Topic	Kevin Hart did not apologize for the hurtful comments until now.
Wetterdew 12/09/18 5:51:06 AM #1:	If you're tired of hearing about this, you don't have to read the topic. I'm only posting this because of the misinformation that people have been spreading. People have been claiming that Kevin Hart already apologized for the hurtful comments he made on twitter and in comedy routines like these back in 2010: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtreZt4XgAI5xV9.jpg?format=jpg&name=orig https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtreiScWoAEbF8s.jpg?format=jpg&name=orig https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtreQyUW4AcosDT.jpg?format=jpg&name=orig https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtnhxvGXgAIDZhI.jpg?format=jpg&name=orig There are a lot of homophobic tweets he made but those are just a few of them Earlier this week Kevin claimed he'd "already addressed" his previous homophobia and that he was a different person now. People took this to mean that he had apologized for it and that he isn't that kind of person any more. The interview where he "addressed it" was conducted in 2015 with a reporter from Rolling Stone magazine. Here is a part of that interview: I'd never apologize for what was never intended to be disrespectful--I'd never allow the public to win for something I know wasn't malicious. I think people take things so seriously--you send out a tweet, and I'm not apologizing for that. You're ignorant for thinking I'd have any ill will. I will not defend ignorance. What I will defend is a point of view. Those are two different things. If I'm talking to you through my lens, my point of view, this is my version of what I see and how I see it. You have the choice to say I don't like his POV or I like it. And then you turn your back or you continue to talk about it. Showing that not only did he not apologize, he explicitly said he'd refuse to apologize because he didn't view his comments as disrespectful, and you're ignorant if you think they were. In that interview, he also claimed that he wouldn't tell the joke today, not because it's hurtful but because of the potential blowback. You can read more of it in these tweets from the interviewer: https://twitter.com/jonahweiner/status/1070494134924767234 After being declared the Oscars host, Kevin Hart was asked to apologize for the hurtful comments, to which he posted indignant replies on social media claiming that he'd already addressed it and we should move on (in other words, get off my back already, I'm not gonna apologize) Finally after stepping down (who knows if he chose to or if the academy told him to) he posted a real apology on his twitter, maybe because his publicist wanted to damage control or maybe he actually is sorry now. So please stop spreading the narrative that Kevin Hart apologized and was targeted anyway. Kevin Hart was never sorry for his comments, and even now is probably only sorry that he got called out. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:913812187] in Kevin Hart...
