Last week, we told you about Tiffany Haddish’s revelation that she created a fake account on social media to clap back at online trolls and naysayers.
Now in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, the “Night School” star seems to have spilled even more of the beans on how she really silences her haters.
Though she denied having a fake Instagram account to snoop on what people are saying, she recently revealed to taking things a step further bringing in extra help to find these trolls and talk to them directly. Per the interview, Haddish shared that she hired a “digital forensics analyst to research where her death threats were coming from — 75% were created by robots in Malaysia and Iran, which made her feel better.”
But that’s not all:
The Los Angeles Times with more:
“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 said. “Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get they phone number and I’ll just call them.”
“Oh, I have called people, honey,” Haddish continued. “They be shocked that I called. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that.’ You did a whole video, bitch! 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.”
Again, Haddish has more than every right to combat the negativity, especially if it’s having a negative effect on her mental health, physical safety and her work. But I’m not so sure this is the best way to go about it.
Elsewhere in the interview, she discusses her new book, her recent endometriosis diagnosis and more. Check it out in full here.
