Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish was arrested early Friday morning in Beverly Hills on DUI charges. The arrest occurred around 5:45 a.m. after Beverly Hills Police received reports of a vehicle obstructing lanes on Beverly Drive.
Authorities found Haddish asleep at the wheel with the car engine running. Known for her roles in movies like “Girls Trip” and “Night School,” Haddish is expected to be released later today.
This incident isn’t Haddish’s first encounter with legal troubles. In January 2022, she faced a DUI charge in Georgia for allegedly stopping improperly on a highway and falling asleep behind the wheel. Haddish is scheduled for trial over this previous charge on December 4.
Despite these legal battles, she has maintained her humour, joking about her DUI arrest during a stint as a host on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even considering turning her mugshot into an NFT.
Haddish’s recent arrest brings her legal struggles back into the spotlight, raising concerns about the potential consequences she may face.
The actress, who has been involved in charitable work, including performing at The Laugh Factory’s Thanksgiving dinner, also had scheduled performances at the same venue over the weekend. Haddish’s ability to balance her legal issues with her public and professional life will likely be closely watched in the coming days.
