Kevin Hart Sex Tape Saga: Former Friend Files $12 Million Breach of Contract Lawsuit

Kevin Hart's former friend files a $12 Million breach of contract lawsuit against the star, alleging Hart failed to "exonerate" him in sex tape saga.

He admitted to a “bad error in judgment” and vowed he would “not allow a person to have a financial gain off of my mistakes.” The post led someone using the Instagram handle Misterjood to leave a public comment that said, “Give me $5 Million or I’m releasing the video. Jackson alleges Hart’s camp misled investigators about key evidence shortly before more than a dozen armed law enforcement officers kicked down his door with guns drawn and raided his home on January 23, 2018.
