Actor Kevin Hart has sued YouTuber LaTasha Kebe, better known as Tasha K, for alleged extortion and defamation. According to documents revealed by Page Six, the comedian had also been threatened by the controversial host with an uncomfortable interview.
According to the lawsuit filed by Hart, Tasha K had threatened the “Jumanji” actor with revealing an interview that Kevin’s former assistant, Miesha Shakes, had revealed to him in previous weeks.
After what Shakes said, Kebe herself would have called Kevin Hart’s team to ask for nearly $250,000 dollars not to reveal the interview in which various aspects of the actor’s life were discussed that could put his acting career at risk. as well as his own marriage.
Even after Hart’s refusal to pay the “ransom,” the YouTuber published a preview of the interview with Shakes as a way to threaten the actor so that he would give in to the threats and pay the required amount.
Why did Miesha Shakes reach out to Tasha K?
Miesha Shakes was the comedian’s personal assistant between August 2017 and October 2020. After her departure, Shakes approached the YouTuber to reveal a large number of “controversies in the actor’s life” such as the comedian’s alleged infidelity with a stewardess.
In the same interview, other “problems” that the actor has had are also mentioned, such as his gambling addiction as well as other controversies in the life of the interpreter of “A Spy and a Half” and “Friends Forever.”
As a result, Kevin also sued Shakes herself for defamation and for breaking the confidentiality agreement she signed when working for him. So far, the reason why Shakes decided to reveal this kind of information has not been revealed, however, it is believed that the “secrets” he kept from Hart led to his firing as well as his getting closer to Tasha K. .
What will happen to Kevin Hart’s lawsuit?
Following the revelation of the first clip of the interview, Hart sent a cease and desist letter. However, this did not prevent the entire interview from being published on Tasha K’s website.
