Tiffany Haddish Pleads Not Guilty To 2 DUI Charges

BEVERLY HILLS, CA —Comedian Tiffany pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two misdemeanor DUI charges following her arrest in Beverly Hills last month, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Haddish, 44, is charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of driving with a 0.08% blood alcohol content. A pretrial hearing is set for Feb. 14, the DA's office said.

Haddish was arrested at around 5:45 a.m. the morning after Thanksgiving on suspicion of driving under the influence near Beverly Drive and Dayton Way in Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hills Police Department said.

Before Haddish was cuffed, police received a report about someone stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive slumped over the steering wheel while the car was running, TMZ reported.

Haddish had performed hours earlier at the Laugh Factory Hollywood's annual Thanksgiving feast.

This marks Haddish's second DUI arrest in recent years. She was arrested on suspicion of DUI in January 2022 after Atlanta-area police responded to a call of someone sleeping behind the wheel. That case is still pending, TMZ reported.

Last year, Haddish and comedian Aries Spears were sued by a woman who claimed they sexually abused her as a child. Haddish spoke out against the allegations and the woman filed to have the case dismissed with prejudice a few months after filing it. The woman also released a statement saying Haddish "would never harm" her, Variety reported.
