Kevin Hart's former friend files a $12 Million breach of contract lawsuit against the star, alleging Hart failed to 'exonerate' him in sex tape saga.
Kevin Hart attends Netflix Is A Joke Fest's"The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady" at the Kia Forum on May 5, 2024 in Inglewood, California.jumped on Instagram three years ago to discuss his bizarre 2017 sex tape scandal and the related felony extortion charges filed — and eventually dropped — against his friend Jonathan “J.T.” Jackson, the superstar comedian said he was happy to be “moving on” from that chapter in his life.
In his Instagram video, Hart instead said, “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 noted that their friendship “was lost,” but the statement appeared neutral. “It’s over, and I’m happy that it’s over,” he said about the saga. Hart did not include the line that Jackson “had nothing to do with it.
Eventually, the DA investigator who requested the search warrant admitted that the Misterjood message was a public comment, not a private message and that it was posted by someone as a response to Hart’s public apology video. It was never linked to Jackson. After this revelation, prosecutors dismissed one of the two criminal extortion counts. They eventually dropped the entire case.
In his complaint, Jackson says his career and reputation have suffered profound harm in the aftermath of the failed prosecution. He says more harm has resulted from statements made in Hart’s docuseries “Don’t F**K This Up,” a six-episode reality show following Hart’s life that premiered on Netflix in December 2019. In the series, which is still streaming, Hart reflects on the sex tape scandal and the end of his friendship with Jackson.
