Eddie Murphy Steps Down From Hosting The Academy Awards



Actor Eddie Murphy has stepped down as the host for the Academy Hosts. While there is no clear reason as to why he has released a statement saying,

First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job.

Apparently though, some other things went on behind the scenes. Read inside to catch the drama.

Eddie’s announcement of stepping down as the host comes after Brett Ratner (director of Eddie’s latest movie Tower Heist) has stepped down as the co-producer of the Academy Awards. Why did Brett step down? Supposedly Brett Ratner said some controversial sexual comments about an actress named Olivia Munn. Rumors say that Ratner used the F-word during an interview with Hollywood’s Arclight. Who does that???

Nonetheless, I guess since Eddie’s friend has parted ways he’s decided to follow. I don’t understand what that has to do with him making his own personal money. I suppose when you’ve been in the game for a long time, you can do that. What are your thoughts on this situation? Who do you think could replace Eddie as the host?

    it really gets me when people are talking this bull about eddie murphy like he is broke. while u people cant pay your bill or dont have a job this man is set. for your information if your friend got fired because his freedom of speech was taken from him u would stand by his side too. what is going in our country when u cant express anymore so what he said fag that is right to say what he want .this is not south korea or china. this country is turning into a place that is disgusting to me. suddenly if u say anything people dont like your racist or against gay. get a f life people. people are getting fired and forced to say they sorry because they express their views. u know what i dont believe in calling people names but i believe in with all my heart freedom of speech. eddie murphy of money so he have a right to do what he did and stand by his friend. all u people talking sh*it need to get a life and a good sense of humor. people in hollywood are on the downlow so the gay mafiaGLAD are one their call.

    I wonder who is going to replace him. I was looking forward to seeing Eddie that was such a good look for him. He’ll probably never be asked to host it again
