Nick Cannon, apparently minding the business of Kevin Hart‘s bag and not his own, dredged up a bunch of homophobic tweets from a trio of white comediennes in a bid to get the cancellation popping. But as Twitter reminded Cannon, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and Chelsea Handler have all been sufficiently checked in the past but that didn’t stay his hand.
Schumer, Silverman, and Handler’s checkered online and questionably tasteless pasts have been put through the social media blender although it is true that those women have gone on to continue working. The connection to Hart is obvious, this after some homophobic jokes of his surfaced online thus leading him to push back on apologizing for the comments but also eventually losing a cushy Oscars hosting gig.
Now that the smoke is cleared and Hart’s team are most likely securing what’s left of his career in the wake of this, Cannon calling out the comediennes comes as a case of too little, too late.
We’ve captured some of the reactions to Nick Cannon blasting these white comediennes way after the fact below and on the following pages.

And Nick Cannon can kiss my ass by bringing up the homophobic tweets of those white women.

He's being deliberately obtuse because what Kevin said was wrong. Homophobia is wrong no matter the color of the person spewing the hate.

This Nick Cannon shit is the Bill Cosby case all over again. A bunch of whataboutisms b/c black people do not like holding black men accountable. They didn’t see the need to address those white women (ignored when others did) until they realized they couldn’t be homophobic too.

It’s cool Nick Cannon is tryna support a fellow actor/comedian, but arguing “white people get away with being trash, so black people should too” is always a dumb way to defend somebody.

Nick Cannon snitching on white women for making homophobic statements on twitter to support Kevin Hart for doing it is the most interesting, annoying, funny, disturbing, ridiculous thing I’ve seen in December so far.

Nick Cannon thinking nobody ever calls Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, and Chelsea Handler for statements they've made is funnier than any episode of Wild'n Out.
