Tiffany Haddish might be skipping eggnog this holiday season after being ordered to refrain from drinking following her DUI arrest.
A Georgia judge has mandated that the famous comedian and actress refrain from partaking in alcoholic drinks or using illegal substances following her second DUI arrest. Additionally, Haddish is required to undergo random drug testing until further notice.
Tiffany Haddish Continues To Pay For DUI Arrest
The holiday season is going to be filled with virgin drinks for Haddish after a Georgia judge presiding over her case ordered her to avoid illegal drugs and alcohol last week. The decision came after prosecutors filed a petition concerning the terms of her bond for charges in California last month.
Prosecutors explicitly requested the inclusion of a provision stating that the "Girls Trip" actress is forbidden from consuming alcohol and must undergo weekly drug testing.
As per the ruling, Haddish is currently prohibited from consuming alcohol or using substances, including HEM products like CBD. The judge also specified that any prescription drugs must adhere to therapeutic limits.
Furthermore, she is obligated to undergo a drug test panel that screens for common illicit drugs, including testing for ETG and ETS, which are alcohol metabolites.
In case you missed it, the Hollywood star was arrested on November 24 after police received a report about an individual sleeping in her Tesla in the middle of the street.
The Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that officers approached Haddish and took her into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence. After spending several hours in custody, she was released upon posting a $1,666 bond.
While addressing the DUI incident, she detailed her busy Thanksgiving Day, commencing with providing meals to underprivileged individuals at The Laugh Factory before presenting a Holiday Special to onlookers.
She also enjoyed and danced to the tunes of the yacht rock band Yächtley Crëw during their performance at the El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, as seen in an Instagram post. Though not explicitly discussing her alcohol consumption, Haddish seemingly took some accountability for her actions, expressing during an interview:
"I'm going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries."
She then unequivocally declared and assured that "this will never happen again." It is worth noting that Haddish had a previous arrest for falling asleep in a car after smoking weed in Georgia on January 14, 2022.
The case is still ongoing, as indicated in court documents obtained by RadarOnline.
Haddish Announced Her Readiness For Her 'Next Chapter' In Birthday Post
Despite the DUI situation, Haddish was more than happy to mark her 44th birthday on December 3. To that end, the author of "The Last Black Unicorn" shared a clip of herself performing one of her comedy songs onstage with a band.
As The Blast noted, she wore a shimmery pink and black dress paired with a sheer cape. Completing her look, she added dainty diamond earrings, a bracelet, and some rings, along with a black headband featuring a shiny front and a pink feather-like attachment at the side.
"Happy Birthday to me!!!!! I am ready for my next chapter in life. I have more music and Another Book coming and I can't wait to share with the world all of the work I have been doing for My Family and All my Real Unicorns," Haddish began in the accompanying caption of the Instagram post.
The observational comedian continued with an appreciation for "the band that helped me put that show together, especially @dimondsareforever, my musical director, and @andydrachman for filming it and making it look beautiful."
She went on to acknowledge "the beautiful woman in Eritrea that made my dress," whose name she could not recall, before concluding:
"I told you I would wear it, and the world would see. I keep my promises. Anyone who knows me knows that. It might take some time, but I always keep my promise. Just ask God."
Even though she limited the comment section, more than 4k people still flooded her with praise, with one person gushing, "Yaaaaaaaaas Cousin! You look amazing, and you sound amazing!!!! I love everything about this and YOU! Happy Birthday, Beautiful One!"
A second fan agreeably penned, "You do keep your promises, and we love you for that. You're so authentic and amazing. Happy birthday, Tiffany," and a third added, "I truly think you are a fantastic entertainer. So smart and talented. We love you and want you around for a very long time. Stay strong and take care of yourself, as you only deserve the best!!"
