Kevin Hart Scandal Threatens Career Future
If you’ve been to the movies lately, one thing is clear: Kevin Hart is in everything these days. Normally, that’s a hallmark of a successful actor, but his most recent onscreen appearance is one that may threaten his entire career. In the wake of all the controversies surrounding Sean Combs, AKA Diddy, leaked footage has revealed Kevin Hart hosting one of the singer’s infamous “freak-off” parties in which a woman’s hair caught on fire and in which the actor began an N-word-fueled rant.
You can watch parts of the footage below.
In the leaked footage, Hart can be seen with a microphone and playing host next to a bathtub while a woman in very skimpy clothing sits by him. There’s another woman wearing a bikini in the tub and surrounded by candles; at one point, her hair catches on fire.
At a later point, the actor is next to Diddy and begins a colorful rant that includes the N-word.
Kevin Hart orders the cameras to stop rolling in an apparent attempt to avoid a scandal, and when footage resumes, the first thing he does is reassure everyone that the injured woman is okay and jokes that they have now taken protective measures to keep that from happening again.

While this is the most explosive (or at least, incendiary) part of the Kevin Hart footage, the cameras also caught another major scandal for the star. At a later point, the actor is next to Diddy and begins a colorful rant that includes the N-word. Hart even instructs the camera to move because “I don’t want my shot to even come close to the bed at all.”
One can only imagine what was on the bed at the time, though in earlier footage, there was what appeared to be a silver adult toy on Diddy’s mattress. It’s possible, of course, that the actor was just cracking a joke. But the allegations that we have heard about Diddy’s “freak-off” parties make that joke (if that’s really what it was) potentially very troubling.
Diddy’s Freak Off Parties
After Diddy was recently arrested, disturbing details came to light, including that he allegedly hosted “freak-offs,” a term for elaborate sex parties with equally elaborate sexual performances. Women were allegedly intimidated and coerced into these parties through a combination of drugs (including ketamine, cocaine, and oxycodone) and the singer’s immense fame.
On a related note to the allegations, federal investigators recently seized one thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant (as well as three AR-15-style rifles) when raiding Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
Right now, Kevin Hart is the biggest celebrity to have been directly connected to Diddy’s ongoing scandal. However, many are wondering whether the footage of the Borderlands star is just the tip of the iceberg: if Diddy or other parties had a tendency to regularly record these parties, there could be any number of other celebrities caught on camera in compromising situations. And for Hart and any other famous faces in Diddy’s orbit, this could be the end of their lucrative careers.
Diddy is currently in jail and even on suicide watch, and he will get his day in court to defend himself against these egregious charges (including, most troublingly, allegations of sex trafficking). But for Kevin Hart and anyone else caught in this scandal, the actual legal outcomes may not matter if they lose big in the court of public opinion. Should that happen, then one thing is certain: you’ll be seeing Hart pop up in far fewer movies (for better or for worse).
