Kevin Hart is not playing any games! As previously reported, the comedian recently took legal action against controversial blogger Tasha K, alleging extortion and defamation. Hart initially claimed that Tasha K’s distasteful interview with his former personal assistant, Miesha Shakes, contained false and damaging statements. Despite his requests, Tasha K has refused to remove the video, prompting him to seek further legal recourse.
According to Radar Online, Hart has reportedlyrequested a temporary restraining order to compel Tasha K to remove the video of her interview with his ex-assistant. If approved, the order would require Miss K to immediately delete it from her platform.
Hart says that the interview contains numerous false claims made by his former assistant, Miesha Shakes, who breached their non-disclosure agreement by discussing private matters.

In his declaration, Hart accuses Tasha K of attempting to extort $250,000 from him in exchange for withholding the interview video. When Hart declined the offer and contacted the police, Tasha K proceeded to publish the interview on her YouTube channel, despite receiving a cease and desist letter from Hart’s lawyer.
Hart’s lawsuit against Tasha K includes charges of civil extortion and defamation. The court documents highlight Tasha K’s history of posting defamatory content about celebrities.In his declaration, Hart emphasizes the potential damage these allegations could have on his career. As an actor involved in family-oriented projects such as the ‘Jumanji’ franchise, ‘Fatherhood,’ ‘Captain Underpants,’ and ‘The Secret Life of Pets,’ Hart’s reputation and character are crucial. He is also a spokesperson for various national brands, which rely on the public’s positive perception of him.
Hart specifically denies two significant claims made by Miesha Shakes during the interview. Firstly, she accused Hart of secretly recording a sexual encounter, which he vehemently denies. Secondly, she alleged that Hart faced criminal charges related to the incident, which Hart states is entirely false. He affirms that he has never made such a recording nor faced any criminal charges in connection with the alleged incident.
Pending Decision:
As of now, a judge has not yet decided on Hart’s motion for a temporary restraining order against Tasha K. The outcome of this legal battle will have significant implications for both Hart’s reputation and Tasha K’s future as a controversial blogger.
Kevin Hart is just one of a few celebs who have threatened to take legal action against Tasha K. Cardi B successfully went through a legal battle with her after suing the YouTuber for defamation. The rap star won a total of $4m which she is still trying to collect to this day.
