Now that we’ve had several days to think about it, do you care that Kevin Hart felt he had to step down from hosting the Oscars? I thought the announcement of Hart’s hosting gig was met with a general sense of “meh” and “he’s not right for the job, but whatever.” Most blogs and trade papers mentioned in their initial coverage that Hart had some public-image issues, like his very public infidelity, his homophobic public statements/comedy and some racially insensitive sh-t. Any or all of that would have come back to bite him, it was just the homophobia that became an issue so quickly. So Hart stepped down, and now people are wondering… what about all of the other comedians who have said homophobic crap? Nick Cannon took to Twitter to specifically call out three female comedians for homophobic tweets:

Nick Cannon appeared to leap to Kevin Hart‘s defense on Friday, in the wake of the “Night School” star stepping down as the 2019 Oscars host. His defense, which comes amid criticism of Hart’s past homophobic tweets, included calling out female comedians, who had also used homophobic language on the social media platform.

Taking to Twitter, Cannon, 38, wrote, “Interesting. I wonder if there was any backlash here…,” as he shared a 2010 tweet from Chelsea Handler that stated, “This is what a f-g bird likes like when he flexes.”

The “Wild ‘n Out” star also revisited a 2010 tweet from “Ralph Breaks the Internet” actress Sarah Silverman that read, “I don’t mean this in a hateful way but the new bachelorette’s a f—-t.” Cannon later wrote, “And I f–king love Wreck it Ralph!!!”

He then resurfaced a 6-year-old tweet from Amy Schumer that said, “Enjoy skyfall f-gs. I’m bout to get knee deep in Helen Hunt #thesessions.” Cannon responded, “I’m just saying … should we keep going???”

It’s like the old saying: “First they came for Kevin Hart, and I said nothing because f–k that guy. Then they came for the problematic white women and I said nothing because they suck too.” I mean, obviously, if Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer or Sarah Silverman had been hired to host the Oscars, their old tweets would have been dusted off and analyzed as well. They would have had to issue apologies and all of that. I guess Nick is making some kind of point about Cancel Culture and how we need to cancel Silverman, Schumer and Handler for their homophobia if we’re going to cancel Kevin. And to that I say… *shrug* okay? I’m not going to fight for any of these a–holes.
