Kevin Hart issued another half-hearted apology on his radio show for his homophobic tweets. This time he did it in the third person.
Hart said that his words were chopped up in previous apologies on his Sirius XM show Straight from the Hart.
I will say this, and I want to make this very clear, he said. Once again, Kevin Hart apologizes for his remarks that hurt members of the LGBTQ community. I apologize.
Hart was announced to host the Oscars last month, but homophobic tweets surfaced after that announcement. In one tweet, he said he would hurt his son if he turned out to be gay: Yo if my son comes home & trys 2 play with my daughters doll house Im going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice stop thats gay.
In others, he used the words fag and gay pejoratively, referring to actor Dwayne L. Brown as a fat fag and actor Damien Wayans as a gay bill board for AIDS.

(53,921 posts)A judge unsealed grand jury transcripts earlier this week in a case about the death of a 10-year-old boy whose parents allegedly tortured and killed him after he came out.
Earlier this year, Anthony Avalos died after what investigators described as years of torture at the hands of his mother, Heather Barron, and her boyfriend, Kareem Leiva.
The director of the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) said that Anthony had said he liked boys in the weeks leading up to his death.
The prosecutions case involves both physical evidence and witness testimony. Assistant district attorney Jonathan Hatami told the grand jury about the coroners report, which found injuries all over Anthonys body.
There were injuries to Anthonys side and his hip area, both his left hip and his right hip, and his arms, and even injuries to his feet, Hatami said. There were also abrasions to his knees, circular marks on his stomach and torso, and bruises on his face, and blunt force trauma to Anthonys brain and his body.
