Wednesday afternoon, comedian Kevin Hart was announced as the host for the upcoming 91st annual Academy Awards.

The turn of events followed outcry over previous anti-gay tweets, and comments Hart made during stand-up routines nearly 10 years ago.

“My team calls me, ‘Oh my God, Kevin, everyone’s upset by tweets you did years ago,'” he said in that video.

If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you.

If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify the past, do you.

Hours later, Hart resurfaced with another video stating that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had given him an ultimatum: Apologize or we’ll find a new host.
