KEVIN HART
Actor-comedian steps down as Oscars host
1 Hart stepped down and said sorry late on Thursday, just two days after being picked as the Academy Awards presenter, following an outcry over past homophobic tweets
2 He said he was pulling out because he didn’t want to be a distraction. “I sincerely apologise to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” he wrote on Twitter
3 In 2011, Hart wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.’”
