Kevin Hart is facing a bombshell lawsuit from his former friend, Jonathan “JT” Jackson.
Based on the court documents obtained by In Touch, Jackson sued Hart for $12 million after he allegedly breached a written contract. He also accused the “Central Intelligence” star of fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In the lawsuit, Jackson said he has a “notable career in the entertainment industry, marked by significant achievements and contributions.” However, his reputation was unjustly tarnished due to a series of malicious actions by the defendants, leading to profound emotional distress, financial losses, and professional setbacks.”

According to Jackson, Hart was involved in a highly publicized sex tape scandal with Montia Sabbag in August 2017. Jackson was wrongfully accused of false extortion after the scandal.
In 2020, Sabbag also sued Hart alleging he was aware that their consensual sex in a Las Vegas hotel in 2017 was being filmed. However, the $60 million lawsuit was dismissed. The California judge said the suit was “brought in the wrong venue.”
Jackson clarified that Hart did not personally accuse him, but the “Man From Toronto” star “contributed to the initiation of these false claims.” The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reportedly raided his place following an extortion report “falsely reported” by Hart and his team.
