Kevin Hart has sent his best wishes to Jussie Smollett, who was attacked in what has been described as a hate crime.
The comedian recently stepped down from hosting this year’s Oscars after past tweets in which he made homophobic statements resurfaced.
The musician and Empire star was approached by two men who yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him at approximately 2am on Tuesday, according to a police statement provided to The Independent.
“At some point during the incident, one of the offenders wrapped a rope around the victim’s neck.”
