R. Kelly Combats $10.5M Judgment, Believes He is Not Responsible for Threat Against ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ Screening

R. Kelly's Lawyer

R. Kelly is combatting a judgment in a lawsuit by women who stated he victimized them. According to TMZ, six women were awarded a collective $10.5 million for the attempted shutdown of the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries screening with his former manager, Donnell Russell.

In response, Kelly and his legal team stated they would have combatted the case if they were unaware. Kelly states he was too busy with the criminal cases and has difficulty keeping up with everything from his North Carolina prison cell.

Adding to the complexities of his situation, R. Kelly stated a transition in his legal representation may have also let lawsuits slip through the cracks. Kelly states he also relies on legal reps when he has them because “I cannot read or understand words beyond that of a grade schooler.”

R. Kelly also states Donnell operated independently and “for his own reasons.”

In November, R. Kelly initiated a lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of Prisons, claiming the agency leaked his private information to Tasha K.

The suit was filed in Chicago gedeal court, stating an agent at the Bureau of Prisons accessed the singer’s prison records, which also had phone calls with his lovers and lawyers, and sold them to Tasha K. Tasha K then used them online to her followers.

“The defendant United States of America breached its duty of care to the plaintiff when it allowed countless BOP officers to access plaintiff’s confidential information without any legal basis to do so,” Kelly’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean filed, according to Billboard.

Tasha K is also listed in the suit, stating she used her following to “harass the plaintiff” and caused “chaos in the plaintiff’s personal life.”

The suit also states that R. Kelly is fearful of speaking with his team due to the possibility it could be “released to the general public for mass exploitation.”

In August, R. Kelly wrapped up his most recent restitution bill. Following his high-profile criminal cases, Kelly still owed $506,950.26 to his victims. His next royalty check will cover the bill.

According to TMZ, Universal Music Group’s payout to R. Kelly was 567,444.19, more than enough to cover his remaining bill. Before the remainder goes elsewhere, UMG will direct a check to his restitution.

Blac Chyna Cheated On Her Ex With A Child Predator, He Alleges

Lil Twin Hector has had a lot to say about his ex Blac Chyna in recent days. Earlier this week, he accused her mother, Tokyo Toni, of sliding into his DMs with explicit selfies. He even later dropped off some receipts for the alleged exchanges. She denies ever sending him nudes, but he stands by his aforementioned claims. Now, the rapper has sat down with none other than Tasha K to reflect on his relationship with Chyna, revealing that at one point, the two of them were planning to have children.

Allegedly, however, he quickly reevaluated once he found out she was cheating. He claims that while the alleged infidelity was bad enough, the types of guys he accuses her of fornicating with really drove home his decision to take several steps back. Twin Hector says that one of the men was even “known around the block” for the worst reason, being a child predator.

Leave this man be.’ This b*tch still gonna go f***k him.” Hector continued, explaining that if the guy were a catch, he would have at least understood.

“It was just like the level of scum,” he added. “That you could even… What the f**k?” He claimed that at one point, he even had to confront the man for his predatory behavior, which she was allegedly made aware of.

Kevin Hart Accuses Tasha K Of Dodging “Financial Liabilities” With Shell Companies

Last month, Kevin Hart filed a lawsuit against Tasha K, accusing the internet personality of extortion. She filmed a damning interview with Miesha Shakes a few months back, in which his ex-assistant alleges that he cheated on his wife, has a gambling addiction, and more. Allegedly, her team later reached out to Hart threatening to release the interview unless he coughed up $250K.

“You have already engaged in criminal conduct and tortious acts that would entitle Mr. Hart to monetary damages against you should he elect to commence civil litigation regarding this matter,” the lawsuit reads. “To the extent that you do not cease and desist now, your liability for such monetary damages will increase, as will your exposure to criminal penalties.” Now, Hart has submitted an amendment to the original suit, adding Yelen Entertainment LLC as a defendant.

Hart’s team alleges that Tasha K’s husband, Cheickna Kebe, owns the company. They also believe that it’s “responsible for content [Tasha] publishes.” Hart claims that Yelen Entertainment is a “successor entity to Kebe Studios,” which Tasha K owned prior to her legal battle with Cardi B. According to the comedian, the company was allegedly formed in an attempt to “evade financial liabilities.”

In the suit, Hart’s team alleges that both Yelen and Kebe were “merely shell entities, and shams of one another, through which [Tasha] carried out her business in entity names, and that at all times mentioned, [Tasha] treated Kebe Studios and Yelen, and used the assets of Kebe Studios and Yelen, as her own personal property, and dominated, controlled and operated Kebe Studios and Yelen to conceal her wrongful activities, suit her personal convenience, and avoid obligations and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, owed to others.” What do you think of Kevin Hart suing Tasha K for alleged extortion?

