In a recent court filing, comedian Kevin Hart has escalated his legal dispute with entertainment commentator Tasha K, also known as Latasha Kebe. The 44-year-old actor is currently pursuing a defamation and extortion lawsuit against Tasha K, alleging an attempt to extort $250,000 from him. The lawsuit stems from a warning by a member of Tasha's team, threatening to release a damaging interview featuring Hart's former assistant, Miesha Shakes.
Hart's legal action was prompted by the alleged offer from Tasha's team to sell the interview footage for a quarter of a million dollars. Despite Tasha's denial of the extortion allegations, Hart has taken a significant step by including a new defendant in his lawsuit—Yelen Entertainment LLC, an alleged affiliate company of Tasha K.
According to reports from RadarOnline, Hart's legal team contends that Yelen Entertainment LLC is owned by Tasha's husband and is "responsible for content [Tasha] publishes." They further argue that Yelen was established as a "successor entity to Kebe Studios," Tasha's previous media company.
This latest development suggests that Hart is aiming to broaden the scope of the lawsuit, potentially putting more of Tasha K's assets at stake. The inclusion of Yelen Entertainment LLC suggests a strategic move by Hart's legal team to link Tasha's alleged affiliate company to the defamation and extortion claims.
As the legal battle unfolds, the public awaits further details on the intricacies of the case and whether this addition to the lawsuit will have a substantial impact on the outcome. The drama surrounding Kevin Hart's legal actions against Tasha K continues to draw attention, leaving many wondering how this high-profile dispute will ultimately be resolved.
