Jackson is speaking for the first time publicly about the ordeal. In a new interview with Comedy Hype on YouTube, Jackson says Hart and his team used him to deter the narrative of Hart cheating.

Jackson further explains how Hart’s power and money assisted in him escaping accountability.
“Kevin got together a team of very powerful and well-known attorneys, together with his agents, managers, what have you, and they basically concocted a story to make Kevin look like the victim in the case,” he says.”
Jackson continuously denies any involvement in the sex tape scandal. Hart clearly believes otherwise.
