Two days after he was named as host last month, Hart backed off when some of his homophobic tweets from a decade ago resurfaced. She told Hart she phoned the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences because she wants him to host the 91st Oscars. I have no idea if he wants to come back and host but what are your thoughts?'" Hart told DeGeneres that when his old messages resurfaced, "what was once the brightest light ever just got real dark."
