“I stand with a man in his time of hurt and need by giving him heart felt support and u take the time to harp on my 10yr past that I have apologized about and moved on from by being a better person,” he wrote. “Do you want change? If so I am an example of what u want people to do…CHANGE!”
Despite the explanation, Ira was quick to point out how Hart spun the controversy as some sort of smear campaign by trolls.

I “harp” because my community of black queer people face violence 365 in America and when we tried to tell you that we weren’t trolling you but wanted to educate how your jokes lead to actions like what happened to Jussie, you went on Ellen to talk about your wheelchair movie. https://t.co/bGXkNVQsTl
