Kevin Hart posted an emotional video on his Instagram Saturday night, apologizing to his wife and children and claiming an unidentified person was trying to extort him over a “sexually suggestive” video.
Hart, 38, admitted to his “bad error in judgment” and specifically addressed the apology to his wife, Eniko Parrish, who is expecting her first child with the actor, and his two older children.
“I’m at a place in my life where I feel like I have a target on my back,” Hart said in the post. “And because of that I should make smart decisions. And recently, I didn’t. You know, I’m not perfect. And I made a bad error in judgment and I put myself in a bad environment where only bad things can happen and they did.”
Hart said there were “no excuses” for his behavior and vowed to “do better” in the future. The actor then revealed a person tried to “have financial gain” off his mistakes.
“But I’m also not going to allow a person to have financial gain off of my mistakes and in this particular situation that was what was attempted. I said I’d rather fess up to my mistakes,” Hart said.
Meanwhile, sources close to Eniko say that she has no intentions of leaving the marriage.
“There is absolutely no divorce talk,” a source told PEOPLE Magazine. “She obviously knows about the cheating allegations. To her, Kevin is a great husband. Eniko is aware that Kevin has been accused of being a ladies’ man. She doesn’t care. He is her husband and he always comes home to her.”
Another source said, “Despite Kevin’s well-known affection for the ladies, he loves his family, and his wife is behind him with the extortion case. That kind of thing comes with the territory, and he will do everything to beat it.”
