‘Real Situations Expose Fake People’: Tiffany Haddish Posts Message About Friendships Following Abuse Suit

Award-winning actress Tiffany Haddish is learning that not everyone will stick around when the going gets tough. Nearly a month after the “Night School” star and fellow comedian Aries Spears were accused of child abuse and molestation, Haddish took to her social media, where she seemingly called out associates who may have turned their backs on her amid her recent controversy.

On Monday, Oct. 3, the “Like a Boss” star shared a silhouette of what appeared to be a man and woman sitting on a bench. The male figure is seen pointing an object, seemingly a weapon, behind a woman’s head, with a memo that reads, “Everybody isn’t your friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn’t mean they are your friend. People pretend well.”

The note continued, “At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, So pay attention.” Haddish added her own message, stamping the photo with seven sets of “looking” emojis and a caption that read, “I see you!”

It’s unclear whom the actress’ post may be directed toward. However, it comes after the “Nobody’s Fool” actress was hit with a lawsuit in which a 22-year-old identified as Jane Doe alleged that Haddish and Spears “groomed” and “molested” them when they were teenagers.

According to legal documents, “Haddish knew the child was under 18 and sexually exploited Plaintiff Jane Doe for profit and likes on social media.” However, in 2018, Jane Doe’s mother reportedly received a $15,000 settlement from Spears.

Jane Doe ultimately dismissed the case with prejudice in new court docs, removing any chances that Haddish and Spears could be charged with the same crime twice. In a statement, she described the Primetime Emmy Award winner as a harmless individual.

The plaintiff said, “My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years, and we know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us. We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”

While traveling through Los Angeles International Airport, a TMZ cameraperson caught up with the “Black Mitzvah” actress, who claimed she “lost everything” following the scandal. 

When asked whether she could restore her reputation and career, Haddish, looking visibly uncertain, responded, “I don’t know, bruh. I don’t have no job.” She added, “I don’t have no job, bro,” although she did not specify what jobs she no longer had.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
