainment.
Lol that little tidbit may also be a factor ?…
That’s exactly how his 1st post felt. I’ve grown,I’m in a good place, too bad y’all don’t understand I’m above all of that. He sidestepped that Native American outrage but he couldn’t get out of this one.
I am glad he didnt apologize and I didnt think he was a good fit for the job anyways.
Lordy, if we all get judged for something we said or done years ago (non criminal) when we were dumb, stupid and young we would all be in trouble!
Sometimes it’s best to keep your feelings and opinions to yourself and stay far, far, far away from social media. It’s the kiss of death for your career/livelihood!
And he would be back at footlocker at the mall before you know it.
Right i mean I don’t like Kevin anyway so i’m cool with him getting his wake up call lol
Why would they it wasn’t the Academy’s issue too handle it was Kevin’s.
People do have rights to opinions. Damn. Wtf.
Love me some Kevin Hart. He was sexy AF.
Exactly. He would have to be so PC.
?
yes he would have, but he said more than he doesn’t want his son to be gay in his tweets. I’m gay and I would prefer my kids not be, its not easy.
He deserves to lose this job cuz had he made those type of jokes about any other group he would be boycotted but the lgbt community is supposed to accept it cuz its his narrow minded opinion? Hell no.
“Joy…Joy…Ms. Reid? Pick up Line 2. It’s Kevin Hart.” ??
Male and female is logic just because you don’t believe in the bible is not a valid answer.If I look betwix my leg when I am naked, I can see female anatomy. I am strictly in to men and anyone who takes offence to me not wanting to munch someones carpet can kick rocks. The sky is Blue somedays. Some people say it’s powder blue but blue ain’t green.The mind devices but the eye will reveal the truth. Don’t let the Gay mafia speak your truth and deceive your mind because they feel like it.
It’ll be interesting to see who they get to replace him. Whoever it is, their twitter record better be squeaky clean. Cuz people WILL be digging now.
Everyone has a right to their opinion. He said he didn’t want his son to be gay. I don’t see anything wrong with that…I think most parents feel the same way…I know my sister cried when her son came out because she was worried about what that meant for his life….it can make life harder for some, especially men.
He didn’t say anything nasty or mean. You cannot lump all of these instances into one category. Don’t feed into society man….it’s ridiculous now a days that it is expected to agree with everyone’s life choices or what they do. I can disagree or not like it all day long & I can put it on my social media if I choose & NO ONE should lose their job because of their opinion as long as they keep it respectful or don’t go after an individual. He did not disrespect anyone. He said he doesn’t want HIS son to be gay…nothing wrong with that.
Some opinions are best kept to yourself, or within a group of like-minded people. Particularly if you are a public person or celebrity. He scorned and denigrated gay people for a laugh. For money. Your gay nephew didn’t deserve to be the butt of Kevin Hart’s joke.
I would have loved this as well. How can society take away ANYONE’S right to feel a certain way? LGBT community & their leaders are wrong for this one. He didn’t say anything mean or nasty..he just voiced his opinion about his child.
I don’t think most of us want to envision our children having ANY sex life. However, consensual sex between adults is supposed to be good and enjoyable. I wouldn’t want my son to feel inhibited by what someone else thinks he should be doing in the privacy of his own bedroom. And by the way, you cannot “raise” a man to not want a finger, penis or other object up his butt. People want what they want. As long as it’s consensual and legal stay out of their way.
Do people still watch the Oscars? That answer could have been posed below, but I’m not sifting through 200 comments about this cretin.
I’m going LOL
You would not be justifying his statement about any other group of people but when it comes to gays its somehow acceptable nah and I would be just as mad had he made anti black comments or sexist remarks its not funny nor acceptable period.
Meanwhile on all the rags the comments are full of comments about racism that would make satan blush. From tmz to any Duchess Megan. All part of the agenda and division folks. Next will be you speaking against morals. Then persecution. Right. Before. Your. Very. Eyes.
