‘Ridiculous and Wrong’: Kevin Hart Insider Denies Actor Staged Sex Tape to Boost Career

Kevin Hart was sued by the woman who was in a sex tape with him, and she accused the comedian of being in on its recording and release. But a source who’s familiar with the situation said that claim is ludicrous.

Montia Sabbag is the woman who was in the tape, which was recorded in 2017 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and she’s suing Hart for $60 million.

It was later revealed that Hart’s former friend Jonathan Todd Jackson was accused of planting a camera in the hotel room and tried to extort Hart.

Jackson was eventually charged with attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter, both felonies. But he denied the accusation.

As for Sabbag, she claims that Hart conspired with Jackson to plant the camera and release the tape so he could further his career. She also said he wanted to be paid more for a comedy tour at that time and thought the tape would help.

She’s suing Hart, Jackson, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and the website Fameolous for negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

But the insider, who’s reportedly close to the “Ride Along” actor, said he would never do anything to further his career at the expense of his wife Eniko Parrish or his children. And to believe anything else would be “ridiculous and wrong.”

The insider also made some additional points as to why Sabbag’s claim doesn’t make sense. For one, Hart didn’t need to do anything to enhance his career in 2017, because he was already a huge star at that time.

Plus, cheating on your spouse, then having to apologize for it, which Hart did on video, isn’t the kind of thing that pushes one’s career forward, said the source.

But Hart has remained silent about Sabbag’s claims, and he’s presumably still on the mend from his car crash in Southern California earlier this month.
