Tiffany Haddish goes to the extreme over online trolls: ‘I have called people, honey’

Dare to troll Tiffany Haddish? The “Girls Trip” and “Haunted Mansion” star admits that she takes matters of online bullying into her own hands when it comes to her reputation — and sometimes gives her haters a real-world surprise. Given all the negative talk about the comedian — amid a short-lived but damaging grooming scandal, her repeat DUI arrests and her controversial trip to Israel in February — she’s begun blocking certain phrases on Instagram, including “setback,” “pedo” and “not funny,” she recently told L.A. Times columnist Amy Kaufman. I try my best not to, but I’m a human being.” The star of “The Afterparty” and “Night School” also talks to Kaufman about the idea of feeling “hunted” and how that factored into her decision not to have kids, sharing that she has had eight miscarriages, which felt like having “your soul falling out of your body,” and an abortion. “I don’t want the stress of worrying every time my Black baby goes to school or goes to hang out with their friends that they could end up dead.” Haddish also discusses how she’s cut back on doing too much, her mental health — which she says is perfectly fine, by the way — and the attitude adjustment she has experienced from people in the industry after her scandals, not to mention her history with homelessness, domestic violence and rape, which she has mined for material.
