Kevin Hart has announced he is stepping down as host of next year’s Oscars ceremony following an outcry over perceived homophobic comments and tweets from the comedian.

 

On Friday Hart posted an apology to the LGBTQ community on Twitter for his past “insensitive words” and confirmed he would not take on the gig, so as not to be a “distraction”.

 

“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscars,” wrote Hart, who as well as his stand-up work is the star of films like Ride Along and Jumanji.

 

“This is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists.

Ah yes, the woke libz eating themselves alive once again & going on a Twitter rampage against a black comedian for making trashy jokes. 

 

I swear man there is nothing liberals wont trash in their merciless effort to apply their brand of "Social Justice" on people. 

 

Good job liberals... good job.

Practically everyone will reject the part because they all have something they are not proud of and you better bet that something will be brought to light. Gonna be interesting where they find a Pollyanna or Snow White now days.

Well, he just moved up a few notches in my book. Good on him for not apologizing.

Maybe they should get a woman as host this time to continue the #metoo ride.  Neverending story .
