Have you noticed something off about Tiffany Haddish lately, but couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Well, rumors are swirling that she’s going through a rough patch and might be struggling with substance use. The latest buzz stems from a video of Tiffany loudly calling out Shakira’s name and chasing after her at the VMAs, sparking concerns that she may have lost control and possibly using heavy substances. In the viral clip, Tiffany persistently shouts “Shakira, Shakira” until Shakira exits the venue. Towards the end, she even sneaks into a fan’s selfie with Shakira. What’s baffling is despite Tiffany’s loud calls, Shakira appears to ignore her, leading to speculation. The video triggered a wave of reactions, with many expressing worry over Tiffany’s behavior, suggesting she might be spiraling downwards. Tiffany addressed these concerns, responding to claims that she was acting erratically during her pursuit of Shakira.
“It’s just hysterical because, when you think about it, why get worked up? Upset because she’s embarrassing us? Do I even know you? Did you raise me? Did you ever take care of me? Are we friends? So, I’m embarrassing you? Why?” Later, Tiffany attributed everything from that night with Shakira to alcohol, saying, “I’m sipping on tequila, and then it’s all a blank, and then I wake up in the morning, like, ‘What even happened last night?'” But was it solely the alcohol’s fault? Well, there’s “The Red Table Talk.” Besides those incidents, I have to concede, Tiffany has made some eyebrow-raising remarks. Remember when she spilled the beans to Jada Pinkett Smith about her texting escapades with Drake? They were just chatting about work, then made dinner plans. She even went as far as preparing for the date, only to be hit with a last-minute excuse from Drake about a family emergency. She casually mentioned, “Could have made $100,000 today, right? But I was trying to see what that D do.” Definitely not your run-of-the-mill conversation. And let me tell you, Tiffany didn’t stop there with Jada. She delved into some rather peculiar behavior she’s exhibited.
“I used to have this thing, you know, back in the day when I was into penology, like, I’d go on dates and straight up ask to photograph the guy’s junk. I’d whip out my disposable camera and be like, ‘Mind if I snap a pic?’ No faces, just the goods, you know? And if you ever went out with me and agreed to a photo op, well, your you-know-what is probably sitting pretty in my little collection, which I turned into a book. Maybe that’s why Leo was a bit wary about getting involved with me.
So, there I am, walking up to Leonardo DiCaprio, all starstruck. I’m like, ‘Hey, Leo, I’m Tiffany Haddish, big fan of your work.’ And he’s all gracious, saying he thinks I’m funny and all. Then I drop the bombshell. ‘Listen, I gotta tell you something.’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah, what’s up?’ And I’m like, ‘I wanna hook up.’ Yeah, I straight-up told him that. Remember when I said that? But here’s the twist: I told him I wanted to do it as if he were his character in ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?’ You know, ’cause I thought he nailed that role. And the cherry on top? I wanted Brad Pitt. That was my way of showing appreciation for his acting skills.”
I’m not sure if the hookup actually happened because Tiff mentioned Leo seemed hesitant. However, according to followers, it seemed unlikely that Tiff was sober when she made that request. Moreover, her openness about it in multiple interviews only exacerbated the situation. Frankly, Tiffany has a knack for oversharing her fantasies. Interestingly, when she encountered Brad Pitt, their conversation veered toward the same topic. On “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Tiffany disclosed an elevator encounter where she flirted with Brad Pitt. She recounted, “Oh, I just met him in an elevator.” He responded, “In one year, if he’s single and I’m single, we’re going to do it.” So, you know what that implies.
Continuing on the theme of meeting celebrities and divulging intimate details, Tiffany didn’t hold back when recounting her interaction with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Allegedly, there was an actress showing excessive interest in Jay-Z. Beyoncé intervened but it didn’t end well. Tiffany shared during a GQ interview that Beyoncé stormed away, fetched Jay-Z, and said, “Jay, come here.” They left the room, leaving Tiffany bewildered. A friend of Beyoncé’s later informed Tiffany that the actress had bitten Beyoncé. Tiffany, shocked, confronted Beyoncé at the bar, asking, “Did she really bite you?” Beyoncé confirmed, adding, “Yeah.” Tiffany, ready to defend her, exclaimed, “She’s going to get her behind beat tonight.” However, Beyoncé urged restraint, explaining, “Tiffany, no, don’t do that. That girl is on drugs. She’s not herself right now. Just chill.”
By the way, have any of you read “The Last Black Unicorn,” Tiffany’s memoir? It’s quite a rollercoaster ride.
Tiff’s penchant for oversharing takes center stage here. She openly admitted to exacting revenge on an ex who betrayed her trust by filming an intimate tape with another woman. In her account, she describes a rather unconventional approach to payback: feigning interest in reconciling, she returned his Air Jordans but not without an unexpected twist. Tiff had discreetly defecated in the shoes before handing them over. And if that wasn’t enough, she went a step further, commissioning a bootlegger to distribute altered footage of the private tape to his family members. Quite the audacious move, wouldn’t you say? It’s actions like these that fuel rumors of her drug use, a notion seemingly corroborated by fellow comedian Chris Rock. According to Rock, during the pandemic, he and other comedians, including Tiff, were invited to Dave Chappelle’s home to collaborate on projects. However, local news reported the cancellation of these gatherings due to potential exposure within Chappelle’s inner circle. Rock confessed to partaking in recreational substances during their time there, primarily marijuana and mushrooms. He even revealed that Chappelle had hired a chef specializing in infusing these drugs into gourmet meals. Rock humorously attributed Tiff’s impulsive haircut to her consumption of mushroom tea, debunking any romantic notions she may have spun around the act. While Rock claimed they stuck to weed and mushrooms, the allure of Hollywood parties and discretion in his revelations hint at a different story. Given Tiff’s erratic behavior, many speculate she’s been grappling with substance abuse for some time. What’s your take on her actions? Do you agree she might be battling addiction, or do you have another theory? Share your thoughts below.
