While we still don’t know exactly what happened on the night “Empire” star Jussie Smollett was reportedly the victim of an alleged hate crime, after Kevin Hart found out about the alleged attack, he sent out this tweet:
Sending prayers your way @jussiesmollett ….This is unbelievably sad. Why are we going backwards….this is disgusting. We as people have to do better. WTF is going on the world???? Why… https://t.co/G6vCnKPEhf
— Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) January 30, 2019
And, for expressing concern about Smollett’s welfare, Hart caught heat. Because everything is terrible.

Are you for real. We could do better, first place to start would’ve been setting the record straight that beating children straight is wrong and that toxic culture leads to homophobic attacks all around the world!

This would have been the perfect moment for you to take some accountability for furthering the culture that encourages this violence. But if you understood what accountability is we wouldn’t be in this mess so.

@KevinHart4real made numerous "jokes" about committing acts of violence against #LGBT people. His actions directly (& indirectly) feed the hate & narrative that it's ok to commit violence against us. People like #KevinHart helped create this hostile environment toward #gay people

You should have just sat there and ate your food, Kevin. Ain’t nobody trying to watch you use this for an op.
— Dimitrius Jones (@iDimitriusJones) January 30, 2019
Kevin would've joined in the beating, if he could.

Did we mention everything is terrible?
For what it’s worth, though, Hart’s not letting the haters detract from his ultimate message:
your funniest joke congrats https://t.co/N3JqxaSJMl

I stand with a man in his time of hurt and need by giving him heart felt support and u take the time to harp on my 10yr past that I have apologized about and moved on from by being a better person. Do you want change? If so I am an example of what u want people to do…CHANGE! https://t.co/Ybbo8OYKTt
— Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) January 30, 2019
Good for him.
Wow, I guess some people can never be forgiven for past mistakes. He’s apologized more than enough times! How long will he be condemned? We have all done and said things in our past that we’ve regretted and apologized for. Don’t you expect to be forgiven!
