Kevin Hart says his body is a ‘mess’ after NFL race injuries
Kevin Hart has opened up about the condition of his body after suffering a tear in his lower abdomen and abductors while racing former NFL running back Stevan Ridley. In an Instagram video, the comedian expressed that his injuries were severe, stating, “Guys, it’s bad. It’s really bad. My genitals are swollen and my legs are immobile.” Hart, who is currently using a wheelchair, shared the update on his recovery while sitting in the backseat of a car with his wheelchair next to him. He expressed frustration, saying, “Look at this situation. It takes me so long to get out of the car. I’m a complete mess.”
In the video, Hart also took the opportunity to call out his friends who had mocked his injuries from the 40-yard dash. He revealed that he had received numerous calls from friends and athletes questioning his decision to participate in the race. Hart defended himself, stating, “I am in shape! This has nothing to do with my fitness level!” The comedian admitted that he should not have agreed to race Ridley and vowed to never do it again.
Known for his dedication to fitness, Hart warned his friends to be cautious when he regains his mobility. He promised to confront those who had laughed at him once he was back on his feet. In the caption of his post, he expressed his frustration, stating, “All of my friends can kiss my ass. I wish you could hear some of these calls. Suddenly, everyone is a doctor or a physician. Screw all of you!”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a close friend of Hart’s, attempted to clarify his intentions in the comments, claiming that his comments were made out of love. Other celebrities, such as YouTuber Kevin Fredericks, found humor in the situation. Hart’s wife, Eniko Hart, chimed in, playfully stating, “I bet next time you’ll listen to me!”
Previously, Hart had blamed his injuries on not respecting his age and called himself the “dumbest man alive.” He admitted that he had engaged in the race with Ridley due to a debate over who was faster. However, he now realizes the foolishness of his actions and regrets his decision.
Hart concluded by promising his fans that he will document his journey to recovery.
