Tiffany Haddish Reveals That She’s Been Sober For Over Two Months Following Her Recent DUI Arrest: “I Haven’t Drank Any Alcohol, Smoked Any Weed Or Anything In, Like, 72 Days”

Tiffany Haddish discloses her sobriety journey following her DUI arrest in 2023.

The 44-year-old actress and comedian recently joined British journalist Amanda de Cadnet’s The Conversation podcast and revealed that she has been sober for over two months.

“I haven’t drank any alcohol, smoked any weed or anything in, like, 72 days,” Haddish said. “It’s not hard. It’s not that hard for me, ’cause it wasn’t really, like, my main thing anyways.”

Haddish also mentioned her struggle with maintaining a healthy diet, particularly with regards to consuming adequate amounts of meat and candy. When questioned about her decision to abstain from alcohol and weed, she said that it came after she decided to commit to obeying the law.

“It’s court-mandated,” she added, while highlighting that the weed helps manage her endometriosis pain.

Haddish’s latest run-in with the law occurred in the early hours of November 24, 2023, when she was reportedly found asleep at the wheel of her Tesla in Beverly Hills, California, resulting in a DUI charge. She was released from custody on the same day as her arrest.

Subsequently, the charge was downgraded to a violation, and Haddish entered a plea of no contest in February. Reflecting on the incident during her podcast appearance, Haddish attributed her behavior to driving while exhausted and acknowledged that stress had taken a toll on her health, preventing her from vigorously contesting the charges. This incident marked her second encounter with DUI-related issues, following a previous arrest in January 2022 by Peachtree City police officers in Georgia.
