When the sex tape of Kevin Hart and Montia Sabbag circulated back in 2017, in a press conference Sabbag’s lawyer said,
“Montia and I are not asking for a cent from Kevin Hart”
They emphasized Kevin Hart and Montia Sabbag both being “victims” of the incident. However, from the new lawsuits pressed by Sabbag on the 16th of September, it says otherwise.
According to the new lawsuits, Hart allowed the recording either “negligently or intentionally” because he “authorized, allowed, and otherwise permitted” access to their hotel room to his then-friend Jonathan Jackson.
Sabbag and her lawyer also stated that Hart “conspired” with Jackson to obtain”tremendous financial benefit” from the buzz of the sex tape. He then also used the incident to promote a tour he was making at the time time to “increase his overall pop culture status”.
Jonathan Jackson, who was accused of recording and publishing the tape, is to come as a defendant in Sabbag’s suit next week. Jackson was charged with an attempt to extort the comedian with the tape back in 2017. Jackson was in an attempt to sell the tape to various celebrity news websites.
The suit claims that Sabbag,
“had no knowledge that the intimate activity depicted in the video was being recorded. Had Ms. Sabbag known that her private sexual activities were being secretly filmed, she would not have engaged in any such activities. “
It also claims that the incident has caused and continues to be great emotional distress and embarrassment to Ms. Sabbag.
