Kevin Hart Accuses Ex-Assistant of Eavesdropping On His Private Conversations By Listening 'Through Walls' in Bombshell Lawsuit Against Blogger Tasha K
Hart deflected questions regarding his association with Diddy.
Kevin Hart claimed that his former assistant not only made "false and defamatory" statements about him during her explosive sit-down with blogger Tasha K, but also allegedly eavesdropped during some of his private "interactions."
The comedian remains embroiled in legal drama with Tasha K, her company Yellen Entertainment, and his ex-staffer Miesha Shakes for alleged civil extortion, RadarOnline.com can confirm.
The comedian revealed the details in a 2017 deposition that came to light in Jackson's new lawsuit.
Shakes worked for Hart from August 2017 to October 2020 and allegedly spread malicious lies about the box-office sensation during the interview.
Hart stated that a show associate reached out to his team before the interview went live, claiming they asked for $250k in exchange for the video not going up.
Hart noted in a new filing obtained by RadarOnline.com that after he refused to pay, the video was published on Dec. 22. He claimed that Shakes made inaccurate claims throughout, including that he supposedly "made a secret video recording of a romantic encounter I had in Las Vegas 2017 and that I faced criminal charges regarding that surreptitious recording."
He said Shakes must have listened through walls in order to get some of the info she shared.
"I did not record any such video, and I have never been criminally charged with doing so," the Jumanji star declared.
Hart then accused Shakes of divulging "private information" that was not publicly available or known. "For example, she spoke about my interactions with my wife during the time period after revelations regarding the Las Vegas incident had come to light," the court filing stated.
According to the docs, he vented, "I understand from speaking with my security personnel, and Shakes admitted during the interview, that Shakes obtained some of the information she discussed in the interview by covertly listening through the walls, with her ear to the wall, to private interactions occurring behind closed doors at our offices."
"For example, she spoke about my interactions with my wife during the time period after revelations regarding the Las Vegas incident had come to light," the court filing stated.
