Comedian, Tiffany Haddish,  appeared as a guest on the Breakfast Club, and she talked about giving up certain habits to improve her lifestyle. The star didn’t hold back when sharing exactly how she did that.

Haddish, 44, told the hosts that she gained clarity after giving up alcohol and sex. She explained, “I probably would never drink alcohol again until like I’m engaged to get married just so he could see like my full crazy.” 

She went on to say she felt like she had more restrictions, was way too nice when she was drinking, as well as too accommodating, and was probably way too loud because, in her opinion, alcohol made one deaf. 

Haddish revealed that she believed she was a little meaner now and quick to tell people ‘no’. This, she believed, was a way of protecting her peace.

Haddish has been on a new path following her arrest for DUI earlier this year. As we previously reported, Haddish was arrested in Beverly Hills for driving intoxicated after she allegedly fell asleep behind the wheel.

Authorities said at the time that they received calls about someone stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, apparently slumped over the steering wheel while the car was still running. That incident marked the second time she was arrested for DUI.

Since then she’s been committed to staying healthy, sober, and focused.

Haddish is currently on a press run with her new memoir, I Curse You with Joy.

In other news, Haddish recently revealed that she found a way to access people’s personal information and admits to tracking trolls who spam her social media accounts. 

While speaking to the Los Angeles Times the Girls Trip actress reflected on some of the comments she’s received on social media and named some of the hateful words that stood out to her. She stated that she noticed people call her “pedo” and “not funny” which led to the comedian creating a Finsta account as a fake woman named “Sarah” so she could look into all of the trolls who have been commenting on her page and gather details about their personal life.

 “I’ve learned how to find people’s information — like I pull up the credit report, police records. You can do that for $1.99,” Haddish said.

“Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get the phone number and I’ll just call them.” She added, “Oh, I have called people, honey. They be shocked that I called. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that.’ You did a whole video, bitch! You made a full, five-minute video! On the internet, people think they can just say whatever and you not gonna say anything. I try my best not to, but I’m a human being,” the comedian noted.
