Ellen's Support for Kevin Hart as Oscars Host Sparks Controversy

[Bucky]

Ellen DeGeneres interview with Kevin Hart and support for him as Oscars host is sparking controversy — and backlash.

In the interview, DeGeneres revealed not only does her fellow comedian have her full support after he stepped down in the wake of controversy over his past homophobic tweets, but she is also actively campaigning to have him host this year’s Academy Awards.

“I called [The Academy], I said, ‘Kevin’s on, I have no idea if he wants to come back and host, but what are your thoughts?’ And they were like, ‘Oh my God, we want him to host. We feel like that maybe he misunderstood or it was handled wrong or maybe we said the wrong thing but we want him to host. Whatever we can do we would be thrilled. And he should host the Oscars,’” DeGeneres host told Hart.

As the world turns...All these over tweets. FYI, making gay jokes does not make you homophobic.

Honestly, why does anyone care about the Hollywood losers and their self-congratulatory masturbation sessions anyhow?

The only reason they want him back is because their bullying tactic backfired on them when he refused to capitulate. Now they have a PR problem that bringing him back fixes

There's derp, and there are orders of magnitude. Sometimes they meet.

Ok, I missed the thing.

What did KH do, and why should I be outraged.

Keep in mind, I love Ellen and will likely agree with her after you explain it to me.

And no I don't want to google it.

I love her wife even more, oh Portia, why must you be gay...
