Regarding his 2017 sex video incident, Kevin Hart is apparently being sued by old pal Jonathan T. Jackson.
Jackson is claiming, according to court records gathered by Entertainment Tonight, that Hart broke a July 2021 settlement deal they came to.
Jackson further says the deal “required Hart to pursue and advocate for the dismissal of all criminal charges against [him] and make a public statement exonerating him.” The outlet claims that once evidence of Hart having sex with a woman called Montia Sabbag leaked, Jackson became the target of an extortion investigation.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the pair’s settlement agreement ordered Hart to “go live and post a video on his Instagram account.” Additionally, Hart was to assert Jackson’s innocence in the matter.
Furthermore, Hart allegedly agreed that he would leave the post up “for at least 24 hours.”
USA Today reports that Hart did take to social media to share the video on October 27, 2021. However, Jackson believes that instead of forgiving him, Hart “willfully deviated” from explicitly mentioning that Jackson did not extort him.
“…J.T. Jackson has recently been found not guilty, and those charges have been dropped against him, and I can finally speak on what I once couldn’t,” Hart told viewers at the time. “I couldn’t do it because of the legal process. It kind of put a fork in the road between he and I, and that relationship is lost. But I’m glad that now I can finally not only speak on it, but I can say I’m happy that that chapter of my life is over…”
