Kevin Hart Discusses Backlash to His Old Tweets On GMA: ‘I’m Over It’

Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart stopped by ABC's Good Morning America to discuss the controversy surrounding his old anti-gay remarks with host Michael Strahan. Hart told Strahan, "I'm done with it. It gets no more energy from me."

Hart said he addressed the issue for "the last time" on his Podcast show "Straight from the Hart" on Saturday. "There's no more conversation about it," he added. "Literally I'm over that. I'm over the moment. I'm about today. So, if it's accepted great, if it's not it's nothing I can control."

He continued: "Some things are left out of your hands. So I'm done with it. I'm over it."

Strahan challenged Hart to explain how he evolved since the controversy erupted.

"I... have... explained how I've evolved, which makes me say I'm over it," Hart laughed.

The Night School star said he wouldn't go into detail about how he has evolved. He said he's apologized several times on Twitter.com, on his radio show and on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"So it comes to a point where you know that you've given all that you possibly can. And.. if that's - if that's received then great: we've achieved something. If it's not - it's not as... there's nothing I can do."

Michael Strahan, Kevin Hart

He continued: "I have an understanding that I've addressed it, and I've said everything that I can possibly say, so I'm over it... You'll not hear me say anything else about it."

Hart confirmed that he is not hosting the Oscar Awards telecast in February.

"I'm not going to host the Oscars this year. Right now, from a time perspective, I don't have the time.

"It's not in God's plan right now."

Hart declined repeated requests from CNN anchorman Don Lemon to appear on his show when they talked by phone and via text over the weekend.

On Friday, Lemon, who is openly ghey, vented his frustration at Hart and DeGeneres, who called Hart's critics in the LGBT community "haters".

Lemon said he asked Hart to be an ally to the LGBT community to help change homophobic attitudes in the Black community.

After speaking with Lemon, Hart said on his radio show that it was not his "life dream" to be an ally for the LGBT community.

    The reason why he won't stop is because deep down inside, he want to host the Oscars. He stated that this was his lifelong dream.

  • BaybeK8s

    It seems like every time Kevin has what may be a successful movie coming out, there's scandal? ?????

  • ZRoJoTheLezBeyond

    I'm right there with you 100%. I'm not in his shoes but I'm over it right along with him. His response is exactly what I would've said as well. Not discussing this s**t anymore! Neeeeeeext!

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    He should have been over it since last month. We're all tired of this story.

  • Renee26

    ? at those still shots of Kevin

  • Ang

    I saw the interview this morning. I think Michael was trying to give Kevin a chance to put it to rest in a more professional manner than he’s been doing lately but Kevin is too immature and arrogant to see it. Kevin needs a publicist (or a better one if he already has one). All he had to say to Michael was “I told a joke in poor taste years ago, I’ve apologized, I haven’t done it sense so I’m moving on now let’s talk about the movie I’m here to talk about.” Kevin makes himself look worse by the way he talks about things. He acts like a high school kid who just got in with the popular crowd and doesn’t know how to act now. But, I’m over this topic. It was a joke. If people actually thought he would actually physically harm his child because of those jokes then there’s probably nothing that will convince them otherwise. Those people probably haven’t been around a lot of black parents who will joke about beating you behind for x,y,z but we know they never would. Time to move on from this. Too bad we never will because Kevin doesn’t know how to handle the career he chose like a grown up.

  • Blak

    I am so over this; why do people care so damn much that he doesn't want to be an gay rights activist? He is not that funny, is highly overrated and is incredibly two faced so let's hope people are seeing this and continue to lose interest in this loser

  • Karen Brady

    Ugh... this again... or stilll....

  • justlooking

    You mean you saw the interview?

    I aint sorry I wasnt at thebgate in this one.

  • Karen Brady

    :-) :-) :-) "and puzzy poppin".. Tears are seriously filling my eyes.

  • KcoolMuziq
  • justlooking

    Many of us were and thank God it stopped there. Glory!!! GRACE AND MERCY

  • Ni Ni

    No, i didnt see the interview. But, it has been posted on other blogs before.

  • Itzgoingdown2

    Right, that's LaDonna's agenda and fantasy.... (Boy's like Kevin's son walking around dressing and acting like little girls). LaDonna only cares about gheys and pushing an EXTREMIST liberal ideology even if some of that ideology is not in the best interest of the Black Community. LaDonna has no Black Agenda

  • Ronnie Hill

    This on just stupid, not funny!

  • Karen Brady

    :-). :-). EXACTLY why I hate taking pics

  • Karen Brady

    Kevin is like "Are you slow Michael Strahan??!!"

  • Renee26

    They caught him off guard and it's hilarious...his faces and that tight suit SMH

  • SweetTEE

    I'm over it too. He said what he said and apparently he meant it.

