Actor and comedian Tiffany Haddish has announced that she has been free from alcohol and drugs for over two months now. The revelation came after the ‘Girls Trip’ actress was detained twice on suspicions of DUI – once in Beverly Hills in November 2023 when she dozed off behind the wheel, and previously in Georgia in 2022.
During an interview on The Conversation podcast, Haddish stated, “It’s been about 72 days since I last consumed alcohol, smoked weed or used any substances.”. Upon being complimented by the podcast’s host, Amanda de Cadnet, for her resolve, Haddish mentioned that staying away from substances wasn’t a big challenge for her. She confessed that maintaining a healthy diet was more of a struggle for her, particularly when it comes to meat and candy consumption.
On being probed further by de Cadnet about her reasons for choosing sobriety, Haddish revealed it was due to legal obligations, saying, “I am just obeying the law, as this sobriety is court-ordered.” She also shared that she had previously used marijuana as a pain reliever for her endometriosis, a condition where the tissue that usually lines the uterus grows outside of it.
Even though the November DUI charges against her were eventually dropped, Haddish was found guilty of a vehicle code violation, to which she pled no contest.
