Kevin Hart

TOPIC: Kevin Hart

(FYI: Hart is an American actor, comedian, writer, and producer who starred in 'Central Intelligence' and voiced George Beard in the 2017 'Captain Underpants' movie.)

FACT: A video of Kevin Hart actively cheating on his now pregnant wife has been released online, greatly disappointing Hart's fans worldwide and resulting in the comedian creating a public apology video for his wife and kids.

TMZ has reported that Kevin Hart was the victim of a multi-million dollar extortion attempt, which is a crime very similar to blackmail. The FBI is on the case and are said to already have a suspect in custody. Police have told TMZ that an anonymous person contacted Kevin’s team and provided a five-minute video showing Kevin and a woman in a sexually provocative situation including a bedroom scene, but that they can’t make out who exactly is in the bed.

The FBI know this anonymous person demanded a huge amount of cash in return for keeping the video private, and supposedly there were several demands and at one point the amount hit 10 million. The FBI are also convinced that it is either the woman in the video, or the person who recorded it that are making these high demands. And since the video was clearly recorded without Kevin’s consent, it’s illegal.

But Kevin’s problems are definitely far from over. On Saturday, September 16, he issued a public apology to his pregnant wife and kids via Instagram where he made a short video admitting to his wrongdoing. He captioned the video, “Sending so many apologies to my wife & kids. I gotta do better and I will. I'm not perfect and have never claimed to be ...I love you all.”

Though people applaud Hart for being honest, apologetic, and for telling the public more than they deserve to know, others are finding it harder to forgive the comedian and choose to stick by the famous phrase, "Once a cheater, always a cheater." But in addition to simply apologizing to his family, Hart didn't want someone to make financial gains from his big mistakes, which is why he would rather confess to his wrongdoing than to stay silent.
