Comedian Tiffany Haddish shared that a police cadet raped her when she was 17, according to E! Online.
“I wasn’t even taken advantage of, that motherf—cker just took me,” Haddish said.
Although the ”Like A Boss” star did not go into depth about her attacker, she said that “nobody really helped” her get justice after the incident.
Haddish revealed to Vivica Fox on a podcast that her assault changed her perspective on relationships and intimacy. In an attempt to seek revenge, she said she started dating men who worked in law enforcement.
“I dated a police officer, a judge, a lawyer,” Haddish continued. “I dated several different kinds of dudes, thinking, ‘Oh, if I date them, they’ll love me, and they’ll try to help me with my crusade of getting justice for my family and myself.”
Her plan for justice never went through, leaving Haddish feeling hopeless. She recalled feeling as if she “lost this little bit of my soul.”
To heal from her trauma, Haddish said she sought success instead of revenge.
“I had to learn revenge is not really where it’s at,” the comedian said.
The actress also detailed a scary encounter with the police years after her assault. She recalled the time police officers pointed guns at her when they caught her smoking weed in her car.
The superstar, who was living out of her car at the time, said she remembers being scared for her life. She said she tried to make jokes to lighten the mood.
“I didn’t make no fuss about it or anything,” Haddish said. “I just was letting them know I was scared, and that I’m not doing anything wrong.”
Haddish said the officers then gave her a ticket for the possession of marijuana. Luckily, she received an offer that would prevent her from receiving a felony charge.
Although the star approved the proposal, she remains adamant about her innocence because she did not feel like she did anything wrong.
