Sony Leak: Studio Exec Calls Kevin Hart a Greedy "Wh0re"

Comedy rockstar Kevin Hart is now involved in the recent major hack Sony had to suffer. According to leaked email, Hart thinks he deserves more than $3 million a movie to tweet about it.



Gawker reports:



The email exchange below, between Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal, studio exec Clint Culpepper, and Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton, pertains to squeaky Mr. Hart, whose fame has continued to expand with recent Sony Pictures films. The studio was hoping Hart would be so kind as to write a 140-characters statement or three about his new movie (possibly Think Like a Man Too). But as you can see in the below message, Kevin wanted more money to go social.

"I'm not saying he's a wh0re, but he's a wh0re."

It's not as if we paid him 3M and 4M respectively for his last 2 films thinking he might be nominated. We paid for his ability to open a film which included his social media savvy. I feel like this is something that should be negotiated going into the film as opposed to after the fact. It feels tantamount to
buying a car and then upon picking it up being told that the engine will cost extra. I'm tempted to suggest we call his bluff. If he doesn't do his normal routine, his film will not open as well and his brand will appear diminished and he will- in fact - be f****** himself because we have his next 2 immediate films. And then there's the social media precedent we're setting...especially in light of the fact that Channing is at the same agency.
