Why apologize in the very tweet where he announces that he stepped down because he didn't want to apologize?

Damn shame too.Tonight was the first time he has ever apologized for it. His defenders are supporting homophobia. It sure makes the black vs. gay divide even deeper, unfortunately.

BingoFirst response was how he really feels.
Second response was him doing what his reps told him to do to hopefully not get blowback on his career.

More people were upset that Gunn was fired, not at his old tweets. And Gunn had already apologized for his old tweets prior to the alt right bringing them back up and we saw him grow and change.
The situations are not the same. And Kevin Hart's next big film is a children's cartoon where the other lead actor was already fired for sexual harassment allegations.
I don't know if Kevin's telling the truth but he said he's apologized in the past about it and people can look that up too so who knows really. I get the whole "people can change" thing and I believe it, even earlier in the thread I was one of the people saying he's changed but with that said he's gotta at least apologize and you gotta mean it from the heart. Change starts from within. If he apologized and has changed then I personally can say "ok, well that's what you're supposed to do."
But if someone doesn't apologize nor do they change, like say they make a blanket statement, idk. Either way it just boils down to if people think he's changed or not and also if you can take his word.
I'll take his word for it but if people don't want to I 100% completely understand why they wouldn't and think he hasn't changed and/or apologized. Same thing for if people got on me for when I was younger and I said something harmful to others. Even if I changed from how I used to be at the end of the day I said that so you gotta live with it. Same thing for this dude in school who called me a "nigger" in class. Yeah he said he's changed and I believe him but at the same time my homie doesn't.
Discussing this bit today, Hart says, "It's about my fear. I'm thinking about what I did as a dad, did I do something wrong, and if I did, what was it? Not that I'm not gonna love my son or think about him any differently. The funny thing within that joke is it's me getting mad at my son because of my own insecurities — I panicked. It has nothing to do with him, it's about me. That's the difference between bringing a joke across that's well thought-out and saying something just to ruffle feathers." Even so, he adds, "I wouldn't tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren't as sensitive as they are now. I think we love to make big deals out of things that aren't necessarily big deals, because we can. These things become public spectacles. So why set yourself up for failure?"
I'm honestly shocked celebrities haven't started a mass twitter deletion at this point.
Lol, pathetic. "Sorry you're mad," basically. I wouldn't mind watching his career suffer for this.
His only apology for it occurred tonight, and only because his career was threatened.You telling me the academy wasn't aware of the stand up that pretty much brought him to light, even with it being covered several times in different publications? Of course they did. Why ask for an apology now?
The problem is that people who aren't familiar with his work, and don't like him enough to watch any of his stuff have caught wind of it and feel angry because they haven't been explicitly shown an apology.
It's not a hidden tweet, it's part of an 8 year old stand up which has been on Netflix for as long as I remember. It has been brought up in a Rolling Stones interview with him. The guy is one of the biggest comedians in the world, with several kids films on his track record. I'd be surprised if he hadn't apologised at some point during the several times it has been brought up outside of the last couple of days. But I'm just a random posting on a message board, what would I know?
I hope that's not the apology he was speaking about because if so then nah bruh that's not gonna cut it.
All he had to do was apologize and say that he has changed and feels embarrassed by his old tweets.
Literally all he had to do.
I can't remember the last time I have seen such a self inflicted wound. The epitome of toxic masculinity.
What was the point of his non-apology on Instagram post when he apologized later on Twitter?
His PR handlers got hold of his Twitter account and are running damage control.What was the point of his non-apology on Instagram post when he apologized later on Twitter?
His apology on Twitter doesn't seem genuine at all.What was the point of his non-apology on Instagram post when he apologized later on Twitter?
Because the Twitter posts are PR cleanup. The Instagram shit was his real feelings. He didn't "step down", he was fired, and he's trying to save face.What was the point of his non-apology on Instagram post when he apologized later on Twitter?
Nailed it. Fuck that non apology.First response was how he really feels.
Second response was him doing what his reps told him to do to hopefully not get blowback on his career.
Just a gut feeling, but I think he probably didn't want the Oscars hosting job to begin with.
It's kind of a crappy gig -- high risk, low reward. Nobody's career has ever really been improved by hosting Oscars. At worst the show goes poorly at the host gets blamed. At best the show is fine (but long and boring) and the host receives no acclaim.
So who's right for the job? Kevin Hart is funny without being tasteless
And there's the rub: The Academy wants to play safe in an era that rewards risk. It's time the Academy embraced controversy instead of steering away from it. That's what Donald Trump did, and it helped him become president.
The more milquetoast the host, the more muted the show. The Oscars might not be ready for a shock jock to become emcee-in-chief, but a little more shock might just make for a whole lot more awe.
