Kevin Hart Seeks Restraining Order Against Blogger Tasha K

Comedian
Kevin
Hart
initiated
legal
action
against
gossip
vlogger
Tasha
K,
alleging
extortion
attempts
following
an
unflattering
interview
with
his
former
personal
assistant.
Despite
Hart’s
requests,
Tasha
K
has
not
removed
the
video,
leading
Hart
to
seek
further
legal
recourse.

According
to
Radar
Online,
Hart
has
requested
a
temporary
restraining
order
to
compel
Tasha
K
to
remove
the
video
of
her
interview
with
his
ex-assistant
Miesha
Shakes.
Hart
claims
the
interview
contains
defamatory
statements
that
threaten
his
reputation
and
career.

Court
documents
reveal
that
Hart
filed
a
declaration
as
part
of
his
lawsuit
against
both
Tasha
K
and
Miesha
Shakes.
He
alleges
that
the
interview,
posted
on
Tasha
K’s
YouTube
channel,
features
numerous
false
claims
by
his
former
assistant.
Hart
recounts
that
before
the
video
was
uploaded,
an
associate
of
Tasha
K
proposed
to
withhold
the
video
for
a
$250,000
payment,
an
offer
Hart
declined
and
responded
to
by
contacting
the
police.

Despite
receiving
a
cease
and
desist
letter
from
Hart’s
lawyer,
Tasha
K
proceeded
to
publish
the
interview.
In
response,
Hart
filed
a
lawsuit
accusing
her
of
civil
extortion
and
defamation.
The
lawsuit
states,
“[Tasha]
has
an
established
history
of
posting
defamatory
and
otherwise
improper
content
regarding
celebrities.”

In
his
declaration,
Hart
emphasizes
the
impact
of
these
allegations
on
his
career,
particularly
given
his
involvement
in
family-oriented
projects
like
the
‘Jumanji’
franchise,
‘Fatherhood,’
‘Captain
Underpants,’
and
‘The
Secret
Life
of
Pets.’
He
also
mentions
his
role
as
a
spokesperson
for
various
national
brands,
which
depend
on
the
public
perception
of
his
reputation,
respectability,
and
character.

Hart
disclosed
that
Miesha
Shakes
was
employed
by
him
from
August
2017
to
October
2020.
As
part
of
her
exit
agreement,
he
agreed
to
provide
her
with
$30,000
per
year
and
health
insurance
for
three
years.
Hart
asserts
that,
in
addition
to
discussing
private
matters
in
breach
of
their
non-disclosure
agreement,
Shakes
made
blatantly
false
statements
in
the
interview,
including
an
accusation
that
he
secretly
recorded
a
sexual
encounter
and
faced
criminal
charges
related
to
the
incident.
Hart
denies
these
claims,
stating
he
never
made
such
a
recording
nor
faced
any
criminal
charges
in
connection
with
the
alleged
incident.

As
of
now,
a
judge
has
not
yet
decided
on
Hart’s
motion
for
a
temporary
restraining
order.