  • Parent

    Why am I dying at Kevin's face in those shots? lol He looks crazy as hell! lol Thanks for the laugh I desperately needed this morning Sandra!

    Hope everyone is doing okay! I'm having one hell of a week.

  • Karen Brady

    Suffocating suit girl! LOLL

  • Parent

    I'm crying!

  • Parent

    I think Sandra specifically chose those to amuse us. She such a good Auntie!

  • Eileen

    LEAVE THIS BLACK MAN ALONE homosexuals, sissies trans, and any other alphabet people!!! Hollywierd doesnt like BLACK MEN that want to be men instead of shovels and back breakers for a sex act that should NEVER have left the bedroom!!! Homos Hear me out if you want to be with men go ahead but don't bring me or children into accepting this! I would not ever demean or hurt anyone of the alphabet people I would not bully you so why are you bullying Kevin!? LEAVE HIM ALONE! What if I tok you to a JESUS Camp/!

  • cherrypie

    I actually like Kevin Hart. He's not the funniest comedian but he is silly and I like his humor. I'll always root for the black man. He's well spoken and handled this interview well but I agree he addressed this situation way more times than he needed to. Time to move on. Who even watches the Oscars anyway????? Btw, while I support him, more than likely I wont be seeing his new movie until it comes on my android box for free if I ever watch it. Looks stupid

  • Parent

    Yes big ole nasty self. Remind of me of Monique in Precious.

  • hottlanta

    I saw the interview this morning n l must say thé lil fella impressed me

  • Eileen

    it certanly is not a cause for black folks lgbt??? is not our battle or fight!

  • EasyBreezy

    *searching feverishly for a YAWN emoji* Why in the heck are we still talking about this?

  • hottlanta

    If he was larry on fries they wouldnt ask him 2 b an ally.

  • Pamela

    Glad I'm not your friend, you have bad taste in movies. I would have given you the side eye as a friend .

  • CPA

    I think it looks good. We don’t have to agree. Chill

  • Pamela

    Okay

  • Mr.LeBrickJames

    I don't defend him at all. There are millions of people who were sexually abused as children who DON'T grow up to be predators.

  • VernadineTheQueen?

    KEVIN HART IS NOT CUTE & WE ARE OVER IT TOO!! HE STARTING TO SEE HIW THEY WILL PUT YOU HIGH ONLY FOR YOU TO COME TUMBLING DOWN!!

  • Yoni7

    All he had to say to Michael was “let’s talk about the movie I’m here to talk about.”
    _________
    PERIOD! Otherwise, cut me my check for THIS segment and I'm OUT!

  • Toppsey Krets

    Dave Chappele, Kevin Hart, Wesley Snipes, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, R Kelly, Bill Cosby etc etc.

    MEDIA LYNCHINGS OF THE BLACK MAN

  • Yoni7

    Not discussing this s**t anymore! Now pay me.

  • justlooking

    One blog fills my guilty pleasure. Lord and I cant handle all that mess.

  • Ni Ni

    Lol

  • Harley

    Where is this energy for the white comedians who joked about the gay community?

  • Bashi22

    They re-writing our history in a social media engineer way. I will not jump on any ones bandwagon

  • Bashi22

    Exactly

  • Alicia.Ashe

    I’m tired of hearing, reading and seeing this anywhere.

  • ZRoJoTheLezBeyond

    Right though?!

    Kev needs to start pullin a James Harden on they a**es next time they ask him about this ish again.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/65bbb0d895c2217e189213eb3834a12297ad5c2ed924ec39ac979c3e79e4e8ae.gif

  • Logan Roberts

    ?

  • A D N

    How can KH become an ally for a lifestyle he doesn't believe in? That would be superficial. I respect Kevin for that stance. What KH doesn't get is the subject is fresh and he's promoting a movie so the topic will come up because everyone doesn't receive their information from the same source. He shouldn't have that type of response, for now, to the question.

  • Mama Dee’s Wig Maker
  • Altairm Nova

    I think he has done that several times already. To keep feeding it and not getting over it is immature. It's time to move on from it. He's apologized now let it go and let him be.

  • Altairm Nova

    Seriously LOL

  • Ang

    That’s basically what I said.

  • currvalicious

    If he's "over it", stop talking about it. Morning shows, late night shows, twitter, IG, wherever. Just shut ur damn mouth.

  • currvalicious

    EXACTLY....when they are ready to be over you, that's it.

  • HRH_DORIT

    Are there are no LGBT black people who might need a hero or a helping hand??

  • Eileen

    Yes and his name is JESUS!

  • the guest

    THIS.

  • the guest

    Yes, Kevin Hart can benefit greatly from learning to be more couth.
