Kevin Hart Claims Alleged $250K Extortion Attempt By Tasha K Associates In Latest Legal Fiasco

Kevin Hart’s suing his ex-assistant for $50K after she spilled on Tasha K’s platform, and it’s just the latest disaster connected to the controversial blogger.

Kevin Hart is taking his ex-assistant to court for $50,000 after she ran her mouth about his personal details to whom else? Tasha K.

Miesha Shakes, who worked for Hart from 2017 to 2020, appeared on Tasha K’s podcast and revealed information about his private life, violating a confidentiality agreement they’d signed.

Hart’s legal team is now demanding the full 50 racks as a penalty that was outlined in their original NDA, according to TMZ.

What makes this even messier is that Hart claims Tasha K’s associates tried to extort him for $250,000 before the interview even aired.

He says someone connected to Tasha K called him demanding the loot to keep the segment off the air, and when he refused, he reported the alleged extortion to police and sent cease-and-desist letters.

The interview ran anyway, and now Hart’s pursuing damages in court. This is the kind of pattern that keeps following Tasha K around.

Speaking of which, Tasha K’s got her own legal problems stacking up fast.

She’s currently fighting a nearly $4 million judgment from Cardi B over a defamation case, and she’s been claiming financial hardship to try to reduce what she owes.

Cardi B isn’t having it, though. The rapper is aggressively pursuing a full judgment and has even filed a federal lawsuit against Tasha K’s husband, Cheickna Kebe, alleging he’s been helping to hide assets to avoid payment. Cardi’s not letting this slide.

Tasha K’s guests are also taking major losses. Bilaal Salaam, who’s known as Will Smith’s ex-best friend, appeared on Tasha K’s podcast and made allegations about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Now he’s facing multiple lawsuits and is certified homeless, receiving welfare benefits. He’s begging a judge not to make him pay over $32K in legal fees to Jada Pinkett Smith, claiming he’s got nothing left.

The guy went from being close to one of Hollywood’s biggest names to living on the streets, and his appearance on Tasha K’s platform only made things worse for him.
