Kevin Hart’s Former Assistant Seeks Testimony From 2017 Sex Tape Partner in NDA Lawsuit

Miesha Shakes, a former assistant to comedian Kevin Hart, is seeking to involve Montia Sabbag in an ongoing legal battle over a non-disclosure agreement. According to court documents filed on October 7, 2026, Shakes intends to depose Sabbag—the woman at the center of Hart’s 2017 sex tape scandal—to challenge the comedian’s breach of contract claims.

The current litigation stems from a lawsuit Hart filed against Shakes, alleging she violated a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) by discussing private information during an interview with social media personality Tasha K. Shakes is now moving to void that agreement, arguing that Hart failed to uphold his own obligations under the contract.

is moving to void her non-disclosure agreement, arguing Hart failed to uphold his duties.

Shakes’ legal team aims to question Sabbag regarding the 2017 incident in Las Vegas and the subsequent investigation into the surreptitious recording. By revisiting the details of that scandal, Shakes intends to establish that Hart’s own conduct or failures in his contractual duties effectively nullified the NDA she signed during her employment.

The 2017 scandal involved a video recorded in a Las Vegas hotel room without the consent of Hart or Sabbag. While Hart publicly apologized to his family at the time, the incident triggered years of litigation. Sabbag originally filed a $60 million lawsuit against Hart in 2019, which was eventually dismissed.

Efforts to revive that specific litigation have been unsuccessful. In February 2024, a judge denied the reinstatement of Sabbag’s lawsuit, maintaining the previous dismissal.

The move to bring Sabbag into the Shakes case suggests the 2017 events remain a central point of contention for Hart’s legal team nearly a decade later. If the court allows the testimony, it would force a public re-examination of the investigation into the tape as part of Shakes’ defense against the breach of contract allegations.
