Kevin Hart Files Lawsuit Against Former Assistant Over Interview With YouTuber Tasha K

Hart's suit against his ex-assistant accuses her of breaching her confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements.

Kevin Hart has taken legal action against his former assistant. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, revolves around an interview conducted by Hart’s former personal assistant, Miesha Shakes, during which she accused the Hollywood star of infidelity.

In this online interview, published on Tasha K’s Instagram account and YouTube channel “Unwine with Tasha K” on Dec. 22, Shakes made several damaging allegations against Hart. These allegations included claims of him having an affair at his workplace, as well as accusations of him suffering from a gambling addiction. Shakes further alleged that she had informed Hart’s wife, Eniko Hart, about these purported indiscretions.

His suit against Shakes accuses her of breaching her confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements by divulging confidential information about Hart’s personal and business matters, reported People, which obtained a record of the lawsuit.

“Notwithstanding the truth or falsity of any such statements, Shakes would only have had knowledge regarding such subjects as a result of her employment with Hart and Hartbeat,” states the complaint.

Shakes served as Hart’s personal assistant at Hartbeat Productions from 2017 to 2020. The NDA stipulated her payment of $90,000 over three years, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor also recently filed a lawsuit against Tasha K for alleged extortion. Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, is known for posting alleged defamatory content about celebrities. According to his complaint, an individual affiliated with Kebe contacted a representative of Hart in November, threatening to release the interview unless Hart paid a ransom of $250,000. Hart, refusing to succumb to the extortion, contacted law enforcement and sent Kebe a cease-and-desist order.

The lawsuit asserts that Kebe’s actions constitute extortion and intentional interference with contractual relations.
