The relations were consensual, but the filming was not — which is what the lawsuit Montia filed against Kevin is all about. She says she “had no knowledge that the intimate activity” depicted in the footage of her and Hart “was being recorded.”
And for that, according to the Daily Mail, Kevin was sued in Sept. 2019 to the tune of $60 million by Montia. She claims their encounter was a set up that was planned by him and his friend Jonathan Todd (J.T.) Jackson.
Montia’s claims include intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of privacy, and negligence. Her lawyer is high-profile lawyer Lisa Bloom, who has also represented the likes of Blac Chyna and Kathy Griffin.
“Montia Sabbag claims Hart knew their illicit encounter in a Las Vegas hotel room was being filmed and that Hart used the subsequent scandal for publicity to promote his Irresponsible Tour standup show and to increase his overall pop culture status,” Newsweek shares.
