Woman caught on camera with Kevin Hart says she is a victim too
The woman who was secretly filmed getting intimate with Kevin Hart in the raging cheating scandal, Montia Sabbag has come out publicly to say she is not an extortionist.
The 27-year-old denied all the “lies written about her”.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Sabbag told Inside Edition that contrary to what people have said about her, she is “not a stripper” and was trying to set the record straight.
“I have involved with Kevin Hart a month ago,” she said. “Since then, my picture has been released with lies written about me.”
A video of the lady and Hart getting intimate in a room at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas recently surfaced online pitching the comedian in a center of a huge cheating scandal. The popular comedian and actor claimed someone tried to extort a reported $10 million by threatening to release the tape.
Sabbag denied being behind the plot.
“I had nothing to do with these recordings,” she said. “I’m sorry for any involvement I had in this.”
Sabbag is an aspiring singer and actress. She says she and the Ride Along actor got together in Vegas on the weekend of August 18.
Her attorney Lisa Bloom said the affair lasted just a few days.
In a statement, Bloom said: “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.”
Bloom, Sabbag’s lawyer, is suggesting that Hart should join them to go after the blackmailers.
“Kevin Hart appears to be the victim of this criminal just as Montia is the victim,” Bloom told Inside Edition. “We invite him to join us in going after the criminals.”
Sabbag is not looking for compensation from Hart.
“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,” Bloom said in a statement.