Kevin Hart Sues Tasha K: Breaking Down The Lawsuit & Accusations

Throughout 2023, lawsuits were being filed across the entertainment world for various reasons. However, as the year came to a close, popular YouTuber Tasha K was served a lawsuit of her own by none other than actor and comedian Kevin Hart. The famed star of Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle sued Tasha K and his former assistant for defamation and extortion following one of the latest episodes of Unwine With Tasha K.

Of course, this isn’t the first time an A-List celebrity has taken Tasha K to court. In March 2023, a judge upheld Cardi B’s $4M defamation judgment against Tasha K. Being hit with another lawsuit just months after is certainly not a good look for the Internet personality. Kevin Hart sued on December 27, 2023, and this is still a developing story. Nevertheless, here’s what we know about the lawsuit against Tasha K so far.

The Allegations Against Kevin Hart

The root of the matter is an interview Kevin Hart’s former assistant recently had with Tasha K. The video was published on Tasha K’s YouTube and Instagram accounts on December 22, 2023. Miesha Shakes, who worked for Hart from 2017 to 2020, appeared on Unwine with Tasha K, and accused her former boss of several things, from impregnating a flight steward to regularly cheating on his wife. Speaking to Tasha K, Shakes said, “It is the time for Hollywood to hear this story. Especially because a lot of people are locked in non-disclosures and they are not able to talk and protect themselves, but you have to protect the person you’re working for. Where’s your protection?”

Chiefly, Shakes alleged that Hart had an extramarital affair, which she claimed she informed his wife Eniko about. Also, she claimed that Hart had a gambling problem. When Tasha K asked if Hart “gambled y’all money away and had to pay y’all half cheques,” Shakes affirmed it, saying “Yes, well, exactly.” This expectedly sent social media into a frenzy. 

Kevin Hart Responds With A Lawsuit Against Tasha K

Soon after the interview went live, Hart decided to take legal action against Tasha K and Shakes. The actor filed his complaint at the Los Angeles Superior Court. Subsequently, the document was obtained by PEOPLE, revealing information about the case.

According to the document, in November, an unnamed person  “affiliated with Kebe” reached out to a representative of Hart’s. This person allegedly informed Hart’s representative that an interview that “would be damaging to Hart’s reputation” had been recorded. Afterward, according to the document, “the individual stated that Kebe would publish the interview unless Hart paid a ransom of $250,000.”

Hart allegedly contacted the police after, issuing a cease and desist order to Tasha K. It highlighted the NDA between Hart and Shakes, citing that posting the interview would be a breach of contract on Shakes’ part. However, Tasha K went ahead to post the video, and Hart hit her with a lawsuit soon after. Now the YouTuber is clearly in some hot water, as onlookers wait to see how things will play out.

What’s Next For Tasha K & Miesha Shakes?

According to the file obtained, Kevin Hart is suing both Shakes and Tasha K for civil extortion, and invasion of privacy. Additionally, he has charged Shakes with breach of contract and defamation. Moreover, he is suing Tasha K for intentional interference with contractual relations. The infamous YouTuber has a reputation for airing allegations against celebrities that sometimes turn out to be false. Hart’s lawsuit even states that Tasha K “has an established history of posting defamatory and otherwise improper content regarding celebrities.” Overall, it’s not looking good for either of the two defendants, but the case could go either way. More information will be revealed in the coming days.

Tasha K & Cardi B Defamation Case: Blogger Dodging Nearly $4M Payment As Femcee Seeks Justice

Just a few months ago, it was surprising to see Cardi B and Tasha K seemingly putting their issues behind them in favour of peace. Because of her big heart, the “Be Careful” artist nearly went through with a major change in favour of the YouTuber. The latter was hoping to reduce her nearly four million dollar payment after coming out on top in their defamation lawsuit. However, when Cardi heard what Tasha had to say about another star – Will Smith – and his rumoured extramarital affairs with another man, she was decidedly less interested in cutting her nemesis any slack.

Now that the Unwine with Tasha K host is now facing another lawsuit, this one from Kevin Hart, HipHopDX reports that the rap diva is ramping up her efforts to secure her money. The outlet obtained documents that assert Tasha has nearly $30,000 in cash on hand, and that she spends over $20,000/month on luxuries like travel, eating out, and other categories of entertainment. Cardi is additionally seeking information on the blogger’s Georgia home and other assets at this time.

Back in the summer, the New Yorker and her legal team sent multiple subpoenas to five banking institutions. Elsewhere, Cardi addressed the I Am Legend actor’s situation on IG Live, saying, “I don’t like how I was fooled a couple of weeks ago. I don’t like what people be doing to Will Smith. I be feeling like Will Smith is very unproblematic and I feel like he got like a nice heart.

