Jonathan “J.T.” Jackson is implicated as the mastermind behind the sex tape scandal and subsequent blackmail attempt against Hart.

He mentioned, “I thought it was fine since it was in my drink. The night seemed good. Eventually, I found myself with the girl [Montia Sabbag] by the end of the night,“.

Hart revealed that he admitted to infidelity once the extortion threats surfaced, issuing a public apology to his family in a 2017 Instagram post, acknowledging, “I made a grave mistake in judgment, placing myself in a precarious situation with unfavorable outcomes,“.
