Comedian Keven Hart has now expressed regret for how he handled the controversy last year in which he got booted from hosting the Oscars after members of the LGBTQ community resurfaced several offensive tweets and jokes he made years earlier.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new Netflix documentary series, “Kevin Hart: Don’t F**k This Up,” will explore how the comedian disregarded the advice of his publicists and other members of his team, leading him to eventually conclude that he was acting “immature.”
“What I thought that was going to do, it did not do. The complete opposite happened.”
Looking back at the controversy, Hart explains, “what I thought it was it wasn’t, and my approach to dealing with it because of the assumption that I had is just wrong.” After speaking with close friends and taking time to reflect, the comedian admitted that he “missed an opportunity.”
“I missed an opportunity to say simply that I don’t condone any type of violence in any way, shape or form to anyone for being who they are. I f—ed up…. Instead I said, ‘I addressed it.’ I said, ‘I apologized.’ I said, ‘I talked about this already.’ I was just immature.”
