*Tiffany Haddish’s friends and family are concerned about her after her recent DUI arrest.
“Tiffany likes to drink and have a good time, but her friends are noticing that she is drinking way more around the holidays,” a source told Page Six. “We think that she may be lonely and hiding behind a fake smile.”
We reported previously (via CNN) that Haddish was arrested Friday morning in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. She was arrested and released shortly after.
According to TMZ, the “Girls Trip” star was not involved in an accident but was allegedly found asleep in her parked vehicle with the car running.
“It’s surprising because she has worked so hard to get to where she is,” the source told Page Six.
“She has always spoken about her hardships about being broke, homeless and living in her car. But now that she has found the success she has always dreamed of, new demons are coming to the surface in the form of alcohol.”
“We love the fact that she can move on from this and turn this life situation into a part of her comedy routine. But we are concerned,” an insider shared.
Haddish addressed the arrest Friday during a stand-up show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, California.
In audio obtained by TMZ the show, when an audience member asked about the incident, Haddish jokingly replied, “I had prayed to God to send me a man with a job, career, preferably in a uniform, and I answered my prayers,” she said.
On Monday, Haddish told Entertainment Tonight, “This will never happen again,” and she plans to get help.
“I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries,” she told the outlet.
She claimed her Tesla self-parked when she fell asleep and blocked part of the street when police arrested her.
Haddish was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in 2022 in Peachtree City, Georgia, after she fell asleep at the wheel, per CNN.
