Tiffany Haddish, an American comedian and actress, has spoken out about her recent DUI arrest.
According to TMZ, Haddish was arrested for DUI and handcuffed on Friday, November 24. The Hollywood comedienne was discovered asleep behind the wheel of her car while it was still running by police.
The vehicle was located in the middle of a busy street on Beverly Drive.
During a new stand-up set at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, Haddish addressed her arrest.
The comedian, 43, ‘responded’ to an audience member who asked ‘what happened last night,’ according to audio, obtained from TMZ.
‘What happened last night?’ she replied, before taking a long pause as the crowd laughed and applauded. ‘I don’t know, you tell me.’
The Girl Trip proceeded to played coy, before musing that her prayers for a man ‘in uniform were ‘answered.’
‘I prayed to God to send me a man with a job. A career. Preferably in a uniform. God answered my prayers,’ she quipped.
This is the second DUI arrest for the star who was found sleeping in her car in Georgia in January 2022.
In a similar situation, she was arrested for DUI in Peachtree City, Georgia. According to TMZ, the Night School star was discovered ‘dozing in the driver’s seat’ of her automobile.
The actress had been in Georgia filming the Walt Disney Productions picture Haunted Mansion with co-stars Owen Wilson and Rosario Dawson.
Officers told the site that they suspected she had been smoking marijuana. After a concerned citizen complained about a woman sleeping in her car, police approached the star’s vehicle.
After authorities awoke her, she was arrested on suspicion of DUI and stopping on a roadway in an unsafe manner for traffic.
Apparently, Tiffany had not properly pulled off the road for her nap before she was arrested.