Social Media strikes again??
Stop posting your thoughts and life experiences on social media because It ALWAYS comes back to bite you in the a$$???
I guess. I thought that that was what comedy was all about. Making fun of himself, society, shit we deal with, & also of others. Without humor there would be more killings than there already are.
Who he done pissed off now? I was Hollywoods token, Katt tried to tell yall!
Why do the gay community do this? No one has to agree with your lifestyle?
If he said he doesn’t want his son to come out as a dark skin baby because of ‘insert joke’ I would take it as it was meant to be taken a freakin joke & I am a proud dark chocolate woman
Well he’s been anti black woman in the past too, where’s the fuss over that?
Besides he’s been far more offensive in my opinion.
I’m not a fan but you have to respect him for not rendering a faux apology as his masters wanted him to do. No one wants that job so good luck for finding a new host.
But he did, didn’t he?
“I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community…”
The article quoted the apology then said a couple of paragraphs later that he declined the apology.
Am i missing something??
Thank you!
I heard he did apologize on Twitter
This is what Katt Williams was speaking on and it’s why I respect Katt. He doesn’t need commercial success and still sells out arenas.
Kathy griffin said Katt was the first that called her when the industry black balled her over trump.
Shit about to get real for Kevin, but he’s rich .
That still doesn’t make it acceptable I’m sure its some women who would bust a gut laughing at jokes bashing women but its still not funny or mean you won’t pay for it later.
HE APOLOGIZED!!
right!
The protection of queer people really bothers you that much huh? The world is changing, it is no longer ok to use hateful language that is found offensive by a certain group of people. Where has this happened before??? Hopefully you don’t become a public figure someday, because they will be digging up these hateful post of yours as well.
Imagine my best friend and fave cousin are gay and they have both told me they wish they weren’t… So why is it wrong for someone to wish their kid wasn’t??
Katts a way funnier comedian
That’s right Kevin stand ya ground
They been trying to discredit him, I saw something on the news the other day about folks taking offense to his kids birthday party theme, they been sending for him all week… Finally got eem…. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d9121665f5be21eddece5f3af4240324f33d3deece2398e1f29776bb5bf83b07.png
This post is filled with people saying “I’m glad he stood his ground and didn’t apologize.” NEWS FLASH!!! He did apologize in the past and he apologized again, as he should.
Although he did apologize in the past, he needed to apologize again because a lot of people didn’t even know the tweets existed until now and may be offended.
Look people, like it or not, the world is changing. It is attempting to be more inclusive and less hateful, as it should be. If a group of people tell you that things you say are offensive to them, then you should stop, period. There are terms outside of gay slurs that other groups of people find offensive as well and you could lose your job for saying them. This is no different. #period
I’m going to sit that right there….. Preach….
No and so. Clearly you don’t read with understanding, clearly you were just pressed to respond. And I clearly don’t care. I said what I said they bullies and forcing their lifestyle on everybody.
He had refused initially.
I read with plenty of understanding and I read your bigotry loud and clear. #goodday
Yeah, sounds like that after he got the screws put to him.
If every gay comedian who insulted gay people in the past get canceled, there would be no comedians.
“I’m almost 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow,
evolve? I don’t know what to tell you. I love everybody.”
Kevin must have changed, grew and evolved after getting caught cheating on Eniko when she was pregnant last year…….

True, you are correct, but for those of us that have known, from the time “I” was 5, that I was not only black, and a boy but a gay black male, having to live in a world that is against you from day one, it can seem offensive, however, I don’t and can careless what people say or think of me, because I have always delt with some type of discrimination. …. But still I rise, and I’m loved by GOD ….
Top pic – The photographer took this pic at the right/wrong moment.. The guy on the bottom right corner lookin up at K Hart, the way he is lookin at him though! I wonder what he was thinkin?
