Actor Kevin Hart said he is ‘lost for words’ and ‘hurt’ on Wednesday night after authorities announced charges against an old friend who allegedly tried to extort him. The comedian took to Twitter to describe his ‘complete’ disbelief 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.
He wrote: ‘Mind blown…Hurt…at a lost for words and simply in complete disbelief at the moment. WOW.’

Jackson, 41, was charged with attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter after threatening to release footages he secretly recorded of Hart having sex with a woman in Las Vegas, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. Jackson is accused of trying to extort an undisclosed amount of money from the Get Hard actor between 25 August and 30 August last year. Jackson allegedly had a video clip of the stand up comic with a woman in Las Vegas and tried to sell the recording to different celebrity news publications, prosecutors said. Last year Hart posted a video apology to his wife and children on Instagram, saying: ‘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. 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. ‘And I made a bad error in judgment and I put myself in an environment where only bad things can happen and they did.’ At the time, his wife Eniko Parrish was pregnant with their son Kenzo Kash. He also has a daughter and a son with ex-wife Torrei Hart.
