The American stand-up comedian, producer and actor, Kevin Hart, is being sued for $60 million by Montia Sabbag, the woman he allegedly appeared in a sex tape with two years ago.
Sabbag filed the suit, claiming that the sexual encounter with Hart in a Las Vegas hotel room was filmed without her knowledge or consent. She is accusing Hart of a number of charges including negligence, invasion of privacy, and infliction of emotional distress.
According to TMZ, Sabbag said her encounter with Kevin Hart was all planned by him and his friend, Jonathan Jackson who was arrested for extortion.
The comedian’s friend, Jonathan Jackson, was later arrested for allegedly trying to sell the footage and Hart claimed he was the victim of ‘extortion’.
Jackson, who denied ever extorting the comedian, was later charged with a two-count charge of extortion relating to alleged efforts to get money out of Hart to keep the tape under wraps.
After allegedly being extorted over the sex tape, Kevin Hart made an emotional public apology to his wife Eniko, where he said he had a “major lapse in judgement”.
