Fox News: Kevin Hart Steps Down as Oscars Host After Controversial Tweets Surface

‘He came under fire after some controversial tweets surfaced from years ago’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "We’re less than three months away from the Oscars and the Academy finds itself still without a host after Hart stepped down early this morning. It all stems from tweets the comedian wrote between 2009 and 2011. In one of them that's since he wrote about breaking his daughter’s dollhouse over his son’s head if his son ever tried to play with it, calling the behavior 'gay.' In his 2010 stand-up special titled 'Seriously Funny,' he said one of his biggest fears is his son might grow up to be gay. Hart says the Academy gave him a choice to either apologize or that it would find another host. Hart said he passed on the apology."
