Kevin Hart's Kids Aren't Happy with His Scandals
by EG
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle star Kevin Hart caused plenty of controversy when his homophobic comments and news of his infidelity put speed bumps in his career. Some of that controversy was in his own home, he says. Apparently his children weren't happy that he had cheated and liked to tell anti-gay jokes. Read on for details.
Kevin Hart joined Will Smith for a special Father’s Day edition of Red Table Talk on Facebook Watch Sunday where he reflected on the impacts his cheating scandal with his wife and the controversy that led him to step down from being the Oscars host had on his children.
In a candid 45-minute conversation, Hart candidly opened up about his relationship with his father, his first porce and how he addressed being at the center of scandals with his children including teens Heaven and Hendrix shared with ex-wife Torrei and Kenzo and Kaori with his wife Eniko Parrish.
“I stepped in some shit, yeah,” Hart says when Smith asked him how he addresses public scandals with his family. “You’re never prepared for that side of it. I can say having a little girl in my life, it’s tough. You don’t realize the impact that your mistakes could truly have.” He went on to say that it’s a “different emotion” when kids are involved.
“Through my public debacles, I got on some armor. It’s very hard to shoot through this… it’s very hard to bother me,” Hart says. “But when your child shows disappointment, shows emotion, shows ‘I don’t understand why?’ and you got to have those conversations, well now head drops for the first time.” He said that his kids pulled “a different emotional cord” on him, in particular, his daughter after Hart’s admission of cheating on his wife Eniko Parrish.
“My talk with Heaven… that was one like no other,” Hart tells Smith. “Getting my daughter back, getting my daughter to understand that I was sorry, that I made a mistake… My daughter was tough on me. Until this day, my daughter is tough on me,” he said of his 16-year-old daughter. “My daughter don’t play no games with her father.”
