A judge has refused Kevin Hart’s request to have Latasha “TashaK” Kebe to remove her allegedly “defamatory” interview with his ex-assistant Miesha Shakes.
Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff said the emergency request for a temporary restraining order did not include a transcript of the interview for him to review.
“Part of the problem I have is that there are no direct quotes of what occurred in the hour-and-a-half interview,” adding that the request was “just a really vague, overbroad request that doesn’t address actual malice.”
“There’s no questioning them. There are things said by the speakers that are illegal. It’s defamatory, it’s extortion, and it absolutely shows malice on their part,” Hart’s lawyer, Donte Mills argued. “Not once was there ever any claim stating that my client committed a crime until this video. I think that’s important. Adultery is one thing, but adultery is not illegal.”
Beckloff said Hart’s legal team could file a motion to submit the transcript under seal or a separate motion for a preliminary injunction.
