According to Hart’s complaint, Kebe intimidated him into paying by threatening to release the shocking interview if he didn’t. The document claims that in November, a person “affiliated with Kebe” contacted a Hart representative and informed them that Hart’s reputation would be damaged by the recorded interview.
“The individual stated that Kebe would publish the interview unless Hart paid a ransom of $250,000.”
According to the lawsuit, Hart called the police and gave Kebe a cease-and-desist order, requesting that she not release the interview. It stated that publishing the interview “would constitute intentional interference with contractual relations” and cited the nondisclosure agreement between Shakes and Hart.
