One day after Kevin Hart issued a public apology to his pregnant wife Eniko Parrish and his two children from his first marriage, the FBI has identified the suspect who was blackmailing the comedian.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources said the suspect contacted the Ride Along star’s reps and demanded up to $10 million dollars to keep the footage under wraps. Sources also told the gossip site that the extortionist is either the woman shown in the video or someone who got a hold of the iPhone that recorded the tryst.
In addition, the FBI also knows the name of the woman in the videos, however none of the sources will say if Hart is actually the man featured in this particular footage.
As we wrote earlier, sources who have seen the videos told TMZ there are several clips of the following:
- A woman and Kevin in a club getting cozy. The tape then cuts to a bed, where you hear creaking of what could be sex.
- Second clip where you don’t see Kevin.
- The 3rd clip shows 2 people milling around a room, one of them looks vaguely like Kevin.
In case you didn’t know: Videotaping someone without their consent is illegal, so is extortion.
But apparently this person didn’t care: She was on a mission to expose the actor as a “liar.”
“The real reason Kevin Hart orchestrated the Texas Hurricane Relief Fund, this so-called good deed was done to get ahead as he knew this damaging footage was one click away from being exposed as the liar and cheater he is,” the woman recently told TMZ.
She added: “Kevin Hart was privy to me wanting to expose him as I have made countless attempts to expose this information to various blogs, in an attempt to also get paid.”
However, sources connected to Hart told TMZ that his hurricane relief efforts had nothing to do with the extortion attempt or this video.
All we know is that somewhere his first wife Torrei Hart is like this:

In the past, Kevin Hart has always been one to deny rumors that he was cheating on his pregnant wife Eniko Parrish, but now he is publicly apologizing.
According to E Online, the comedian took to social media on Saturday to “publicly and profusely” say “sorry” to Parrish and his kids, Heaven Hart and Hendix Hart from a previous marriage, for past “bad” behavior.
“I’m at a place in my life where I feel like I have a target on my back and I should make smart decisions and recently I didn’t,” said the actor.
“I made a bad error in judgement and put myself in an environment where only bad things can happen and they did,” he confessed.
“And doing that I know that I am going to hurt the people closest to, whom I have talked to—my wife and my kids.”
The Ride Along star ended the video with the following: “At the end of the day, I just have to do better. But I am not going to allow a person to make financial gains over my mistakes.”
In addition to the video, Hart wrote, “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.”
Interesting. Why the sudden confession?
TMZ reported that Hart was being extorted by someone who has a suggestive video of the comic. Hence the “person to make financial gains over my mistakes.”
Sources who have seen the videos, that were recorded while being propped against an object in the bedroom, told TMZ there are several clips of the following:
- A woman and Kevin in a club getting cozy. The tape then cuts to a bed, where you hear creaking of what could be sex.
- Second clip where you don’t see Kevin.
- The 3rd clip shows 2 people milling around a room, one of them looks vaguely like Kevin.
Bloop!
Back in July we reported that the Internet lost its collective mind when RadarOnline published images and video of Hart outside his Miami Beach hotel in a Lexus around 5am with another woman. Depending who you ask, it appeared that they were making out. Hart’s response at the time? He laughed it off.
Guess he’s not laughing anymore.
