Overview
- Hart filed a lawsuit that sought a pre-agreed $50,000 liquidated-damages payment after his former assistant, Miesha Shakes, spoke about his private life on Tasha K’s platform.
- The court filing, made June 19–20, 2026, also accuses Shakes of defamation and says the disclosures harmed his career and family-focused projects.
- Hart alleges an associate of Tasha K demanded $250,000 to keep the interview from airing, which he says he refused and reported to police before issuing cease-and-desist letters.
- Shakes disputes the agreement’s enforceability, telling courts she signed under financial distress and while dealing with mental-health issues, and earlier reporting described a separate settlement that included multi-year payments and health coverage.
- The case now turns on whether the NDA was valid and breached, with the legal fight carrying potential consequences for Hart’s endorsements and for how confidentiality deals are enforced in entertainment.
