    >The actor/comedian’s claims in the complaint, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by PEOPLE, are centered around an interview Shakes did with Latasha Kebe, aka Tasha K, published on Kebe’s Instagram and YouTube channel Unwind with Tasha K on Dec. 22. Both Shakes and Kebe are named as defendants in the lawsuit, and Hart is suing them for alleged civil extortion and invasion of privacy. He’s also suing Shakes for alleged breach of contract and defamation, and he’s suing Kebe for alleged intentional interference with contractual relations.
    Shakes worked for Hart’s company from August 2017 to October 2020, according to the complaint. In the interview — which was previewed with the caption, “The interview that Kevin Hart will WISH NEVER CAME OUT!!” — Shakes alleges that Hart, 44, cheated on his wife Eniko Parrish and had the affair at his office. Shakes also claims she told Hart’s wife that he was cheating on her, and that Hart had a gambling problem.

    >According to Hart’s complaint, the interview statements “that were false, including that Hart recorded a video of a sexual encounter, and that he faced criminal charges regarding that supposed incident.” Hart’s complaint also states that Kebe allegedly demanded money from him in November, threatening to post the interview if he didn’t pay her a ransom of $250,000. Hart allegedly then went to the police and issued a cease and desist order to Kebe, asking that she not publish the interview. The lawsuit also alleges that posting the interview violates the NDA between Shakes and Hart.
