Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears accused of child sexual abuse

Uh oh!

Yikes that’s career ending.

Coulda been worse, could have been eaten.

Those two don’t look like they’re missing any meals.

R2, one has to have a career for it to end.

What is a sizzle reel?

If true, that’s horrible. Haddish sounds like a monster.

I will withhold my judgement until I hear from Auntie Tiff first.

She's hired Andrew Brettler as her lawyer - the same guy who represented Prince Andrew, Armie Hammer, Chris Noth, Danny Masterson and Bryan Singer

He's given a statement to TMZ where he names the mother

I can't stand that race baiter Tiffany Haddish. Couldn't be happier if her career is over.

I didn't read the article OP linked, but isn't there a rule that parent/guardian have to be on site when children are filming? If there was such a person there to oversee the child, I don't see that there's grounds for a case.

R5 I have access to google, do you?

Weird. Aries Spears just went viral for criticizing Lizzo's looks (overweight). He called himself "handsome" and bragged about how much pussy he gets. I have watched Mad TV, but had no idea who Aries Spears was. Now, this. I'm sure Lizzo isn't feeling sorry for him.

Tiffany Haddish, I don't know. I didn't like how dumb she tried to act when asked, on the red carpet about being black in the industry. No, she didn't have to put a fist up in the air, but she was acting so stupid ("I'm not qualified to speak on that" or whatever she said).

Sounds like the mother of these two children (one's an adult, now) is troubled if the girl / older child now has custody of her younger brother.

Yes, R9.

Wtf are Aries Spears and Haddish all about? What and why?

It seems odd the plaintiffs filed pro se.

Half of black Hollywood doesn't like Haddish for various reasons. This story does sound weird but I'm sure there are other parties behind this suit being filed (just like with Ricky Martin).

I had hopes that this project would be a nice career transition for her...

I liked Haddish until she started picking on that reporter who asked about her outfit. The reporter called it a costume and Haddish got all stuck up and high and mighty and mocked her. For a comedian, she took herself way too seriously.

I knew there was something about her I didn’t like. I did not expect it to be”child monster” though

She ready....for jail!

People think you're a pedo if you're over 30 and dating a 19yo, how in the hell did they think this would go over well with any audience these days?

I had to google them both to remember who they were.

Tiffany Haddish is trash

Finally that overrated cow will go away!

And was she REALLY the best they could find to play Joyner?! Haddish isn't fit to carry Flo-Jo's weave.

R17 Learn how to read

You first, R23.

The only mistake they made is not calling it an episode of Law and Order SVU and showing it in NBC.

Sad.

Are they pals with Horatio Sanz?

The video is gross af.

And of course Tiffany flubs her lines.

Jesus. The video is scuzzy.

E.w.

They are both pieces of shit.

If this accusation is true, then she got the facial mole she deserves.

WHY would they make something like this? What was their intended outcome?

I couldn't even get through more than a few seconds of that shit. WTF were they thinking? Who would even find it funny?

R34 I didn't even watch it until the end. That shit was awful. I liked Aries Spears on MadTV, but I've never liked Haddish.

Tiffany Haddish groomed the mom and the kids into trusting her - they called her Aunty.

Lock 'em up. Disgusting POS.

[quote] And was she REALLY the best they could find to play Joyner?! Haddish isn't fit to carry Flo-Jo's weave

I thought that a horrible casting for Flo Jo.

Who sponsored Tiffany Hall’s rise through Hollywood?

Regina Hall was better in Girl’s Trip.

I remember Funny or Die started having creepy videos like that and I gave up on them.

[quote] isn't there a rule that parent/guardian have to be on site when children are filming?

Not at all. It's best practices to have someone representing the child's best interests like a guardian or something whenever the child is filming, but it's not the law. In this case the mom thought that someone was Aunty Tiff.

My thinking is, if they did this to these two, I wonder how many other kids they got to.

It's worth watching to the end, if only to see the "punchline."

Only a sociopath would think a video like that is amusing.

Watched the clip. Yikes. It doesn't have the traditional comedy skit sort of feel. Seems low budget, which adds to the sleazy feel of the kid playing on the bare, wooden floor only wearing underwear. The guy moving his face behind the eyeholes to show that he's licking his lips is such a stupid and contrived device that it further ruins the attempt to make it funny, clever, or edgy.

It's just cheap and sleazy.

Oh hell no.

Go DIRECTLY to jail for this shit.

Don't really seem like a funny skit, just gross.

