00:00Ellen DeGeneres is facing major backlash for wanting Kevin Hart to host the Oscars

00:07after his controversial tweets resurfaced, and we have all the details.

00:14Hey guys, it's Lisa B for Hollywood Life with a lot of Ellen drama.

00:17I know, weird.

00:18But before we get into it, let's talk about her Netflix comedy special, Relatable,

00:23because she shares a lot about herself that you might never have known.

00:26Ellen reveals she never had medicine growing up.

00:28She once worked at a landscaping company, and she never hunks while driving.

00:32How does she do that in LA?

00:34But alright, Ellen also spoke about something more serious during her special,

00:38when she came out on her show back in 1997.

00:41Ellen said she received so much criticism, her show ended up getting cancelled.

00:45Then it was really hard for her to get back into TV,

00:48because no one thought people would want to watch her.

00:50Funny, because fast forward to present day, and she's now one of the biggest names in media,

00:54and has one of the most watched talk shows.

00:56Speaking of her talk show, there's some drama.

00:59Ellen seems to be facing major backlash on social media after bringing Kevin Hart as a guest,

01:04and apparently downplaying his previous comments about the LGBTQ community.

01:08Recall, Kevin was supposed to host the Oscars this year,

01:11but turned down the offer after saying he doesn't want to keep apologizing for his past comments.

01:16I just got a call from the Academy, and that called basically to say,

01:20Kevin, apologize for your tweets of old, or we're going to have to move on and find another host.

01:26Talking about the tweets from 2009, 2010.

01:29I chose to pass. I passed on you.

01:30The reason why I passed is because I've addressed this several times.

01:33This is not the first time this has come up. I've addressed it.

01:35I've spoken on it.

01:36I've said where the rights and wrongs were.

01:39I've said who I am now versus who I was then.

01:42I've done it. I've done it.

01:43I'm not going to continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I moved on,

01:49and I'm in a completely different space in my life.

01:51But okay, when Kevin appeared on Ellen,

01:53she said she still wanted him to host and actually called the Academy herself.

01:57She also told Kevin, in part, quote,

01:59you've already expressed that it's not being educated on the subject.

02:03You have grown. You have apologized.

02:05You are apologizing again right now.

02:07You've done it.

02:08Host the Oscars.

02:09While people are outraged,

02:10she spoke out on the entire LGBTQ community,

02:13saying it's a, quote, massive effing betray.

02:16So disclaimer, I absolutely love Ellen,

02:18but I can kind of see why some people aren't so happy.
