This
is
no
laughing
matter,
to
say
the
least.

Kevin
Hart
pleaded
with
a
judge
to
approve
a
temporary
restraining
order
against

Tasha
K
that
would
require
her
to
remove
an
interview
with
his
ex-assistant,

Miesha
Shakes.

the
comedienne
claims
is
riddled
with
defamatory
claims.

According
to
documents
secured
by

Radar
Online,
Kevin
stated
his
career
and
reputation
were
on
the
line
in
a
declaration
filed
in
conjunction
with
his
lawsuit.
The
NACCP
Image
Award
winner
sued
Tasha
K
last
month
after
she
posted
the
interview
with
his
former
assistant.

The
44-year-old
asserted
Miesha
fabricated
much
of
the
information
she
shared,
in
addition
to
Tasha
K
attempting
to
blackmail
him.
Kevin
stated
that
before
the
messy
media
maven
released
the
video
on
her
YouTube
channel,
an
unknown
individual contacted
him
on
behalf
of
Tasha.

Kevin
claims
the
person
requested
$250,000
in
exchange
for
not
posting
the
video.
The
father
of
four
refused
to
tolerate
extortion
and
contacted
law
enforcement.
Kevin’s
lawyer
then
sent
Tasha
a
cease
and
desist
letter.

However,
she
ignored
it
and
posted
the
interview
despite
the
lawful
request.
The
funny
little
man
responded
with
a
lawsuit
for
defamation
and
civil
extortion.

The
lawsuit
stated,
“[Tasha]
has
an
established
history
of
posting
defamatory
and
otherwise
improper
content
regarding
celebrities.”

The
newly
filed
declaration
claims
the
actor’s
career
is
in
jeopardy
due
to
the
alleged
false
claims.

Kevin
wrote,
“Working
in
the
entertainment
industry,
my
livelihood
depends
in
large
part
on
my
reputation
and
the
public’s
perception
of
me.
That
perception
is
of
particular
concern
in
light
of
the
fact
that
I
am
involved
in
a
number
of
family-oriented
projects,
such
as
the

Jumanji franchise, Fatherhood, Captain
Underpants,
the
Secret
Life
of
Pets,
and
others.”

The
film
producer
added,
“I
also
endorse
various
national
brands,
and
those
endorsement
deals
depend
in
part
on
a
public
perception
of
my
reputation,
respectability,
and
character.”

The
declaration
revealed
Hart
employed
Miesha
from
August
2017
to
October
2020.
He
shared
that
as
part
of
her
exit
agreement,
he
would
compensate
her
$30k
annually
and
provide
health
insurance
for
three
years.

He
continued,
“After
my
refusal
to
pay,
the
interview
was
published.
After
its
publication,
I
watched
the
interview
and
saw
that,
in
addition
to
discussing
private
matters
in
breach
of
the
NDA,
Shakes
made
statements
about
me
that
were
simply
false,
including
that
I
supposedly
made
a
secret
video
recording
of
a
sexual
encounter
and
faced
criminal
charges
regarding
that
supposed
incident.

He
adamantly
added,
“I
did
not
record
any
such
video,
and
I
have
never
faced
criminal
charges
in
connection
with
that
alleged
incident
or
any
related
matters.”

The
voice
actor
is
awaiting
a
judge’s
ruling
for
the
temporary
restraining
order.

Tasha
can’t
seem
to
escape
court
as
this
lawsuit
comes
on
the
heels
of
Cardi
B’s.
As

BOSSIP
previously
reported,

Cardi
B
is
attempting
to
collect
on
a
$4
million
ruling
owed
to
her
by
Tasha
K.
The
rapper
sued
the
blogger
for
defamation
in
2019.
She
claimed
the
wanna-be
Wendy
Williams
enacted
a
“malicious
campaign”
against
her
to
damage
her
reputation.

Tasha
contended
the
rapstress
was
a
“prostitute,”
contracted
multiple
sexually
transmitted
diseases,
and
alleged
her
drug
use
likely
caused
her
daughter
Kulture
to
have
“intellectual
disabilities.”
