George Floyd’s family criticizes comedians Kevin Hart and Tony Hinchcliffe over a joke made during Netflix’s “The Roast of Kevin Hart,” which airs as part of a live event reported by multiple outlets. In statements attributed to a spokesman for the George Floyd family foundation, the family says it is “sad for the culture” that Hart is perceived as condoning the joke that Hinchcliffe told. The criticism focuses on remarks that reference George Floyd and frame him in a captioned or comedic context, which the family argues is inappropriate. One report characterizes the joke as portraying Floyd “looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe,” while the family’s response centers on the broader issue of humor being used in connection with Floyd’s death. The outlets agree that the family’s comments are directed at both performers connected to the roast—Hinchcliffe as the joke’s teller and Hart as the hosting figure associated with the program—following the Netflix broadcast.
