Kevin Hart probably expected his interview with Ellen DeGeneres,USA Archives one of the most beloved lesbians in America, to clear him of any wrongdoing.
Instead, Hart sparked even further outrage, claiming that he had already apologized to the LGBTQ community -- when no real apology could be found. Ellen was quick to accept Hart's claim.
Twitter and CNN host Don Lemon was not.

It's now rumored that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may re-consider Hart as the 2019 Oscar host after his interview with Ellen on Friday.
The drama -- and people's real pain -- will continue.
