Kevin Hart accused his best friend of 16 years of trying to extort him over a sex tape. His friend was arrested. Years later, every charge was dropped. In the video below, J.T. Jackson says Hart’s team offered him money to stay quiet, and reveals what he demanded instead. In 2017, Hart and Jackson went to Las Vegas together. Soon after, a secretly recorded video of Hart with another woman surfaced, while his wife was pregnant. Someone demanded millions to keep the footage private. Hart went public, apologized to his family and said he wouldn’t let anyone profit from his mistakes. In 2018, police arrested Jackson and charged him with extortion. He says he lost his career, his reputation and his peace of mind. Prosecutors dropped the extortion charges, and by 2021 the entire case was gone. Jackson says he agreed to a settlement under one condition: Hart had to publicly clear his name. He says Hart never said the one line he needed, that he “had nothing to do with it.” Now he’s suing Hart for $12,000,000. Hart has not publicly responded to his claims. If your best friend had you arrested for something you didn’t do, would you take his money and move on, or fight until he cleared your name
