Tiffany Haddish has addressed her run-in with the law that happened earlier this month during an interview on Monday.
Appearing via video chat on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress, 42, briefly told host Jimmy Fallon about the moment she was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Georgia early in the morning of Jan. 14.
When asked by Fallon, 47, if she would like to discuss the incident, Haddish — who split from Common in November after a year of dating — jokingly replied: “I can say this, Jimmy… I’ve been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four… in uniform.”
After the laughter died down, Tiffany Haddish continued, saying, “And now I got a really great lawyer, and we’re going to work it out. I’ve got to get my asking of things to God a little better!”
Fallon replied, “Yeah, you’ve got to be a little clearer!”
The Girls Trip star was arrested by Peachtree City police officers earlier this month for a suspected DUI and improper stopping on a roadway.
According to police, officers received a 911 call around 2:30 a.m. about a driver who had allegedly fallen asleep at the wheel on Highway 74. While en route, officers located a car that matched the description from the 911 call and conducted a traffic stop.
“Subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence,” police said. “She was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident.”
Haddish arrest followed a difficult few weeks for the actress that included four deaths in her personal life: her grandmother (who raised her), her pet dog, and close friends Bob Saget and Carl Craig.
Tiffany Haddish also discussed the deaths of both Saget as well as her grandmother while talking to Fallon on Monday.
