Kevin Hart's Alleged Extortionist: 'I Want To Expose Him As A Liar'

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.
