I’ve been trying to suppress my feelings about this, but I’m mad at Kevin Hart. Y’all I’ve become a ghost Kevin Hart follower. I haven’t liked any of his posts and have stopped watching his Snapchat stories since his cheating scandal last month. And I love his Snap stories, dude is hilarious. I just need time to breathe. After he issued that vague as hell apology right before the video surfaced, I haven’t been able to bounce back.
He didn’t give me time to process what happened, after the apology, Kev was back like he never left– cracking jokes and kee-keying on Snapchat. The nerve. I think to say I’m a fan of Kevin would be strong a word to use (only Bey, Drake, Kanye and Luther are worthy). But was I was rooting for him? Was I proud of his accomplishments and admired his work ethic and God-given talent? Absolutely. Those are probably the same reasons I’m upset. I’m still rooting for him. I just don’t like him right now. The woman in me won’t allow it.
I also don’t like when people gloss over things like they never happened, à la Elevator-gate with Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z. Kev has been on that the-only-opinion-that-matters-is-the-opinion-of-my-family tip, that I just can’t get with. I get where he’s coming from, but something in his delivery is dismissive of the people who follow and support him. I don’t think people should write nasty things on social media or share their opinions about his marriage, but as someone who likes Kevin, this my visceral reaction to the situation.
I’ll get over it soon (I hope), Jumanji comes out in a few months and I owe that to my childhood.
