*Tiffany Haddish seems to be an open book when it comes to sharing details about her rough upbringing.
In a recent interview with fellow comedian Luenell on DJ Vlad’s YouTube show, the actress/comedian admits couldn’t read as a child and up until her teen years. She also finds it ironic that she was nominated for a 2018 Grammy for the audiobook version of her memoir. “The Last Black Unicorn.”
“That was kinda cool to be nominated for a Grammy for reading out loud when I couldn’t read at one point in time in my life when I was in my teens,” she said during their chat, MadameNoire reports.
Haddish went on to share why she struggled with low self-esteem during her childhood.
“Because I thought I was stupid,” she continued. “Everybody would say to me, ‘You’re stupid, you’re stupid, you so stupid.’ At that time in my life, I took things literally. So if everybody’s telling me you’re stupid – my stepdad, my mom, grandma, everybody used to say, ‘You so stupid.’ So, I believed I was stupid and I can’t read and I can’t do these things because I’m stupid.”
