Tiffany Haddish Trifles With Recent DUI Arrest in New Standup

Tiffany Haddish allegedly cracked a joke about her recent DUI, during her latest comedy set. This came less than a day after the arrest.

Actor and comedian, Tiffany Haddish, allegedly addressed her recent DUI arrest in Beverly Hills. Last Friday, Haddish was arrested by the Beverly Hills Police Department and faced a DUI charge after supposedly falling asleep behind the wheel.

Later that day, the comedian performed in a previously scheduled stand-up show at the Laugh Factory. Haddish performed a set in Long Beach, according to audio from the show, she allegedly addressed her recent arrest.

In the recording, Haddish was asked about what had happened “last night,” to which she replied, “You tell me,” before cracking a joke at the situation. “I had prayed to God to send me a man with a job, career, preferably in a uniform, and I answered my prayers.”

On Friday, local police recieved a call around 5:45 a.m. about a woman behind the wheel of a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive while the car was running. The actress was then arrested by authorities before being released later that day.

The night before, Haddish had performed at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood for the venue’s 43rd annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community.

The star has also previously been arrested for a DUI-related incident back in January 2022 in Georgia. At the time, the Girls Trip star was arrested for a suspected DUI and improper stopping on a roadway.

Local authorities responded to a 911 call in the middle of the night about a driver who had allegedly fallen asleep at the wheel on Highway 74. Moreover, Police told reporters that “subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence.”

“[Haddish] was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident,” the police told People. This is the second time Haddish joked she was looking for a man in uniform, in regards to her arrest.

A week after the comedians arrest in Georgia, the star cracked a similar joke while on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show. “I can say this Jimmy… I’ve been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four… in uniform.”

Haddish told ET that she plans to “get help” for it, “I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries,” she stated. This is her second time getting arrested for DUI in two years, she pledged “this will never happen again.” The comedian hasn’t made any further comments about this situation.
