Personal life

Hart made several posts on Instagram and Twitter in 2020 that received criticism. Some covered topics such as COVID-19, support for DeSean Jackson after he received backlash for some posts seen as antisemitic, and an image that read "Stop Promoting Homosexuality to Our Children!", which was later deleted. Hart later explained his posts, claiming that "I don't mean to offend nobody. I don't discriminate against anybody. I know that everyone thinks differently and I know that I have a platform that sometimes people can see things and take it a certain way and I'm definitely aware of that. As you mature and grow, I talked to the players, coaches and things like that."
