Kevin Hart's Ex-Pal Files $12M Lawsuit Against Him For Alleged Fraud, Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress: Report

Kevin Hart is facing a bombshell lawsuit from his former friend, Jonathan "JT" Jackson.

According to Jackson, Hart was involved in a highly publicized sex tape scandal with Montia Sabbag in August 2017. Jackson was wrongfully accused of false extortion after the scandal.

In 2020, Sabbag also sued Hart alleging he was aware that their consensual sex in a Las Vegas hotel in 2017 was being filmed. However, the $60 million lawsuit was dismissed. The California judge said the suit was "brought in the wrong venue."

Jackson clarified that Hart did not personally accuse him, but the "Man From Toronto" star "contributed to the initiation of these false claims." The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office reportedly raided his place following an extortion report "falsely reported" by Hart and his team.
