Jonathan “JT” Jackson has filed a lawsuit against Kevin Hart, alleging that the comedian fabricated evidence in his 2017 extortion case and breached a subsequent contract. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, claims that Hart and Jackson signed a settlement agreement in July 2021, where Hart was supposed to issue a public statement proclaiming Jackson’s innocence in the sex tape scandal. However, Jackson alleges that Hart's statement fell short of clearing his name unequivocally.
Despite the extortion charges against Jackson being dropped in September 2021, he further claims that Hart fabricated evidence that led to his arrest in April 2018. Hart allegedly presented an email demanding bitcoins to prevent the release of more of the sex tape, which forensic experts later determined to be fabricated.
