After her latest brush with the law, Tiffany Haddish has turned over a new leaf.
The Emmy Award winner revealed she is 72 days sober from alcohol and weed as she appeared Friday on The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet podcast following her second DUI in November.
‘I haven’t drank any alcohol, smoked any weed or anything in, like, 72 days,’ she said. ‘It’s not that hard.’
Haddish was first arrested on January 14, 2022 in Peachtree City, Georgia, where she was charged for driving under the influence of marijuana.
On November 24, 2023, Haddish was arrested again in Beverly Hills when she was found asleep behind the wheel of her car, which was still running and stopped in the middle of the street.

‘It’s not that hard,’ said Haddish of the court-mandated sobriety tests she’s required to maintain; seen March 7
She was subsequently ordered to take court-mandated sobriety tests when driving.
‘You know, two years I’ve been waiting for my hearing in Georgia, and what happened in LA triggered Georgia, and they’re like, “OK, we want you to do driving alcohol tests,”‘ she explained. ‘And I’m like, “Cool.”‘
Haddish said ‘there’s been no problem,’ and she’s ‘been passing every single’ test.
‘I wasn’t participating much in the first place, because I was only smoking weed on my period, because it was so painful,’ noted Haddish.
‘I’m learning now, like, I had friends that used to drink and stuff when I was a teenager and they used to do drugs and all that, but it wasn’t really something I was into,’ she recalled.
‘I just thought it was that one person’s problem,’ Haddish continued.
‘And now, with my journey, I’m learning that it’s an epidemic. It’s a big deal, especially with [people in their] 30s.’
Last month, Haddish took a plea deal in her Beverly Hills case, accepting a conviction of reckless driving and having her 2 DUI charges dropped.
