A woman called Montia Sabagg has come forward as the woman that appeared in a leaked sexually explicit video with Kevin Hart.
During a press conference, Montia confirmed that she is the woman from the footage, but insisted that she had “nothing” to do with the recording, or the footage being leaked.
“My name is Montia Sabbag,” she said. “I was involved with Kevin Hart a month ago. Since then my pictures and my name have been released with lies written about me. I’m not an extortionist. I’m not a stripper.”
“I’m a recording artist and an actress and I have not broken any laws. I had nothing to do with these recordings. I hired Lisa Bloom solely to protect my legal rights. I am truly sorry for any involvement I had in this.”
According to TMZ, Montia’s attorney Lisa Bloom said, “I am very pleased to represent Montia Sabbag.”
“Montia is a crime victim. Someone apparently snuck cameras into Kevin Hart’s private hotel suite in Las Vegas and recorded bedroom images of the two of them. It is a crime to secretly put cameras in a private place like a hotel room.
“It is another crime to secretly record people in a private place. It is yet another crime to distribute those images. Montia is the victim of multiple felonies under state and federal laws.”
“Although it’s been reported that law enforcement is investigating, we have no evidence of that. Montia has not been contacted. Therefore, we are announcing today that we will be going to the authorities immediately to report this matter.”
“We want to be sure that these crimes are thoroughly investigated and that the criminal responsible for violating Montia’s rights is apprehended. We will fully cooperate with law enforcement.”
Her attorney also made it clear that Montia is not seeking money from the famous comedian.
“Montia and I are not asking for a cent from Kevin Hart. This is not about money. We are not suing him. We are not making any claims against him. Any reports to the contrary are false.
Kevin Hart appears to be the victim of this criminal, just as Montia is a victim of this criminal. We invite Mr. Hart to join us in bringing the perpetrator to justice. To those making malicious, false statements about Montia: do the right thing and stop.”
“If you do not, we intend to hold you accountable as well. To the criminal who did this, I say: you belong in prison, and we are going to find you. If anyone has information about this crime, please contact me at TheBloomFirm.com.”
Lisa Bloom also said that her client “does not have any idea who is behind this, but she is willing to cooperate with law enforcement and give them all the information about people who may have been there, who could be possible suspects…we don’t know sitting here today who it is.”
Lisa also confirmed that Montia had an “intimate relationship” with Kevin “about a month ago” at a hotel in Las Vegas.
The news comes after it was reported that Kevin’s pregnant wife Eniko Parrish has accepted his apology and is willing to move forward, after the movie star publicly apologised to his wife and kids in a video on Instagram.
