After comedic actor Kevin Hart stepped down from his Oscars hosting job because of past homophobic comments, Nick Cannon evidently got to work. On Friday (December 7), the Wild ‘N Out star unearthed three controversial tweets from comedians Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer.
He was questioning why Hart received so much backlash when Handler, Silverman and Schumer never caught any flak for their comments. In fact, they have all gone on to have undeniably successful careers.
“Interesting,” Cannon wrote alongside Handler’s 2010 “fag bird” tweet. “I wonder if there was any backlash here.”
Similarly, Cannon retweeted a 2010 tweet from Silverman which read: “I don’t mean this in a hateful way but the new bachelorette’s a faggot.” He then tacked one on from Schumer who tweeted in 2012, “Enjoy skyfall fags. I’m bout to get knee deep in Helen Hunt. #thesessions.”
When challenged by a Twitter user to “audit’ his own tweets, Cannon took responsibility for any of his past remarks and insisted he only speaks the truth.
“Nope!!” he wrote. “You know I’ve been saying fucked up shit since twitter started! I don’t play that politically correct bullshit! Fuck politics!! Only truth!”
Hart was expected to host the ceremony in February. An alternate host hasn’t been announced.
What a snitch
Dude has to have a lot of time. Says a lot about his “Carreer”
Whats up with your career
Nick makes 10 mill a year, how bout you?
Nick is that dude for real for real
Repping black America like a champ! He found the white Women, no Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor… way to make intelligent people with a college education laugh at your ass. Hahahaha. The issue is Kevin wasn’t being homophobic. He was talking about his SON with his opinion. He shouldn’t have caved. That the argument EVERYONE should make. This is bullshit. Straight up. Then they’re talking about white folks? It wasn’t a race thing, moron. Anyone is under the gun now, you talentless hack. Way to be racist by trying to expose racism. Moron. Comedy is a free speech platform.
It could be a race thing, I’m white – just saying lol.. I wouldn’t rule it out but it’s still a bit low of Nick Cannon to do this. Regardless of what was said, in what context, to whom, it doesn’t matter, the pigment of their skin – it was years ago, he apologised for it and it should be forgotten about but it’s not the world we live in anymore unfortunately. People like digging for offence, if they don’t get offended then they have to look for something to offend them, it’s pathetic.
They not gonna get backlash because their white thats just how it works in this society its nothing we can do bout that but im glad nick stepped up and brought it to notice
Plenty of white people have faced backlash. Roseanne Barr comes to mind.
Yeah but that was to cover the network ass
Are you dumb or just racist?? White People face backlash all the time specially when they are conservatives. Liberal Hollyweird hates them
If you audit tweets, you’re a fucking cop. End of story.
Nick cannon sucks shit. Does he actually have fans and if so, what of lol?
I always get him confused with one of the Wayans bros.
Someone has to pull a race card for this nonsense. It has nothing to do with race. But I feel like one of these woke folks is gonna make it about that. Freaking chumps
Ever since Eminem roasted him Nick hates the whites
Nick Cannon is a real one. I don’t know why I hated him so much as a kid. lol
well I finally have respect for Nick Cannon…. this is great.. Handler and Silverman are loud mouth liberal hacks anyways
So now Nick Cannon’s a SNITCH
SNITCH wants to stay relevant…inside racist.
I posted an incredibly polite and thoughtful comment that also happens to be the only one here that reflects some actual knowledge of the LGBTQ community. You guys took it down. Amazing.
All I can say is that your editorial policy is pretty sad–and that it’s looking pretty hostile to queer folks and their concerens. Shame on you.
The three of them are white liberals/democrats… they will get a free pass.
Exaclty. Liberals and democrats always get a pass. From beating their wives, to saying anything they want. The PC culture doesn’t effect them. Just everyone else who doesn’t bow to them. I won’t bow to them. I’ll continue to say and do what I like, and say fuck the PC crowd.
They AREN’T Hosting the OSCARS, WHY try to bring ‘race’ into this, there’s HUNDREDS of black comedians’ acts and social media that talk about ‘gays’ in every way possible, many WAY WORSE than any of this …. He shoulda just apoligizzed and he’s be hosting and showing he’s GROWN, cause he apoligized a couple minutes later any way, just a couple minutes TOO LATE!
Clearly the Oscars don’t mean enough for him to bend to the will of the mob.
so what if they aren’t the host of the oscars? the point that its ridiculous how he caught the wrath of the outrage mob on social media over old ass jokes in a comedy special from 10 fucking years ago. then these old tweets get weaponized against him as if its relevant in the current year. these people live to dig up shit, get mad at you over it and use it against you just to brow beat you to submission, expecting you to apologize and to confirm to the sensibilities of other strangers who have nothing to do with any of kevin’s jokes at all. they weren’t the target of ridicule or attacks at all, but the outrage mob are ready to take it personal as if kevin directed any inflammatory slurs at them. because, of this, thats why he has to step down from hosting oscars. this is un-necessary. he did nothing wrong making a goddamn joke in a comedy about his son. nothing to do with being hateful or bigoted towards anyone. outrage culture and political correctness is a detriment to our society, not progress in moving us in forward in the “right direction”. smh
HUNDREDS of black comedians’ acts and social media that talk about ‘gays’ in every way possible, many WAY WORSE than any of this/quote.
AND? are gays or gay jokes off-limits in comedy now? we can joke about race or racism, we can joke about relationships, men, women, politics, politicans, even murder, but not gays? why? because you and the lgbt says so?
