NBC News was slammed on Tuesday for seemingly mixing up Kevin Hart and Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt. The outlet used a photo of the comedian in a Facebook alert for its story on Bolt testing positive for the coronavirus. Although NBC News blamed the gaffe on a “technical error,” the excuse isn’t flying on social media — or with Hart.
Hart shared a screenshot of the erroneous image with several face-palm emojis, writing, “No comment.”
“I must of gotten really fast & tall overnight,” Hart quipped, noting he plans to “take advantage of this moment & race anybody in the world.” He also joked he’s “no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule.”
“P.S this is Disrespectful on so many levels,” the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star added. “All you can do is laugh. Maybe the Covid 19 shrunk his legs & torso.”
