Kevin Hart admitted to dropping the hallucinogenic drug Molly the weekend he ended up cheating on wife Eniko in 2017 while she was pregnant with their first child.
In a deposition filed on Aug. 6 in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by Page Six, the “Fatherhood” star claimed his friend pressured him to use drugs despite his refusal.
“F–k it, I said, and I put it in my drink,” he told DAI Robin Letourneau during the deposition.
“I had some water there. It was watered down. Because it’s in my drink, I’m fine. I’m fine with drinking. The night is good.”
Hart, 45, goes on to describe meeting Montia Sabbag – the woman with whom he’d have sex with while in Las Vegas – and said he brought her and another woman named Morgan to his hotel room.
Eventually, Morgan left, the “Ride Along” star said in the deposition, and he and Montia fell asleep.
“I did not have sex with [Montia] that night,” he said. “I had sex with her the following morning. She woke me up.”
Hart details his and Montia’s romp and claims, in hindsight, he realized she was trying to “get closer to the [hidden] camera” that ultimately recorded a sex tape allegedly used to extort him at the time.
The “Jumanji” actor further alleged that he believed the camera was, in fact, hidden in advance by someone because he never felt Montia leave the bed.
Reps for Hart didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
About a year after the tape was filmed, Hart’s friend Jackson was arrested and charged with two felony counts of extortion. The charges against him were eventually dropped in 2021.
Jackson, however, filed a lawsuit against Hart last month, claiming the stand-up comic fabricated evidence and broke a subsequent contract.
According to Jackson’s lawsuit, he and Hart signed a “meticulously negotiated” settlement agreement in July 2021 that explained Hart would “issue a powerful public statement proclaiming [Jackson’s] innocence” in the sex tape scandal.
Jackson, 47, claimed Hart was supposed to say that “the incident” cost him “a very valuable friendship,” that he “lost someone close” to him whom he “loved,” that he’s “proud to say that all [the] charges against JT Jackson have been dropped” and that Jackson “is not guilty and had nothing to do with it.”
Instead, three months later, Hart wrote on Instagram that Jackson had “been found not guilty” because “those charges have been dropped against him.” The “Budz House” actor felt Hart’s statement failed to “clear [Jackson’s] name unequivocally and restore his reputation.”
Jackson is seeking more than $12 million in damages and a trial.
