As unlikely as it may seem, some celebrities have managed to regain public's trust and maintain their careers in the industry after facing backlash over their controversial remarks or behaviors.

AceShowbiz - Kevin Hart would have hosted the Oscars for the first time in his career, had it not been because of his old homophobic tweets. Just two days after he was announced as the host of the 2019 ceremony, he stepped down from the gig after his comments from 2010 and 2011 resurfaced online. After initially refusing to apologize as he characterized the protest as non-constructive, he issued one to the LGBTQ+ community for his "insensitive words" from the past.
Claiming that he's "evolving," the comedian was defended by Ellen DeGeneres, who wished that he would be able to reverse his decision to withdraw from the Oscars hosting gig. Though Kevin eventually did not host the Academy Awards, he never runs out of job. The 43-year-old star has since returned for "Jumanji: The Next Level" and starred in other movies, such as "Fatherhood", "The Man From Toronto" and "DC League of Super-Pets".
