Tiffany Haddish is speaking out about a painful part of her past. The comedian says she was sexually assaulted by a police cadet when she was 17, according to E! Online.
Haddish shared the story while appearing on Vivica A. Fox’s podcast. She did not go into detail about the person who attacked her, but she said “nobody really helped” her pursue justice afterward.
She explained that the experience changed how she approached relationships. Haddish said she began dating men who worked in law enforcement and the legal system, hoping they might help her seek justice for herself and her family. She said she dated a police officer, a judge and a lawyer, but the justice she wanted never came, and she felt she had “lost this little bit of my soul.”
Over time, Haddish said she chose to focus on her success instead of revenge. “I had to learn revenge is not really where it’s at,” she said.
The Like A Boss star also described a frightening run in with police years later, when she was living out of her car. She said officers pointed guns at her after finding her with marijuana in the vehicle. Haddish said she tried to lighten the mood with jokes and let them know she was scared. She was given a ticket for possession and accepted an offer that kept her from facing a felony charge, though she says she still feels she did nothing wrong.
Baller Alert sends love and respect to Tiffany for sharing her story.
