Kevin Hart, a name synonymous with laughter and entertainment, finds himself embroiled in a complex legal battle that reveals a darker side of fame.
Recent court documents, obtained by RadarOnline.com, disclose the comedian’s confession of being under the influence of MDMA, commonly known as molly, during a night that led to a scandalous affair and a lawsuit that continues to haunt him.
In a deposition taken in September 2017, Hart admitted to being high on molly when he cheated on his then-pregnant wife, Eniko Parrish. The events unfolded in Las Vegas, where Hart, pressured by friends, decided to indulge in the drug.
What began as a night of partying ended in a scandal that would not only strain his marriage but also lead to a lawsuit involving a former friend.
Hart’s account of the night is both candid and troubling. “My friend said, ‘Kev, do you do molly?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t really f— with drugs like that. I said, ‘Man, I haven’t done that sh– in years,'” Hart revealed under oath.

Despite his initial reluctance, he eventually gave in, stating, “F— it, I said. And I put it in my drink, I had some water there. It was watered down…The night is good. As the night goes, I’m now with the girl Montia at the end of the night, okay?”
The woman Hart refers to is Montia Sabbag, who became an unwitting participant in a scandal that would soon dominate headlines. The comedian clarified that he did not engage in sexual activity with Sabbag that night, but rather the following morning.
“I did not have sex with [Montia] that night. I had sex with her the following morning. She woke me up,” Hart admitted.
The incident took a more sinister turn when the sexual encounter was allegedly recorded on a hidden camera and subsequently leaked online.
The release of the sex tape sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and led to a series of legal battles, the most significant of which involved Hart’s former friend, J.T. Jackson.
Jackson, who was arrested in April 2018 on extortion charges, was accused by Hart of being involved in the release of the sex tape as part of an extortion scheme.
The arrest was a devastating blow to Jackson, who maintained his innocence and has since filed a $12 million lawsuit against Hart. Jackson’s suit claims that Hart “wrongfully accused” him, leading to the derailment of his career and significant emotional and professional setbacks.

Jackson’s legal complaint is scathing, accusing Hart and his team of fabricating evidence and providing misleading statements that led to his wrongful implication and arrest. “Hart and his team fabricated evidence and provided misleading statements that contributed and led to the wrongful implication and arrest of [Jackson],” the complaint states.
Jackson further alleges that Hart breached a 2021 settlement agreement regarding how the scandal was to be addressed publicly, arguing that Hart’s failure to use the agreed-upon wording could have exonerated him.
The fallout from the scandal has been severe, not only for Hart but for Jackson as well. Jackson’s complaint highlights the profound reputational damage he has suffered, along with significant emotional distress, professional setbacks, and financial losses.
The case, which was dismissed in 2021, remains a source of contention, with Jackson continuing to fight for justice and restitution.
For Hart, the scandal has been a sobering reminder of the consequences of poor decisions.
The comedian publicly apologized to his family for what he termed a “bad error in judgement.” In an Instagram video, Hart acknowledged the pain he had caused his wife, Eniko, who was just three months away from giving birth to their first child, Kenzo Kash, at the time of the affair.
Despite the turmoil, Hart and Eniko have worked to rebuild their relationship. The couple welcomed their son, Kenzo, on November 21, 2017, and have since appeared to move forward from the scandal.
However, the legal battle with Jackson continues to cast a shadow over Hart’s life, serving as a constant reminder of a night that changed everything.
In the world of fame and fortune, where the stakes are high, and the temptations are many, Kevin Hart’s story is a cautionary tale. It is a story of betrayal, both personal and professional, and of the far-reaching consequences of a single night of indulgence.
As the legal battle with Jackson unfolds, the world watches, reminded that even the brightest stars can fall, and that the road to redemption is often paved with challenges.
