Kevin Hart said that he was regretful after saying words from his previously apology was “chopped up,” as per The Hollywood Reporter. “I will say this, and I want to make this very clear,” Hart said. “Once again, Kevin Hart apologizes for his remarks that hurt members of the LGBTQ community. I apologize.”
He also joked about disagreement during the segment. “I want to say that I have no problem with gay people. I don’t have a homophobic bone in my body. I want you to be happy, be gay, be happy.’ And then I say as a heterosexual male, if I can do something to stop my son … that’s where the joke starts!”
“The only clip that I have seen all over the media is the one where I go, ‘stop! That’s gay.’”
