When you are winning there are people who will be ready to bring you down and that is just exactly what happened to the Popular Comedian Kevin Hart.
A tweet that should have been dead and buried has land him in trouble and not even once or twice but he says he has had to explain his case over and over again.
How can a tweet from 9 years ago surface just after he was announced as the 2019 Oscars Host? Seems like a pre planned strategy to kill his dream.
Something he says he has been wishing for a very long time. Kevin Hart believed that the time would come and when it did; it now seems ruined since the Academy is yet to react to his remarks after he was given an ultimatum to apologize.
In his tweet from years ago, Kevin Hart shows his distaste for homosexuality; “Yo if my son comes home and tries to play with my daughter doll house.I am going to break it over his head and say in my voice “stop that’s gay” reads tweet
Yahoo Entertainment records a joke that the Comedian once told.
In Hart’s 2010 comedy special Seriously Funny, he did a bit that had him saying that his “biggest fear” was his son “growing up and being gay.”
He said, “Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic. I have nothing against gay people. Be happy. Do what you want to do. But me, as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”
He then launched into stories about his son, then 3, having his first gay moment with a friend and how he needed to “nip it in the bud” by screaming at him, “Stop, that’s gay!” Hart has since spoken about the joke, telling Rolling Stone in 2015 that it was really about his “own insecurities” as a parent, again reiterating he’s not homophobic and saying he “wouldn’t tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren’t as sensitive as they are now.”
Even with this clarification and the fact that he set the record straight, this was part of the heated debate that was unleashed yesterday.
Kevin Hart says that people are always looking for the negative side and he will not be addressing the same issue over and over again.
Here is the tweet that landed him in trouble.

Following this online heated argument, Kevin Hart this morning announced that he has stepped down and regardless, to the Academy, he is thankful for the opportunity, if it goes away, no harm, no foul.
How does everyone get so offended by things said nearly ten year ago. At this rate the whole freedom of speech and having your own opinion is being crushed by people whom wish to feel like everyone owes them some sort of apology. Life goes on.

Do you think the Academy will be right to deny Kevin Hart to be the host based on his old tweets?
