Kevin Hart Cheating and Extortion Scandal: Mike Epps Gives Spiritual Advice
Mike Epps has some advice for his fellow comedian Kevin Hart amid the latter's cheating and extortion scandal. Epps might be on the mark as well after he also recently faced problems in his marriage.
Epps was asked about his thoughts on Hart's controversy via TMZ. He said that this is the price of being in the spotlight because they are easy targets as celebrities.
But turning serious, Epps gave Hart an advice and said he should know that it is okay to mess up. Epps said Hart is a human being and he's not Jesus.

"Jesus died for our sins...and you will never be perfect," Epps said. "I hope things work out for [Kevin]," Epps closed his message, adding that his fellow actor should also learn to keep his desires in check.
Hart admitted that someone was extorting money from him lest the person will reveal to the world that he cheated on his pregnant wife Eniko Parrish.
"[I] made a bad error in judgment and put myself in an environment where only bad things can happen, and they did," Hart said in an Instagram video. He made the video as an apology to his wife and kids.
The woman who claimed she became intimate with the "Jumanji" actor last month denied that she extorted money from the actor. Montia Sabbag was with her lawyer Lisa Bloom during a press conference. She said that she has no knowledge that her dalliance with Hart was being recorded.
Both Hart and Sabbag also said that they do not know who was behind the video that filmed in secret in the actor's private Las Vegas hotel suite. As far as Sabbag's lawyer knows, the police are not investigating Hart's extortion case and her client is also a victim.
Meanwhile, Epps' divorce from Mechelle, his wife of 12 years, became official in early September. Reports noted that the wife will receive a generous monthly spousal and child support as well as several properties and assets in the settlement.
