Tiffany Haddish arrested for DUI

Tiffany Haddish has been arrested for driving under the influence in Beverly Hills, according to TMZ. The outlet reports that law enforcement was called at 5:45 A.M. about a car stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, with someone “slumped over the wheel while the car was running.” She is expected to be charged with a DUI and released later in the day.

Haddish performed last night at The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood for their 43rd annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community. The actor, who has been open about her experience with homelessness, told KTLA that she had come to the event for dinner since 1991. “When I first started here, I was sitting at the tables eating, I was receiving a meal,” she told the outlet. “Full circle, and I’m so glad to keep doing that.”

This is the second DUI charge for Haddish. In January 2022, she was arrested in Georgia after driving into the yard of a home in Peachtree City; local law enforcement had received calls about a driver asleep at the wheel on Highway 74 around 2:30 AM, per Deadline. Haddish was booked and released shortly after, having posted a $1,666 bond. She was not involved in a crash on either occasion.

The comedian addressed the first DUI charge while hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show later that year. “Since I been single, I’ve been praying to God to send me a man, and in January, he went ahead and sent me four in uniform. Yeah, they were the police. They got good benefits and everything, so I can’t even be mad. And yes, I did get charged with a DUI, which stands for Dumb Unfortunate Incidents,” she said, sharing her mugshot with the audience. “Still cute… looking good. I’m going to go ahead and turn that into an NFT. Got to get paid. Got to, you know, they say with every disaster, every mistake, you got to find a win, and that’s what I’m doing, winning.”
