Tiffany Haddish has credited her recent bout with sobriety for keeping her away from pleasures of the flesh.
In an interview with PEOPLE which dropped on Wednesday (April 24), the comedian and sometime rapper acknowledged that her life hasn’t been the greatest, as of late, but says she working on bettering herself — and says that staying away from alcohol has had other unintended, but good, consequences.

“I’m very sober,” she said to the outlet. “I haven’t had a drink since [her dui arrest]. When I sit back and look at my life, everything that’s crazy that’s happened is because somebody or myself had alcohol in their system.”
After sharing that she would frequently have sex after drinking, she continued: “They go together. My issue was, I was waking up next to ugly men. With alcohol [my mind] would just be like ‘You’re horny, let’s just do it.’ I be like ‘Nah, nope.'”

Back in December, Tiffany Haddish 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 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 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.”
