Kevin Hart is caught in an extortion scandal after an unnamed woman released a video “exposing” the comedian as a cheating liar. The video released was not a sex tape.
The suspect went as far as to calling the comedian a cheater and to own up to his mistakes. According to TMZ, the video was under five-minutes long and was highly produced. It included audio clips from Hart’s appearances on radio shows. At one point it cuts to a bedroom scene where two people appear to be having sex. It’s unclear who they are until a man who looked like Hart was seen walking through the room.

But sources close to Hart said that his hurricane relief efforts had nothing to do with the extortion attempt. She wanted to get paid for exposing Hart’s dirty laundry to the public.
