Kevin Hart has decided to step down as Oscar host for the 91st Oscars, saying he did not want to “be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists.” He also offered up an apology so many had asked before, “I sincerely apologise to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words of the past.”
I’m sorry that I hurt people… I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again.
