It seems Kevin Hart was moved to action by the Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly.”
The comedian, who refuses to host the Oscars, shared that after watching he immediately went to talk to his kids, Hendrix, 11, and Heaven, 13.
“It just makes you understand that you have to be present,” Hart, 39, told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM channel Radio Andy on Wednesday. “You have to be present. You have to talk to your kids. You have to make sure your kids got so much confidence in the ability to just have a conversation and talk.”
He called the entire situation “sad.”
“What you realize is that you’re looking at real damaged individual,” he added. “This is past perverted or sick. This is some other s–t.”
Hart, who welcomed his third child with wife Eniko Parrish in 2017, advised parents to redirect that negative energy off Kelly and put it back into the home.
“Make sure this is a time where you embrace your household,” he added. “Your family. Your loved ones. And just make sure you’re talking to these kids, man. You don’t want this to be your child.”
R. Kelly is officially under criminal investigation in Georgia following the series.
