Tiffany Haddish Reveals Abuse In New Book
Funnywoman Tiffany Haddish recently revealed some very serious news about her personal life. The comedienne/“Last Black Unicorn” author’s released an excerpt from her tome to E! and in it, she recalls a time when she suffered abuse at the hands of her now ex-husband.
According to Tiffany at one point her husband went ballistic after seeing her talking to comedian Tom Greene and snatched her by her shirt in public before slamming her into a wall.
“He grabbed me by the collar, he was like, ‘It’s time to go to the room now,’ in front of everybody,” she wrote. “Just snatched me by my shirt, and pulled me to the elevator and threw me in it…once we got to our hotel room, he was so quick. He snatched me by the neck and slammed me into the wall.”

Tiffany also added that during a physical altercation with her husband, who she actually married and divorced twice, she suffered a miscarriage. The comedienne was unaware that she was pregnant.
She said things got bad between them that at one point, she went to a police station, which was closed, then called the police and said, ‘Ya’ll need to lock me up, because I’m about to kill my husband.’ She said officers came out and saw the bruises, cuts and scrapes on her body and called an ambulance for her. She said her ex was arrested. The next day, she had a miscarriage. She didn’t know she was pregnant.”
Damn Tiffany, thank God she got out of that situation.

That’s not all, however, Tiffany’s also revealing some very disturbing details about the sexual abuse she endured as a child, hit the flip.
When Tiffany was in foster care she says she was molested, but didn’t realize it. In her book she details one of the live-in fathers of her one foster mothers sucking on her breasts “to help them grow.” She was just 13-years-old at the time.
“She said she started letting the man do it every day for 15 minutes before she left for school. Haddish said years later, at age 19, she told a friend about it, thinking that it was truly done to make her breasts grow. She said the friend told her she was actually molested.
“In my mind, ‘molested’ meant somebody hurt you in some kind of way,” she wrote. “Like, they took something from you that you didn’t want to give. And what the old man did never hurt. It didn’t necessarily feel good, either, it was just whatever. And he never tried nothing else with me, not even once. It was just like—in my mind—he was helping me out.”
Jeez, Tiffany. We’re so glad she endured despite the abuse she went through in her childhood.
