Kevin Heart Address Some 'Old' Homophobic Tweets

Kevin Hart is firing back at critics who think he's unfit to host the Oscars due to old tweets that were extremely homophobic.

Kevin says in an Instagram video, the hateful response to his old tweets illustrates just how PC-crazy our world has become, and he says he's not going to let the haters bring him down.

Kevin states in the video that he's approaching 40 and it's stupid for people to think his views haven't evolved. Basically, he's claiming he's more mature than he was when he was gay-bashing on Twitter.

The Academy announced this week that Kevin would host next year's Oscars, and the backlash began almost immediately.