I don’t think Nick was highlighting race here. Anybody crying about the “race card”, you are the ones bringing it up. His tweet looks like it’s highlighting the hypocrisy driving social agendas. The LGBTQ community didn’t much care about those tweets not because they are from 10 years ago, but because Siverman and Handler don’t have the star power of Kevin Hart at the moment. Not to mention, K Hart has been recently embroiled in controversy with the whole extortion scheme. This is about visibility for the LGBTQ agenda.
The whites will get a pass but they’ll drag Kevin
Fuck you jiggabo
Fuck you devil
Lmao. You act like the PC movement hasn’t hurt any white persons career. Are you that fucking brain dead? Nobody wins from this. I’m white. I don’t agree at all with what happened with Kevin. However, they made their own fucking bed. They pushed the Democrat PC movmenets. It’s their own faults that this is the America we now live in. Comedians can’t even make jokes.
Only one of them is white though. That would be chelsea. I think you can figure out from the names Silverman and Schumer that they are not white really.
Y’all so judgement, if I was Kevin I would not give two cares about hosting anyway. It’s always something can anyone have a break these days.
So, they won’t be hosting the Oscars either.
I burp my lil worm to nick cannon and empty my thick creamy warm load all over my stomach cuz I lay on my back when I do it.
The bottom line is we are living in a world where people have choices. Yes there are some people who cannot and will not accept gays, blacks whites, religions etc. I strongly feel if you disagree with someone lifestyle that’s your opinion and you are entitled to your opinion. No one should be penalized for how they feel about someone who is gay, black, white or because of their Religion.
Kevin Heart only has to answer to God no one else and no one knows what God will say. The act of discrimination and favoritism should stop that’s why the world is upside down. The Oscars needs to get over it he apologize already let’s move on and I will not watch the Oscars because of the stupidity of the net work asking Kevin Heart to apologize again, what about the straight people rights.
People need to digest that some people believes that being straight is a gift from God and some people don’t believe being straight is a gift from God.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on that producer and the Net work for discriminating against someone opinion and beliefs.
.
It is the producer and the net work that should go to the wall of shame for discriminating against kaven Heart and other straight people opinion it’s the producer and the net work who should apologize for discriminating against Kevin Heart.
I’m straight and I have Gay friends but that is their business they should no if it’s right or wrong it’s not my place to condemn anyone because of their color, religion or race and it took me years to understand.
Once again everyone is entitled to have freedom of speech. I commend Kaven Heart for keeping it 100 he should not apologize for what he said at the time or perhaps he still feel that way it’s his right.
Please note a lot of people did not understand about Gay people back in the days and parents never raised their children to understand and to accept gays. I was one of the people who was afraid of Gay people at one time. I did not understand and now in my opinion they make great friends and I don’t discus their life style with it’s not my place.
I did not understand about the gay life style why a man would want to be with another man or a woman would want be with another woman, I was afraid and there was so many bad things that was being said about gay people. It took me years to understand gay people. At end of the day they are still human beings they choose to live their lives that way so I either accept or not accept. What I did was focus on the person and not their life style.
God will say nothing because he’s not real.
Do I feel bad for Kevin, or any of these celebrities? Hell no. They are the ones responsible for turning America into a PC shit hole, where a comedian can no longer make a God damn joke. Seriously… I hope the other Americans who aren’t retarded are taking notes, and realizing that PC culture is absolutely fucking stupid. Hell, some are banning the song “baby it’s cold outside”. Fucks wrong with us? This is ridiculous as shit. Fuck the PC movement. And fuck anyone who supports anyone who supports it.
Well, two out of three of those females are je.v.vish (Silverman, Schumer) so they get a pass because they are part of the tribe that control the entire entertainment industry.
Women aren’t controlling anything… I thought the industry was running run by the gay mafia
Empress to Luci
Luci who are to trample on the people who believe in God because you are NONE BELIEVEr KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
It’s your right not to believe in God and like I stated before for those of us who believe “what will God say it’s up to God to Judge not us and we have rights like the LGBTQ they should not have more rights than some one who is straight, black, Chinese, Indian or religious. “ Luci if you believe in God keep it to yourself that’s your right and your business.
Empress
Tom worthier you sound like a nasty idiot. No one is talking the trash that you are talking about stupid.
Luci Miss none believer in God, stay in your lane because you don’t believe in God keep it to yourself and you have the right to believe or not to believe.
For the record God loves everyone including you Luci.
I think the main thing here that we can all agree on is that Kevin Hart isn’t funny
The truly amazing thing about him was that he was able to come back and have a successful career after the monstrously bad film that was Soul Plane.
Empress to Roz,
I’m sorry Roz you make no sense there is no hostility to the LGBTQ. The Librals / Democratics or perhaps being White has nothing to do with this, it’s who you know and how to stop who you want to stop from making their money.
The fall guy is K Heart if I was Kevin I will keep it moving and make a lot more money and don’t have anything to do with that network or producers.
As for you Truth you are jealous of people who make money your toxic opinion lingers through your statement instead of hating try and make your own money and become your own millionaire.
There’s a reply button for a reason dipshit.
I think Kevin Hart should have shown some backbone and stood up for himself. Re-apologising for eight year old jokes is ridiculous and he should have called it as such. And I’m going to call out the hip hop community as well. A lot of you wanted to preach social justice all day but now it’s bitten a black entertainer in the arse, now you want to yell “fuck political correctness!”.
he did stand up for himself by saying he isn’t re-apologizing [learn to spell bitch]. FUCK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND BLACK LIVES MATTER NOW WHAT BITCH
are u retarded? he backed out of hosting and said he was sorry again
Wow, maybe you should actually get a clue about what’s actually going on before banging your elbows on the keyboard like an imbecile. Thanks tonytoca for trying to educate this idiot.
Chelsea Handler is an absolute joke. I would cure cancer before I could understand how she has a fan base.
