Tiffany Haddish has addressed the rumors that she’s “spiraling out of control” following her recent DUI arrest — and she said no such thing is happening.
The rumors began after the actor was arrested for her second DUI in two years over the Thanksgiving holiday, but came to a fever pitch following a photo shoot she posted to her Instagram on Sunday (December 17).

People felt that what was meant to be a playful shoot was really a cry for help, but Tiffany said she is more than fine and enjoying her vacation.
“I got nothing but love for all of you – even the people that think I’m spiraling out,” she said in an Instagram Live on Monday (December 18). “Ain’t no spiral here, honey. Mm mm. Just some cleaning. God’s cleaning house and woke me up. It’s time to wake up! She woke! Woo, she woke! And it feels so good. And look. Look at that. New boundaries, new limits.”

She continued: “No longer helping those that don’t help themselves. No more being nice. Mm mm. No more trying to help. Yes, the hair color’s for my grandmother. My grandma’s color was this. I’ma act like her. Don’t help nobody that don’t help themselves. And if you thought I was in jail, I’m not in jail. I’m in paradise on earth. Ain’t gon’ find me nowhere near you. Gon’ have to pay to be with me. Period. I’ma see y’all later. Deuces.”

Following the November 24 arrest where she was found by police asleep at the wheel in the middle of the road while her engine was still running, Tiffany Haddish was officially charged with a DUI on December 13.
Although she made light of the situation during a set at the Laugh Factory shortly after her arrest, Haddish recently told ET that she is seeking help.

“This will never happen again,” she told the outlet. “I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries.”
The Girls Trip star was previously arrested for a DUI in January 2022 after she was also found asleep at the wheel.
In more positive news, Haddish has been actively working toward resurrecting her rap career. Though she is best known for her comedy and acting roles, people often forget that she can spit too.
In mid-September, the LA native dropped “Till The Club Close” featuring Lil Jon, Fivio Foreign, and Begetz. A certified banger, the joint puts the Grammy winner’s skill as an MC on full display.

Haddish has never released a full-length album, but she has put out a string of singles. In the past few years, she’s worked with Snoop Dogg, Jada Pinkett Smith and Begetz, among others. Her brief yet solid catalog is a testament to her talents, and that’s most likely why she landed collaborations with Lil Jon and E40 over the summer.
