In another that remained up as of publication time, Hart says, 'Lmao all of the woman asking me where the pic is, I'm not passing along a pic of a naked man!!! That would make me gay by association.' Several other tweets using various homophobic slurs remain on Hart's account, including one asking 'why does (Damien Dante Wayans') profile pic look like a gay bill board for AIDS,' with this strange brag tacked on at the end: 'Booom, I'm on fire tonight.' 'Yo if my son comes home & try's 2 play with my daughters doll house I'm going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice 'stop that's gay,' ' read a 2011 tweet that Hart deleted this week, according to BuzzFeed News. Around the same time, it appears that some of them were deleted. Several of those tweets began surfacing shortly after. Anyone wanting to disqualify Hart, at least in the court of public opinion, had a cornucopia of homophobic tweets to choose from.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced this week that comedian Kevin Hart will host the 91st Oscars ceremony on February 24 - so naturally his Twitter found itself under the microscope.
