    This thread is an excellent deconstruction & dissection of the effort by Ellen DeGeneres to promote Kevin Hart’s 2nd short as Oscars host. If nothing else, it’s clear her staff did no research. Had they, this interview might not have happened. did do the research.

  6. And, Ellen, don't allow your friend to get away with that and mislead your viewers.

  7. It would indeed be great if you now genuinely believe your past words were hurtful and these new apologies are earnest. But don't paint yourself as the victim here, and don't twist the narrative of what actually happened.

  8. And it's not at all unreasonable for the gays like me who grew up loving the Oscars might want to go back and see what you'd said about us.....just these past few years.

  9. To this, I can only say that Twitter has a very easy-to-use search function you might enjoy. It allows you to look for words in people's tweets without scrolling through tens of thousands of them.

  10. Lastly, you told Ellen that people unearthing your old tweets amounted to a concentred attack. "To go through 40,000 tweets to get back to a 2008, that is an attack. That is a malicious attack on my character," you said. "That is an attack to end me."

  11. In fact, you said on Instagram that it was the LGBT community that was to blame. "Stop looking for reasons to be negative...Stop searching for reasons to be angry," you wrote.

  12. Except just HOURS before you quit, you went on instagram and specifically REFUSED to apologize. "I chose to pass, I pass on the apology," you said (in a video in which, btw, you said you'd "addressed this" in the past but never said you'd apologized)

  13. Let's revisit the day you quit as Oscars host. "I said that I would much rather step down and apologize again while stepping down," you told Ellen. "Once again, I am sorry if these words hurt. I'm sorry. But either my apology is accepted or it isn't."

  14. I mean, i think my tweets above address all this. You defended it. You didn't apologize. If there's footage of you doing so, why didn't you release that when this controversy emerged last month?

  15. Ok, back to the Ellen interview. You said you became upset once headlines said you refused to apologize for your anti-gay words: "I'm a little upset, because I know who I am, I know that I don't have a homophobic bone in my body. I know that I have addressed it and apologized."

  16. 2010, btw, was the same year you said one of your "biggest fears" was your son growing up and being gay. (This is the bit you defended to Rolling Stone)

  17. I think this is the key thing here. This wasn't the one joke. This was a clear pattern for years online. "Fags" and "gays" were things to be looked down on. In 2009, you called someone a "FAT FAG." In 2010, you said someone looks like a "gay bill board for AIDS"

  18. Again, 2011 is not some distant era when cultural views were radically different. Brett Ratner was forced out as — wait for it — Oscars producer that very year after saying "rehearsal is for fags."

  19. You also seem to keep implying all these anti-gay remarks were from 10 years ago. No. You were using gay and fag and homo as slurs on Twitter until 2011 and 2012.

  20. BTW, that same year in 2015 you told "funny is funny" when he asked you whether the homophobic comedy in Get Hard was dated.

  21. You did tell Rolling Stone in 2015 that you wouldn't tell that same jokes again, not because you'd evolved, but because when you said it in 2010 "the times weren't as sensitive as they are now"
