Tiffany Haddish is said to be “clear and grounded” about her newfound sobriety.
The comic was arrested last year for driving under the influence after a similar incident in 2022. Haddish has now been sober for nearly three months. Her friend, photographer Amanda de Cadenet, said she is extremely impressed with how Haddish is handling her sober journey.
“I’m used to people talking about their sobriety in a way that feels … some people are disingenuous. … [W]hat I felt with Tiffany was that she was very clear and grounded.,” de Cadenet, who recently interviewed Haddish on her “The Conversation” podcast and has been sober for 20 years, told Page Six.
“She had great insights about herself during her period of time that she’s been sober — [which is] not very long — to have had all of those insights. Sobriety is a way of life that she will continue to choose because it seems like it’s really working for her … it sounded to me like she’s very focused on healing both physically, and emotionally,” de Cadenet added.
During her appearance last month on de Cadenet’s podcast, Haddish said she hadn’t “drank any alcohol, smoked any weed or anything in, like, 72 days.”
“It’s not that hard because it wasn’t really like my main thing anyway. You know what I found out my main thing is? Meat, chicken, beef … and candy.” Haddish added.
“I consider myself being obedient to the law. It’s court-mandated. Two years, I’ve been waiting for my hearing in Georgia, and what happened in LA triggered Georgia,” the Girls Trip star replied, referring to her two DUI arrests, when de Cadenet asked if she considered herself sober.
“When that was all taken away from me, it was like, ‘OK, let me try this whole vegan [thing] … I’m going to try raw vegan and see how that goes,” Haddish added, saying she only smoked marijuana to deal with her endometriosis.
A source also recently told Page Six that Haddish is “serious about her sobriety.”
“She’s very into her health right now. She’s going through her changes and is doing amazing,” they added.
