‘There’s More to the Story’: Kevin Hart Jokingly Blames This for Falling at Trainer’s Wedding

Usually Kevin Hart tells the jokes, but on Sunday at his fitness trainer Ron Everline’s wedding he was the joke.

During the reception, Hart got in the middle of a dance circle to showcase a few of his moves, and everything started out fine even though it was raining.

But all of a sudden the “Jumanji” actor slipped on the wet floor and landed on the backside of his gray slacks. He posted a clip of the spill to his Instagram page later that night.

“I figured that y’all should see it here first,” Hart captioned the video. “Dancing in the rain is never good. I blame @therealtank for doing this dumb ass sh–…f–k u and R&B….My hip is killing me. The entire crowd yelled out “OH NOOOOO” “Kevin Hart Just bust his ass” ….I didn’t no what to do so I faked an injury….jokes on y’all bitches because I ain’t hurt. Ha.”

The clip has already been viewed over 10 million times.

Then on Monday, Hart gave a little insight into why he fell, and he blamed it on what he says were his Ferragamo shoes splitting apart at the sole. It’s something he said on video with his wife Eniko Parrish right next to him.

“I took a spill at the reception, and the world thinks that my fall was funny, which it was but I just want to let you guys know there’s more to the story that you don’t know” he said. “I didn’t fall just because. I want y’all to look at the back of my damn shoe.”

Hart then pulled out the damaged shoes and showed the back of the sole was detached from the bottom of the shoe on both.

“What in the f–k is this?” he asked. “That’s why I went down. I’m the product of defective shoes. You just don’t fall like that on your own.”

Parrish eventually chimed in and said the shoes aren’t to blame, the wet floor is. She also claimed the damage to Hart’s shoes happened after the spill.

But the comedian disagreed and said he was sending the shoes back to where they came from. “Now, Ferragamo, I’ve been wearing y’all shoes for a long time. You make amazing shoes, but these are going back.”

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.
