Tasha K is being hit with another lawsuit. According @blast, Kevin Hart is reportedly suing the controversial YouTuber for extortion after she allegedly threatened to release an interview with his former assistant who made some wild allegations about the comedian.
According to the legal documents obtained by the news outlet, Kevin hart and his team sent a cease and desist letter to the YouTuber on November 22 and told her that he was not going to pay a six figure fee in order to keep to the interview from going public.
The news outlet also revealed what was stated in the cease and desist letter which briefly reads, “You have already engaged in criminal conduct and tortious acts that would entitle Mr. Hart to monetary damages against you should he elect to commence civil litigation regarding this matter. To the extent that you do not cease and desist now, your liability for such monetary damages will increase, as will your exposure to criminal penalties.”
Hart’s legal rep, Donte Mills, says a person and Tasha K’s team told them that they would release the interview if the “Ride Along” actor paid $250K. The documents claim the act falls “under Penal Code Section 518” and that it “gives rise to both criminal and civil liability against you and anyone involved in your efforts to extort Mr. Hart.”
Thus, making Tasha’s alleged “effort to extract payment” from the father of four by “threatening exposure of information supposedly harmful to him is a textbook example.”
It also being stated that Hart’s team reported Tasha K’s action to the police and said that the interview “with Mr. Hart’s former assistant Miesha Shakes that supposedly includes scandalous assertions against him.”
Adding, “In advance of your threatened publication of the Story, you posted a “teaser” with Ms. Shakes on YouTube which clearly was intended as a threat, sending a message to Mr. Hart’s team that the more detailed Story would not be published if – and only if – the ransom is paid.”
His lawyers are also familiar with Tasha’s content and describes it as “defamatory and otherwise improper content regarding celebrities and other high-profile individuals.”
Tasha K has not responded to the lawsuit.
