Eniko Parrish is speaking out about discovering her husband Kevin Hart’s infidelity.
In his Netflix documentary series Kevin Hart: Don’t F**k This Up, the mother of one, 35, talks about discovering Hart’s adultery and claimed extortion at the hands of Hart’s former buddy Jonathan Todd Jackson in 2017.
At the time, Jonathan Todd Jackson was arrested and accused with extortion, but he always denied it, pleaded not guilty, and the prosecution was subsequently dismissed.
Charges of attempting to hide and sell stolen items, as well as one count of illegal use of personal identifying information, were dropped in December 2019. However, he still faces a charge of identity theft in the case.
“How I found out was a DM.” During episode three, titled What Happened in Vegas, the 35-year-old is heard admitting, “I don’t know who it was.”
“They sent me an edited video of Kevin and, you know, another woman. I was pregnant at that time, I was about seven or eight months pregnant. I was having breakfast, I opened my phone and immediately I just lost it.
“I called him, I’m crying, I’m like p****d. Right then and there, I kept saying, ‘How the f**k did you let that happen?.”
“You publicly humiliated me. Your whole everything’s on Instagram, everything’s on social media. It was an ongoing fight all the time. Every single day,” she said. “I kept questioning him, like, ‘If this is what you’re gonna do, I don’t want to be a part of that.’”
“I’m happy that it kind of happened. I get sensitive every time I talk about it,” she added. “He’s f– up, this was a bad one, this was major. Nine years and I think looking forward, it’ll be better.”
“The toughest thing” about the experience, Hart said in the show, “was just telling my wife.”
“There is no easy way to have that conversation,” Hart said. “The worst part was just knowing how you made somebody feel. There’s a major effect it could have on the people that you are closest to, who you love the most. When I got to see that first-hand with Eniko when I got to see the effect my reckless behavior had … It was crushing, that tore me up. That really tore me up.”
“That’s probably the lowest moment of my life because I know what I was responsible for,” he concluded.
“When it happened it came at such a f***ed up time. We were in the middle of the tour… and home wasn’t home.
“Home was cold. In that moment, you gotta have something to lean on, something to help you stand up straight.”
Parrish explained why she remained in the relationship by stating she was “worried” about the couple’s baby son, Kenzo.
“I have to keep a level head,” she added. “I think that’s the only thing that got me through. I wasn’t ready at the time to just give up on my family. I wanted Kenzo to be able to know his dad and grow up, so it was a lot.”
“It was a lot for me,” Eniko said, wiping away her tears. “But we’ve been through it, we’ve gone through it, we passed it and he’s a better man now because of it.
“I believe in second chances. I’m all about forgiveness, and you only get two times. Three strikes you’re out, you’re out of here.
“So, as long as he behaves, we’re good.”
