Montia Sabbag admits intimacy with Kevin Hart, but denies any involvement in producing and using a tape that captures the pair together to extort the actor

The model at the center of Kevin Hart’s video scandal said Wednesday she’s no extortionist.
“I was involved with Kevin Hart a month ago. Since then, my pictures and my name have been released with lies written about me,” Montia Sabbag, 26, said at a press conference with her lawyer Lisa Bloom.
“I’m not an extortionist. I’m not a stripper. I’m a recording artist and an actress, and I have not broken any laws,” she said.
“I had nothing to do with these recordings,” she vowed. “I hired Lisa Bloom solely to protect my legal rights. I am truly sorry for any involvement I had in this.”

High-powered attorney Lisa Bloom said on Twitter Tuesday that she is representing the woman at the center of the scandal, whom she identified as Montia Sabbag.
Bloom said her client was “briefly” involved with the comedian last month, though she did not specify Sabbag’s role in the alleged extortion attempt.
“Although it’s been reported that law enforcement is investigating, we have no evidence of that.
While acknowledging that Sabbag and Hart had an “intimate relationship,” Bloom described her client as a “crime victim.”
She said someone “apparently” snuck cameras into Hart’s private hotel suite in Las Vegas and recorded “bedroom images” of her client with the comedian.

Lisa Bloom, who like her mom Gloria Allred has made a name defending women’s rights, recently represented Blac Chyna and actress Mischa Barton in their domestic violence restraining order cases, said her client plans to update authorities with what she knows and urge a thorough probe.
Montia has not been contacted,” Bloom said. “Therefore, we are announcing today that we will be going to the authorities immediately to report this matter.”
Bloom said her client had “no idea” who made the recording leaked to TMZ.com.
In contrast to an earlier report that when Hart’s representatives contacted Sebbag, she had requested $420,000 from the actor to take a lie detector test.A demand made through her lawyers, Bloom continued: “Montia and I are not asking for a cent from Kevin Hart. This is not about money. We are not suing him. We are not making any false claims against him. Any reports to the contrary are false,” Bloom said.
Sabbag was identified Tuesday as the woman seen partying with Hart in grainy images and video still-shots published by TMZ.

A source close to the couple  told E! News: “Eniko is aware of what’s going on and that Kevin is not perfect,” the source added.
“She has accepted his apology and is focused on her pregnancy and what’s to come. She has no plans for divorce. She believes Kevin is a good husband and always comes home to her.”
Eniko who is pregnant with the couple’s first child,  is reportedly most upset by the intense media coverage the scandal has received.
