In the last few hours, a lawsuit was filed by the renowned actor Kevin Hart against the controversial Youtuber Tasha K for extortion and defamation after conducting an interview with the former assistant of the interpreter and asking for a reward of a high figure to keep this information hidden.
According to the statement of claim, last November, the former assistant Miesha Shakes and the controversial Youtuber LaTasha Kebe met in an interview where they would make “false and defamatory statements about Hart” and then threatened the actor with “publishing the interview unless Hart paid a ransom of $250,000“.

In addition, they informed the comedian that the stories told in the interviews would “damage his reputation” and would be related to his marriage and business, in addition to revealing that he has been in several legal disputes and is addicted to gambling.
The actor also plans to sue his former assistant for breach of contract, as she signed a confidentiality agreement during their working relationship, both women for invasion of privacy, and Kebes for intentional interference with contractual relations.
