Kevin Hart's homophobic tweets slammed by prominent Hollywood actors as he steps down as Oscars host

In the wake of the resurfaced tweets, Hart is now probably the most hated comedian as he has been compelled to step down from the Academy Awards
UPDATED DEC 7, 2018

Hollywood is making its disappointment clear and making sure actor Kevin Hart hears it as well. The actor seemed quite unapologetic about a tweet he made in the past where the 'Night School' star had abused gay relations, women, and had come up with unsuitable comments for many such sensitive issues. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who is among the league of actors who are now slamming the comedian, refused to accept the apparent "positivity" that Hart had mentioned in a statement once the tweet resurfaced. 

Taking to Twitter the actress had stated, "Homophobia is not positivity", in response to Hart's statement, "I work hard on a daily basis to spread positivity to all." Curtis was followed by actor and comedian Billy Eichner who declared, "I’m beginning to think I may not be in Night School 2.”
