Tiffany Haddish has revealed the extreme lengths she goes to track down internet trolls and confront them after receiving hoards of death threats and negative comments online.
To combat online harassment, the 44-year-old comedian hired a digital forensics analyst to research where the threats were coming from – and even admitted to calling her haters up on the phone and addressing them one-on-one.
‘Oh, I have called people, honey,’ she told The Los Angeles Times.
‘They be shocked that I called. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that.”
‘You did a whole video, b—! 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,’ she said.
She was, however, pleasantly surprised to find out 75 percent of these comments were created by robots in Malaysia and Iran, she said.

Since the LA Times feature was published, Haddish has received even more hate, ‘P*do & not funny … now all I gotta do is wait for @tiffanyhaddish to find me,’ one commented
She also admitted to creating fake social media accounts, using the alter ego ‘Sara,’ who promised to ‘destroy’ anyone hating on her by exposing details about their personal lives.
‘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 told the LA Times. ‘Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get they phone number and I’ll just call them.’
This comes after the ‘Girls Trip’ star faces increasingly negative comments online which led her to block users from commenting certain words and phrases on her Instagram, including ‘pedo’ and ‘not funny.’

Haddish has also experienced a surge in anti-Semitic comments following a recent trip to Israel to explore her Jewish roots.
Since October 7, Haddish has been a vocal advocate against anti-Semitism and has proudly stood for her Jewish identity.
Additionally, since starring in the new film ‘Girls Trip,’ other actors reportedly became jealous seeing her career flourish.
‘Then the jealousy started with other actors and stuff. They’re like, “How is she winning?” Everybody was cheering her on for being herself, and then that’s the same thing that people got mad about. “She’s doing too much!” But she’s been doing too much.’

Last week, Haddish was promoting her upcoming book I Curse You With Joy when she admitted to having a burner social media account.
As she was promoting her new book at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, she spoke about how people like to talk about her on the internet, saying she, ‘made me a fake page and now I’m talking s**t.’
Haddish added, ‘Why is this lady attacking me?’ You talk about what goes around comes around, don’t worry.’
When asked if she has a ‘Finsta,’ meaning a fake Instagram, Haddish acknowledged, ‘I don’t know about fake Instagram, but I definitely got fake Twitter. I mean a fake X, a fake X.’
She didn’t divulge into further details about her fake X/Twitter account, or how long she’s had it for.
This also comes after she opened up about her November 2023 DUI arrest, revealing to People she’s been both celibate and sober since.
‘I’m very sober. I haven’t had a drink since. When I sit back and look at my life, everything that’s crazy that’s happened is because somebody or myself had alcohol in their system,’ she admitted.
‘This is my challenge to people. Stop drinking for six months and just see how your life changes,’ she said.
‘You’re going to have your snatched body back, you’re going to see your relationships will be better and you’ll stop dealing with people you don’t need to be dealing with. My issue was, I was waking up next to ugly men,’ she admitted.
She added that becoming both sober and celibate, ‘went together,’ stating, ‘With alcohol [my mind] would just be like ‘You’re horny, let’s just do it.”
