Hart’s homophobic tweets have divided the entertainment industry and are bringing out some of the worst toxic masculinity from comedians on social media. Though Hart has apologized, it is something that many will remember for long, specifically the LGBTQ community.

And I fucking love Wreck it Ralph!!!‍ https://t.co/6cHA1EQEkg

GLAAD CEO/president Sarah Kate Ellis told the media,

“We were hoping this was going to turn into a teachable moment that Kevin Hart would still be hosting the Oscars and he would be using this moment to show, not only his evolution around the LGBTQ community, but also to then use the Oscar stage to help build unity and awareness around the LGBTQ community and how we are marginalized in this country.”

Kevin has received support not only from Nick but also from other famous celebrities like Cedric the Entertainer and DL Hughley as well. In one of his tweets, DL said,

Kevin receiving this kind of support is seen as a sign of aggression among the men involved in show-biz and has received a huge backlash. Kevin Hart is definitely in hot waters right now but only time will tell what it has in store for the actor-comedian’s future.
