At this point, this comic/actress has nothing to lose in trying to save her career, so has sent out her friends and others to try and make the claims sound like extortion rather than anything based in reality.

Tiffany Haddish Breaks Silence on Molestation Allegations: ‘I Know People Have a Bunch of Questions’

Tiffany Haddish is speaking out after being accused of molestation.

Last Tuesday, a 22-year-old woman identified as Jane Doe sued Haddish, 42, and comedian Aries Spears, 47, in California’s Superior Court for Los Angeles County on behalf of herself and a minor identified as John Doe, her younger brother. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Jane alleged that Haddish “groomed” the plaintiffs, leaving them “traumatized for life.”

The plaintiff claimed that Haddish was a “longtime family friend” of her mother and that in 2013, when Jane Doe was 14, Haddish took her to the taping of a “sexually suggestive Subways commercial” that Haddish allegedly said would help Jane Doe get on television and would be included in the teenager’s film reel. During the taping, Haddish allegedly instructed Jane Doe on how to perform inappropriate sex acts after watching a man and woman in a video.

In a statement on Instagram Monday morning, Haddish wrote, “I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you. Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now.”

“But,” she continued, “clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all – and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it. I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can.” – Source
