Being insensitive can hurt you in the long and short run!
This past weekend a lot of controversy surrounded larger than life comedian Kevin Hart.
On Friday it was announced that Kevin Hart would be the host of the 91st Academy awards. Of course it was to be an distinguished honor for Kevin Hart, and his list of accomplishments.
However that suddenly changed after someone recovered old tweets that was thought to be buried over eight years ago. The comedian in the past has apologized for the tweets, and wanted to move forward with his life.
His hosting assignment was cut short after Kevin refused to apologize once again for his homophobic comments in the past. The Oscars gave Hart an ultimatum to either apologize or step down from hosting.
Comedians such as Tony Rock, and Nick Cannon have come to the aid of Kevin Hart.
I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's….this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.
