Kevin Hart admits to drug-filled night in Las Vegas before cheating on wife

In a transcription of the Fatherhood star’s deposition – filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 6 as part of Jonathan “JT” Jackson’s lawsuit against Hart and obtained by Page Six – Hart claimed his friend, whose identity he kept concealed, pressured him to do the drug despite telling him, “No, I don’t really f**k with drugs like that.”

“F**k it, I said, and I put it in my drink,” he told District Attorney Investigator Robin Letourneau during the deposition.

“I had some water there. It was watered down. Because it’s in my drink, I’m fine. I’m fine with drinking. The night is good.”

Hart, 45, goes on to describe meeting Montia Sabbag – the woman with whom he’d have sex with while in Las Vegas – and said he brought her and another woman named Morgan to his hotel room.

Eventually, Morgan left, the Ride Along star said in the deposition, and he and Montia fell asleep.

“I did not have sex with [Montia] that night,” he said. “I had sex with her the following morning. She woke me up.”

Hart details his and Montia’s romp and claims, in hindsight, he realised she was trying to “get closer to the [hidden] camera” that ultimately recorded a sex tape allegedly used to extort him at the time.

 

 

The Jumanji actor further alleged that he believed the camera was, in fact, hidden in advance by someone because he never felt Montia leave the bed.

Reps for Hart didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

About a year after the tape was filmed, Hart’s friend Jackson was arrested and charged with two felony counts of extortion. The charges against him were eventually dropped in 2021.

Jackson, however, filed a lawsuit against Hart last month, claiming the stand-up comic fabricated evidence and broke a subsequent contract.

According to Jackson’s lawsuit, he and Hart signed a “meticulously negotiated” settlement agreement in July 2021 that explained Hart would “issue a powerful public statement proclaiming [Jackson’s] innocence” in the sex tape scandal.

Jackson, 47, claimed Hart was supposed to say that “the incident” cost him “a very valuable friendship,” that he “lost someone close” to him whom he “loved,” that he’s “proud to say that all [the] charges against JT Jackson have been dropped” and that Jackson “is not guilty and had nothing to do with it.”

Instead, three months later, Hart wrote on Instagram that Jackson had “been found not guilty” because “those charges have been dropped against him.”

The Budz House actor felt Hart’s statement failed to “clear [Jackson’s] name unequivocally and restore his reputation.”

Jackson is seeking more than $US12 million in damages and a trial.