It’s hard to deny that the past few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for Cardi B. Rather than taking accountability for her feelings and allowing herself to move from a position of power, the mother of two is now blaming her fanbase for upsetting her.

Kevin Hart Sues Tasha K For Extortion Over Interview With Ex-Assistant

According to new legal documents obtained by The Blast, Kevin Hart has decided to take legal action against Tasha K. He recently filed a lawsuit against the gossip blogger, accusing her of extorting him for $250K. Allegedly, a representative of Tasha K contacted Hart’s team in November of this year, claiming to have a damning interview with an ex-assistant of his at the ready. He accuses her of threatening to unleash it should he not provide her with the money.

Tasha K was eventually hit with a cease-and-desist letter stating that she had no right to discuss Hart’s story. He further noted that he wouldn’t be paying her. Tasha K later shared a snippet of the aforementioned interview on her blog’s Instagram page. Hart’s team perceived this as a threat; suggesting that if she wasn’t paid, she’d release the full interview.

“You have already engaged in criminal conduct and tortious acts that would entitle Mr. Hart to monetary damages against you should he elect to commence civil litigation regarding this matter,” Hart’s suit reads. “To the extent that you do not cease and desist now, your liability for such monetary damages will increase, as will your exposure to criminal penalties.” Hart also argues that his ex-assistant, Melissa Shake, would be in hot water if the interview was released. According to him, she signed an NDA when she was employed by Hart.

In the interview, Shake makes various bombshell revelations about the beloved comedian, including that he’s allegedly a serial cheater. She accuses him of getting a steward on his private jet pregnant, fornicating with an Instagram model behind his wife’s back, and more. Shake also alleges that Hart struggles with a gambling addiction and that “poker is his game.” She claims that it once got out of hand, and he was allegedly unable to properly pay his employees.

Kevin Hart’s Former Assistant Makes Bombshell Claims About The Actor In Tasha K Interview

Kevin Hart’s alleged former assistant, Miesha, has sat down with Tasha K for a bombshell interview. Miesha alleged that Hart was a serial adulterer and went as far as to pull up the Instagram of an Instagram model she claimed to have told Hart’s wife that Hart was cheating with. Furthermore, Miesha claimed that Hart had gotten a regular steward on his private jet pregnant.

However, the bombshell claims didn’t end there. Miesha claimed that Hart had a serious gambling problem and that “poker is his game”. According to her, things once got so bad that Hart burned through his payroll and had to pay out half-checks to his various employees. Despite the inflammatory nature of Miesha’s comments, the veracity of her claims is yet to be determined. Furthermore, Hart is yet to release a statement about any of the allegations she put forth.

While the rumors from his former assistant are unconfirmed, Hart has been having something of a wild year. Hart suffered a spate of injuries after he attempted to run the 40-yard dash against a former NFL player. However, in the days after going public about his injury, Hart got very graphic about just how messed up his body was. This including talking about what was going on below the belt, not that anyone had asked.

“It’s f-cking bad. My d-ck looks like a thumb. Everything’s swollen,” Hart lamented in a video posted soon after he initially showed that he was in a wheelchair. Additionally, the comedian said that his “balls got big as hell” and that he was still currently unable to move his legs. Furthermore, he spoke on the state the injury has left him in. “Look at this shit,” he continued. “You know how long it takes me to get the fuck out of the car? I’m a mess.”

Sarunas Jackson Thinks Keke Palmer Owes Darius An Apology, Tasha K Chimes In

Last month, Keke Palmer filed for a restraining order from the father of her child, Darius Jackson. The performer accused him of physical and emotional abuse, also filing for sole custody of their one-year-old, Leodis. In a turn of events, the fitness trainer made similar allegations against Palmer last week, accusing her of domestic violence.

Reportedly, he filed a motion on December 15 for Palmer’s restraining order against him to be dropped. In his motion, he cites various alleged instances of abuse, including Palmer punching him in the face, calling him various names, and more. He also submitted some alleged text messages to back up his claims, which appear to show Palmer admitting to hitting him.

“I’m sorry for hitting you,” one of the alleged messages from Palmer to Jackson reads. She appears to continue, describing how she feels “ashamed” by her actions. Following this latest development, Jackson’s brother Sarunas has weighed in, reposting a Tweet claiming that Palmer owes Jackson an apology. “She had the sisterhood believing her baby daddy was violent and unfit to be a father,” it reads in part.

Tasha K came through with a similar take earlier today, as seen in a recent Tweet. “It’s sad to say, but #KekePalmer ain’t no different than that white woman that was involved with Johnathan Majors,” her Tweet begins. “She allowed the public to think that Darius was abusive all because HE DIDNT WANT HER anymore! The public emasculated him, called him broke, and all sorts of horrible things over a bitter woman NOT understanding her worth & value so much so she couldn’t fathom how dare a so-called BROKE man could walk away from a BROKEN woman!”

