Those statements do not count as an apology though, as they do not address that those past-comments were wrong. He had said he wouldn’t make jokes about LGBT+ people anymore and said it was “too dangerous” to make jokes about gay people in 2014. I’m not that guy.īut here’s the problem, Vulture investigated Hart's claim and couldn’t find evidence he had apologised before his comments resurfaced. I don’t want to have to have this conversation anymore because I know who I am.
I would much rather say I’m sorry again and walk away because I want to be done with the conversation.
I just said I’m going to walk away because I felt like it was a conversation that was just going to continue and continue and continue. On The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, Hart spoke again about his decision to step down as Oscar host and listed examples which he believed showed he'd apologised for his comments. When he was asked to apologise to the LGBT+ community or step-down as the host of the event, Hart refused, claiming he had already addressed the issue. In tweets between 20, Hart repeatedly used “gay” as a slur and, in a 2010 stand-up show, he told jokes about trying to stop his son being gay. Kevin Hart was dropped from the Oscars for previous homophobic comments.
