Kevin Hart says he was “hurt” and “lost for words” on Wednesday after authorities announced charges against an old friend who allegedly tried to extort him, according to TMZ.
“Mind blown…Hurt…at a lost for words and simply in complete disbelief at the moment. WOW,” Hart tweeted after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced charges against his longtime friend, Jonathan Jackson, who allegedly tried blackmailing the comedian last year.
“Jackson is accused of trying to extort an undisclosed amount of money from Hart between Aug. 25 and Aug. 30, 2017,” the statement said. “Jackson allegedly had a videotape of the actor with a woman in Las Vegas and then is accused of trying to sell the recording to numerous celebrity news websites.”
Jackson was arrested on Monday, according to jail records, and is being held on $100,000 bail. He could face up to four years in county jail, if convicted.