You are correct! Unfortunately, the current state we live in, everybody gets offended over every freakin thing people say/don’t say and do/don’t do. My lifestyle isn’t hurting anyone and I’m not committing any crimes. I’m one of the few who don’t push my lifestyle in other’s faces and I don’t feel the need for the world to approve of me and mine.
Soooooooo what did he say that was wrong.. No man WANTS his son to be gay …
He’s extremely annoying to me anyway. Slapstick comedy isn’t my cup of tea.
If Kevin were a gay comedian and made this joke about not wanting his son to be straight would there be this much outrage? And when did it become wrong to project your hopes, dreams fears, expectations, and wants onto YOUR children? As soon as you disagree with a certain group’s lifestyle even if you aren’t being disrespectful but just voicing your opinion in today’s society it’s considered ”bigotry” or ”phobia”, how about agree to disagree. For a group who takes such a stance on tolerance and acceptance how about they show some for people with difference of opinions other than theirs….
What made me a bigot. Calling them bullies, truth is truth. Let me guess your apart of the LGBTQRSTUV.
You sound ridiculous calling the bullied, bullies. #juststop
Freedom of speech, is not freedom without critique. Sounds like there needs to be some unlearning on your part. You, just like most of us have been conditioned to view queer people in a certain way. This in turn leads to the many deaths, sucicides and murders of queer people. That whole “I disagree with a lifestyle” comment reduces people to other and makes it something they do, whether than who they are. People are dying, so the language needs to change.
Yea but the kid’s party was Also relatively recent. Kevin made those tweets in 2009. Laugh at my pain, ride along, get hard and a whole lot of other opportunities were there to attack kevin’s platform for being homophobic. Some as early as 2011. But it took a 2018 Oscars gig for this to happen??
Was it Pretendians showering the press w/ faux outrage or actual natives somewhere gave a damn that KH and his kids were playing cops n robbers or whatever ?lol #rhetoricalQuestions
Post some shxt you can stand by. Then let the diggers dig til their feelings hurt again or fingertips raw and bloody from trying to dig up some bs..
I personally would hurt their unpaid feelings about asking me to do a show at cost/TFE & then pull this publicity stunt.. at my expense?.. They would be like “counting down to her lawsuit ‘s service of process beginning at the moment Susan invites her to apologize for her sexuality 5,4,3,2,1: lawsuits here!”
I’m not apologizing I did that already
———————————
Are gays really trying to set out to push their agenda so much so that the society RETURNS to beating/murdering/&silencing them into the shadows again simply because people do not intend on promoting or encouraging homosexuality? People certainly aren’t going to quietly, complacently allow homosexual bullying to go on when people have already made it “ok” for homosexuals to go.about living their homosexuality out without general hatred and physical deterrence of “enjoying ” your lifestyle choice directed towards them..
Gays better keep that shxt in check because it certainly isn’t a homo-world
I have not been conditioned to view any one in any kind of way as I have always been a free thinker. There are alot of people who do not condone the gay lifestyle, just like there are people who don’t like interracial dating, or prefer to not date dark skin/ light skin people, what have you. Does it make it right, no, but it is that person’s RIGHT to feel how they feel. If a person doesnt agree with the gay lifestyle whether it be due to their religious beliefs or personal preference then that is their choice and right. As long as they are respectful and not infringing their beliefs onto others then it is their RIGHT. The LGBTQ community does the exact thing they claim to be against which is try to bully people into submission. If you don’t agree with their lifestyle innany capacity then you are crucified and publicy shamed and that is wrong and hypocritical. You can oppose the gay lifestyle respectfully and it doesn’t make you a bigot or homophobic. In my faith, homosexuality is a sin. Just like you don’t choose being gay I didn’t choose my religion, so why is your way of life to be more valid or of more importance than mine? I also happen to have a gay brother and a gay neice. Do I agree with their lifestyle, no. Do I disrespect them in anyway, no. Do they have the right to tell me what I am supposed to accept and or agree with, no. We happen to co-exist but have differences of opinion. I don’t push my beliefs on them and they don’t push their beliefs on me because it’s a mutual respect. True story, my neice and her partner were recently married and had a beautiful beach ceremony. I paid for half of the wedding which I was not entitled to do but no one else stepped up. Did I attend no, due to my personal beliefs but I helped her have her dream wedding and can still love my neice and not agree with her lifestyle.
