In a shocking turn of events, comedian Kevin Hart files lawsuit at controversial YouTuber Tasha K, known off-screen as Latasha Kebe, following a scandalous interview with Hart’s ex-assistant, Miesha Shakes.
The legal saga unfolds from an explosive interview where Shakes spilled the beans on Hart’s alleged infidelity, claiming he cheated on his wife Eniko Parrish right in his office. Shakes also dropped bombshells about Hart’s supposed gambling problem, adding more fuel to the already blazing rumors.
Hart is not taking these allegations lightly. The comedian is hitting back with a legal arsenal, suing Tasha K and her company, Kebe Studios LLC, on charges ranging from defamation and civil extortion to breach of contract and invasion of privacy.
The controversy takes a darker turn with an alleged attempt at extortion. After the interview, someone linked to Tasha K reportedly demanded $250,000 from Hart, threatening to release the damaging interview. Quick on their feet, Hart’s team involved law enforcement, issuing a cease and desist letter that underscored Shakes’s previous signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement during her tenure from 2017 to 2020.

Despite legal warnings, Tasha K defiantly proceeded to post a teaser of the interview, boasting about its potentially damaging nature. The full interview made its way to her subscription-based website on December 22, creating a whirlwind of legal chaos.
This legal showdown is not Tasha K’s first rodeo. Hart’s legal team is highlighting her track record of dishing out “defamatory and improper content” about celebrities. Notably, she faced a hefty defamation lawsuit by Cardi B in 2019, resulting in damages exceeding $3 million.
In the current lawsuit, Kevin Hart seeks damages for a range of offenses, including intentional interference with contractual relations. The comedian is gunning for compensation covering general and compensatory damages, as well as legal fees.
As the legal battle unfolds, representatives for both Kevin Hart and Tasha K remain tight-lipped, refusing to comment on the escalating drama. This clash between comedy and controversy showcases the growing intersection between celebrity private lives and the digital age, with legal repercussions becoming the norm rather than the exception.