Tasha K Calls Keke Palmer A “Black Karen”

“This ain’t the first BLACK man that she has lied on or HIT allegedly!” she adds. “She is the face of a BLACK KAREN! I will apologize to Darius for all women! My sincere apologies Darius. This is for the culture! I too have a black son! That MAN, didn’t cheat, lie, or hit that little girl!” What do you think of Darius Jackson’s brother Sarunas’ take on the situation?

Brother Bilaal Doubles Down On Explosive Claims On Will Smith And Duane Martin, Says He Has Evidence

In a follow up statement, Brother Bilaal is doubling down on his initial claims. Brother Bilaal, the former assistant and friend of Will Smith, has doubled down on his explosive claims involving mega-stars Will Smith and Duane Martin. In an exclusive interview with gossip blogger Tasha K, Brother Bilaal opened up about the alleged scandal that has taken the entertainment industry by storm. He asserted in November that Will Smith and Duane Martin had sex. “The reason Will and Jada responded, they know its true,” Brother Bilaal said on the platform with Tasha K. “They responded in less than 9 hours. He knows what I saw in that dressing room. Jada listen, in 2 weeks, if you don’t sue me in two weeks, if Tasha K will have me, I’m back here and I’m dropping evidence.”

Brother Bilaal proceeded to call Jada’s bluff and encouraged her to sue him. He claims that he has evidence and that if she doesn’t take action against him, he’s going to reveal it. “You said I extorted you, you said it was a money shakedown,” he said, referring to Jada’s comments on Breakfast Club. “Let’s get into a little more of it. Jada, you a bald head liar and a drug addict. You told the world you were gonna sue me.” Despite vehement denials from both Will Smith and Jada, claiming that Bilaal just wants money, he remains confident in his allegations. He says he’s driven by a commitment to revealing the truth, allegedly.

Brother Bilaal Says He’ll Be Back With Evidence

The controversial remarks were first made in November, as HotNewHipHop previously reported. “I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room, and that’s when I see Duane having a*al s*x with Will,” Brother Bilaal disclosed in the interview. “There was a couch, and Will was bent over the couch, and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.” These graphic allegations have not only ignited a firestorm of controversy but have also thrust Brother Bilaal into the spotlight. However, social media has come to Will’s defense. “Rather it’s true or not we love Will. Thank you next,” one person commented.

While the sensational nature of the claims has led to skepticism in some quarters, the interview shed light on Brother Bilaal’s unwavering conviction. “Whew, that’s messed up. I wish people would leave Will & Jada alone,” another person wrote. “And???? Was anyone hurt ?? What’s his point sharing these Grown people business??? Is it gone take money out their pockets?? Will it take movie roles from Will?? It probably get him more roles in Hollyweird,” another said. As the controversy escalates, Brother Bilaal’s boldness has sparked criticism. Stay tuned to HotNewHipHop for updates to this story.

Tasha K Thinks Nicki Minaj’s Album Rollout Could’ve Been Better In This Way

Tasha K is as big of a Nicki Minaj fan as anyone, but even she has her reservations about the rollout of her new album, Pink Friday 2. Moreover, she took to Twitter to voice some of her concerns and critiques, particularly with the press run behind this project. Of course, the blogger made it clear that she loves the rapper’s work and what she stands for. In fact, it’s a big part of the reason as to why she would hold her up to a higher standard when it comes to what she represents, highlights, and platforms. Tasha thinks that Nicki could’ve done a better job of uplifting female voices in the media space, but chose not to for whatever reason.

“I love tf outta Nicki Minaj and I gotta say something,” Tasha K’s tweet began. “Her press run is dope but it would have been even more classic if she would have included a FEMALE Media VOICE for the culture! I didn’t see her sit down with NOT one WOMAN in a male dominated media industry! I’m not talking about me!

Tasha K Speaks On Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Rollout

“I’m talking about the same thing she faces is in a male dominated rap industry!” Tasha K continued. “Angela Yee, Sherri Shepard, Jennifer Hudson, and at least one NewMedia voice! Please don’y forget the Barbie’s in media that have to fight for the same rights as you! I’m in Africa on my vacation! Don’t forget about the female voices that disseminate too! If I’m wrong on this, and I missed something, I will apologize for my error!” Overall, she’s making quite an interesting point that others also levy at the Trinidadian MC when it comes to her rap collabs.

Meanwhile, we know that Tasha has some heavy beef with other male media figures, so this callout against that hierarchy is unsurprising. Still, what do you think about her comments on Nicki’s treatment or alleged erasure of female voices in music coverage? Does she have a strong point or is this all just looking too deeply into it because she’s such a huge star? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. As always, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj and Tasha K.
