Kevin Hart On Cheating Allegations: ‘All I Do Is Laugh’

Kevin Hart isn’t sweating those cheating allegations. In true #LiveLoveLaugh fashion, the comedian is taking the high road.

“[I’m] going to be honest with y’all people, I’m at a point where I can’t even be shocked no more. All I do is laugh, man,” Hart said in a Monday, Aug. 21, Instagram Story video hilariously punctuated by “Huhs.” “I had a person tell me what they felt was factual information about me while they were talking to me.”

That “factual information” seems to stem from a online back-and-forth between Hart’s ex-wife, Torrei Hart, and his current wife, Eniko Parrish. Celebrating their one-year anniversary, Parrish wrote on Instagram earlier this month that the pair had been together for eight years. Fans quickly noticed the Harts were divorced in 2011, leading Parrish to defend herself against accusations that she’s a homewrecker.

After explaining the Harts were separated before she got involved, People magazine reported Parrish blamed Torrei Hart for spreading the cheating rumors.

“Eniko, sweetheart, normally I don’t feed into this, but when you addressed me directly, you forced my hand to respond,” Torrei Hart said according to the publication. “We have made successful strides to become a loving co-parenting family, but you have now left it open for my character to be questioned. You, Kevin, and I know the truth.”

Unlike his ex-wife, Kevin Hart doesn’t seem the least bit bothered by the feud and rumors. The actor signed off by mentioning the personal stories he’s detailed in his New York Times best-selling book, “I Can’t Make This Up,” and in his stand-up specials.

“That’s what I love the most about stand-up comedy, man,” he said. “You got that microphone, you got that stage, you take advantage of it. This next hour will be my best hour yet because moments like this act as nothing but material for your boy.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