He’s not. I just saw where 3 white women got together and the female doctor impregnated one’s egg w/ some random man’s semen then transferred that fertilized, semi-gestated egg into the other woman’s uterus for her to give birth to. They all convinced themselves that two women had a baby without a man
Allow me to reiterate, people are dying!! Kevin Hart’s “joke” about hitting his kid over the head with a dollhouse was a joke in bad taste. Some parents in America have literally killed their own children for being gay. Using rhetoric that reinforces this behavior is problematic and insights violence to queer people. As a racist white man once said “I like you black people, but I don’t agree with you living in my neighborhood”. You can’t agree or disagree with who somebody is. Being gay is not equivalent to putting on a shirt you put on and taking off.
Good!!! Kevin said, They Not going to Bill Cosby me. We are Not Our Ancestors. Yet, They Never Apologized to Blacks for Brutal words and treatment over 400 or More years. Always telling us to get over it, that was long time ago. Hypocrites!!!
Freedom of Speech still exists?If a certain group of people is offend by someone’s comments then don’t support them .?????
Okay ,they have Preachers afraid to say bring gay is wrong .
Freedom of speech, is not freedom without critique, which is why he won’t be hosting the Oscar’s.
Unfortunately, Sandra is not providing all the details pertaining to Kevin Hart’s comments. He made NUMEROUS comments using homophobic slurs. This isn’t about one comment he made regarding his son. The numerous comments in question are considered highly offensive by many and he is a public fugure…this stuff isn’t rocket science.
Oh, please. I am a lesbian and I was not offended by his jokes because he’s a comedian. Maybe if gheys weren’t so uptight they wouldn’t get offended by everything people say.
Sandra, I’m gay and I wasn’t personally offended. However, we do not represent the entirety of the LGBT community. You can’t discredit how others feel. Many people were offended. The end. And like I mentioned in my original comment…your post ignores the many, many comments Kevin Hart made using highly offensive homophobic slurs. But I guess you’re just catering to the majority of your site’s demographic.
GLAAD is annoying! Can’t support them. I don’t like Kevin Hart but he’s a comedian. Get over it.
It’s sad that Kevin will be missing a perfectly good opportunity bcuz of his own beliefs… I’m sorry but GLAAD is so annoying… It’s like they REALLY dig deep to find any comment or action that is the slightest homophobic and run with it… and could be from 20 yrs ago!… Anything to stop someone else’s shine!…Smdh
Unless the dad is gay lol
Bingo!
White male analysts are finally publicly discussing that they “have ran out of not only qualified workers, but workers in general!”
10 (or more) years ago they were discussing how robots would be taking jobs… now they need robots to do the jobs because they don’t have qualified staff.
You see the lack of staff and effects of it in examples like nurses injecting patients with the wrong meds because they couldn’t read the chart properly or banks that can not operate smoothly for the average consumer, nail techs attacking customers who complain the nail service was done right…etc.. from top to bottom areas of the marketplace (CEOS of large companies who hire sex slaves instead of qualified personnel)….think of the long term effects of them running out of qualified staff to operate their businesses, that we patronize

You have my support…be you and be love. Truth is, gay, straight, pretty or ugly someone will always find a flaw. Why bother to change their mind, it’s their loss for missing out on a cool you, live on and let God!
Much love my sister in Christ…..Thank you so much…
lol, I was being Sarcastic…………but thanks for the example tho..
That doesn’t make be a bigot. See definition below
BIGOT: person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
So if anyone is a bigot you are based on the definition.
