The model who appeared with comedian Kevin Hart in a 2017 sex tape is suing the "Jumanji" actor for $60 million.

Montia Sabagg 28, claims that she did not give her consent to being recorded having consensual intercourse with Hart in a Las Vegas hotel room, in the 38-page lawsuit reviewed by E! News. In the documents, apart from Hart, Jonathan "JT" Jackson, the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and other related companies have been accused of intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of privacy and negligence. 

The suit claims that Sabagg "had no knowledge that the intimate activity" was being secretly recorded, which depicted her "naked from the waist down and engaged in private, consensual sexual relations with Hart."

 

It further accuses Hart of wanting to drum up publicity for his the-then Irresponsible tour and to that end, conspiring with his friend, Jonathan - who allegedly "set up a hidden video recording device" in the hotel room where he was having sex with Sabagg - "for the purpose of obtaining tremendous financial benefit for himself." 

When the news of sex tape became public last year, Hart issued a public apology via social media, directed at his wife, Eniko Hart, and kids.

"I'm at a place in my life where I feel like I have a target on my back and because of that, I should make smart decisions. And recently, I didn't," he said. "You know, I'm not perfect. I'm not going to sit up here and say that I am or claim to be in any way shape or form. I made a bad error in judgment and I put myself in a bad environment where only bad things can happen and they did. And in doing that, I know that I'm going to hurt the people closest to me, who've I talked to and apologized to, that would be my wife and my kids."

Lisa Bloom (L), lawyer for Montia Sabbag, speaks regarding the alleged attack on her client's character after accusations that Sabbag attempted to extort comedian Kevin Hart during a press conference held at The Bloom Firm September 20, 2017 in Woodland Hills, California.

He also accused Sabagg and Jonathan of extorting him for money due to the sex tape. While the model held a press conference alongside celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom to deny the extortion accusations, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office charged Jackson with attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter. The case is still ongoing.
