Kevin Hart sat down with Anderson Cooper over the weekend for a 60 Minutes interview during which the subject of Hart’s past homophobia came up.

As you may recall, in 2019, the producers of the Academy Awards recruited Hart to host the ceremony. However, shortly after it was announced, homophobic tweets Hart had written years earlier surfaced.

Back in 2011, he’d posted a tweet saying, “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’.”

Hart deleted that particular tweet when it came back to haunt him years later.
