After she allegedly threatened to release a bombshell interview with his former assistant unless he paid her a six-figure “ransom”, YouTuber LaTasha Kebe is being sued by millionaire comic Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart is suing YouTuber LaTasha Kebe.
The comic, 44, has taken a case of extortion against the influencer, known as Tasha K, after she allegedly threatened to release a bombshell interview with his former assistant unless he paid her a six-figure “ransom”.
According to a lawsuit obtained by Page Six, LaTasha sat down with Kevin’s former assistant Miesha Shakes in November to record a chat in which the latter made “false and defamatory statements regarding Hart”.
Kevin claims that after the interview an alleged associate of LaTasha’s called his team and threatened to “publish the interview unless Hart paid a ransom of $250,000”.
At the time, they allegedly warned Kevin the stories told during the sit-down, which were linked his marriage and business dealings, would be “damaging” to his reputation.
LaTasha is then said to have posted a “teaser” for the interview in which she and Miesha allegedly “touted the supposedly salacious and damaging nature” of the interview as a “threat to Hart” for not paying the “ransom” allegedly demanded.
The lawsuit said: “The teaser included a statement from Kebe at the 2:06 mark of the video specifically warning that, ‘When you don’t pay, we have to get money by any means necessary.’”
At that point, Kevin’s team allegedly contacted police and sent LaTasha a cease and desist letter, noting that Miesha had previously signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement as well as a Confidentiality Agreement while working for Kevin from 2017 until 2020.
But on 22 December 22, LaTasha allegedly told Kevin she would be posting the full interview, which went live that evening on her subscription-based website.
Kevin is now suing both women for extortion and invasion of privacy and suing Miesha for breach of contract and defamation.
