New details have emerged in Kevin Hart’s 2017 sex tape scandal.

According to legal documents obtained by People magazine, the 45-year-old comedian admitted to using drugs just hours before he cheated on his then-pregnant wife, Eniko Parish Hart. The confession was revealed in Hart’s 2017 deposition transcript, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 6. During his testimony, Hart detailed a drug-fueled night that led him to have sex with Montia Sabbag.

At the time, Hart told DAI Robin Letourneau he was partying in Las Vegas with an unnamed friend, who offered him some MDMA — a stimulant/hallucinogen, that’s commonly called molly. Hart recalled telling the friend he wasn’t interested, as he didn’t “really f*ck with drugs like that.” The friend was allegedly relentless and reassured the Jumanji star he wouldn’t let him do anything untoward. Hart claimed he eventually succumbed to the pressure.

“F*ck it,” he recalled saying before putting the drug in his “watered-down” drink.

“Because it’s in my drink, [I thought] I’m fine,” he continued. “I’m fine with drinking. The night is good. As the night goes, I’m now with the girl [Montia Sabbag] at the end of the night, okay?”

Hart said he, Sabbag, and a woman named “Morgan” ended the night in his hotel room. He told Letourneau that Morgan eventually left while he and Sabbag fell asleep in the room.

“I’m knocked out. Nothing happened that night,” he claimed. “I did not have sex with that girl that night. I had sex with her the following morning. She woke me up.”

Hart claimed he had no idea that the sexual encounter was caught on a hidden camera.

The newly surfaced transcript is part of Jonathan “J.T.” Jackson’s $12 million lawsuit against Hart. About a year after Hart’s cheating scandal, Jackson was arrested and charged with multiple extortion counts related to Hart’s sex tape. Those charges were dropped in 2021; however, Jackson sued Hart last month, claiming the Borderlands star violated their “meticulously negotiated” settlement agreement.

Jackson said that under the 2021 deal, Hart was supposed to “issue a powerful public statement proclaiming [Jackson’s] innocence.”

According to the complaint, Hart was required to say the following: “I lost someone close to me that I loved and still have very much love for or high levels of love for and I’m proud to say that all charges against JT Jackson have been dropped and he is not guilty and had nothing to do with it and this matter at hand that once was so tough to deal with and so heavy for me and my household is now put to bed.”

Instead, the comedian took to Instagram to say Jackson had “been found not guilty” because “those charges have been dropped against him.” The plaintiff argues that Hart’s wording didn’t clear his name or “restore his reputation.”
