Kevin Hart on Wednesday said he?s done addressing his past anti-LGBTQ comments and stated definitively that he will not host the Academy Awards ceremony this year.
The 39-year-old comedian?s past homophobic jokes and tweets were drawn back into the spotlight last month after he was named this year?s Oscars emcee. Following backlash and pressure from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Hart apologized to the LBGTQ community for his ?insensitive words.?
Asked about the controversy during an interview with ABC?s ?Good Morning America? on Wednesday, Hart refused to elaborate further on his apology or how he may have evolved in the years since tweeting homophobic comments.
?I?m done with it,? Hart told host Michael Strahan. ?It gets no more energy from me. ... There?s no more conversation about it. I?m literally over that. I?m over the moment. And I?m about today.?
He continued: ?I have explained how I?ve evolved, which makes me say, ?I?m over it.? I?m not saying how I?ve changed any more. ... I?m not giving no more explanation of who I am. I?ve done it. ... You will not hear me saying anything else about it.?
