Tiffany Haddish said Monday on Instagram that she regrets having agreed to act in a sketch six years ago that is now one of the focal points of a sexual misconduct lawsuit against her and fellow comedian Aries Spears.
"I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I'm right there with you. Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there's very little that I can say right now," Haddish, who starred in “Girls Trip,” said in the post.
"But, clearly, while the sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn't funny at all — and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it," she added. "I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can."
Haddish and Spears have come under intense scrutiny after a woman and her younger brother accused them in a lawsuit of grooming them when they were children and coercing them to film sexually explicit comedy sketches.
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court last Tuesday by siblings identified as Jane Doe, now 22, and John Doe, who was born in 2007. Jane, who is John's legal guardian, put herself forward as the plaintiff both individually and on her brother's behalf.
