NEW JERSEY, CALIFORNIA: 'RHONJ' star Melissa Gorga recently shared a post on social media, striking a pose with comedian Kevin Hart for Netflix's latest movie.

"And he's been to Epstein Island and he's an adulterer he's cheated on gods wife so much this is not a flex Melissa," said one user on Instagram about Kevin Hart.
"If you haven't, then you gotta watch the Kat Williams interview. Be careful who hang (sic) around," said another.
"Strange person to brag about being with," mentioned one user.
"He went to Epstein Island not a good luck," said another user.
"Just don't sell your soul keep your faith," wrote one user.
"Well. There goes that! Who the 'F' puts symbolism on napkins these days AND hang with that. False idolatry," added another user.
What is the ‘Jeffrey Epstein’ controversy?
In July 2019, financier Jeffrey Epstein faced arrest for sex trafficking and conspiracy. Despite a high-profile social circle, including figures like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew, he was denied bail before his trial.
Epstein's death in jail was officially determined to be a suicide by the NYC medical examiner. His ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, arrested in July 2020 for her involvement in his sex trafficking operation, was subsequently found guilty on five of six charges. In June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
In January 2024, court documents tied to a defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell were unveiled per a judge's directive.
These papers, originating from a resolved 2015 case, comprised testimonies from Epstein's victims, witnesses, and pertinent evidence.
What is the beef between Katt Williams and Kevin Harts?
The feud between Katt Williams and Kevin Hart traces back to 2014, ignited by a dispute over comedian Tiffany Haddish.
What started as a disagreement quickly evolved into a full-fledged comedic rivalry, playing out in public interviews, on social media, and even during their performances.
In a recent interview with 'No Holds Barred' with ClubShayShay and Shannon Sharpe, Katt Williams took the rivalry to new heights. Venting candidly, he targeted various comedians, including Steve Harvey and Chris Tucker.
Williams revisited accusations against Cedric the Entertainer for an allegedly stolen joke and, notably, labeled Kevin Hart as an industry "plant." According to Williams, Hart wasn't a self-made artist but rather hand-picked by Hollywood studios.
"No one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Williams told Sharpe.