It's a crap piece and in poor taste, but there's nothing litigious about it. The suit is ridiculous.

Censorship in the Arts is always a bad thing even for a poor production like this one.

I understand the point of it, watch who you leave your kids with especially if they aren't even dressed. Spears was never a looker but jfc he really is disgusting. I've never liked Haddish and her minstrel shucking and jiving bullshit. Regina Hall and Regina King are miles better. Was her mole also named as a co-defendant? And that kid's mom should have put some lotion on his ashy knees.

That video should be banned. I think that fat slob enjoyed what he was doing. Blech.

I don't care whether the video is liable or not, I'm just glad these edgelord comedians are getting taken down a peg. I'm just so tired of these people walking around like they were either prophets or martyrs. You're neither, bitches, you're ugly sewer rats spreading your bad stink around.

"Yikes that’s career ending"

Maybe for White actors. You all do know, the outcome of this is going to come down to race.

Remember when Tiffany admitted to drinking turpentine or some other chemical? Something is way off with her. I had never heard of Aries spears until this week, fwiw.

“A teaspoon of turpentine will not kill you,” says Haddish with the breezy confidence of an unlicensed doctor. “The government doesn't want you to know that if you have a cold, just take some turpentine with some sugar or castor oil or honey and it'll go away the next day.”

She’s… unwell.

The 'guberment' keeps secrets like that from us? ^^^

These ratchet whores raised in the projects really are the missing link.

Tiffany Hashish is rough as fuck.

Getting total lezzer vibes from her

Does she also insist that cold water is DANGEROUS to drink when you have a cold?

I was molested.

If the video is deemed sexually abusive, why is it even allowed in some websites as evidenced by the links here in the thread?

Haddish married William Stewart in 2008. He helped her locate her once-estranged father who walked her down the aisle at their first wedding, which she described as "one of the happiest days of her life".

She filed for divorce in Los Angeles County in 2011.

Haddish became a naturalized Eritrean citizen on May 22, 2019.........She first visited the country in 2018 to bury her Eritrean father, who came to the U.S. as a refugee, and to connect with her relatives.

Haddish has been criticized for her support of dictator Isaias Afwerki, who has been the head of the totalitarian one-party state since its inception.

In 2017, Haddish revealed that she had briefly dabbled in Scientology.

Haddish, whose father was Jewish, had her bat mitzvah ceremony in December 2019 at the age of 40.

Tiffany, you in danger gurl!

R56 Not by mean you weren't!

The kid isn't even hot.

From the article:

[quote]"Andrew Brettler, an attorney representing Haddish, issued a statement on her behalf saying that the plaintiff’s mother “has been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms. Haddish for several years… Now, [the mother] has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action."

That's quite a brazen statement in light of what the produced video shows (low-budget, soft core kiddie pron sizzle reel), which doesn't even include outtakes or behind-the-scenes footage (although every scene with Haddish looks like an outtake.)

The mom was just a fucking idiot to leave these two with Auntie Tiff. And the beautiful irony...."watch who you leave your kids with!" indeed, the person you leave them with may make some soft pron of them.

Some woke people are seeing this as an "opportunity" to "take down" comedians because they can't deal with truth tellers like Dave Chappelle telling them that a man can't be a woman. That's not going to happen. Comedians will be fine.

But this situation has nothing to do with that. This about two adults sexually abusing kids and trying to pass it off as "art".

Also, why do people keep talking about the mom in this situation? Obviously, she is useless if the older abused kid now has legal custody of the younger abused kid. Aunt Tiffany knew how to size up just the type of "mom" who would loan out her kids for this scenario.

Well now it's the sister who has him but she didn't then. And I bet you're right. The mom saying how she was going through and awfu divorce and all kinds of shit...that makes it look predatorial. But she does bear responsibility. I wonder if she was on drugs or something, they're pretty vague about what happened to bring on this breakdown. Poor kids.

This kid's mum is no different to the parents of the kids farmed out to Jacko.

Until this story came out, I thought Tiffany Haddish was a legitimate standup comedian.

I never saw any of her standup work but I've seen interviews where it was mentioned she started in the comedy scene at a young age.

Then I saw this video with Katt Williams. Now, I wonder what is Tiffany's main career? Is she a child procurer like Bryan Singer? And like him was handed an official Hollywood job title to obscure what she actually does?

Katt Williams is pretty fucking wise, he seems to have peoples' numbers.

always love Katt Williams. He took in all of his baby mama children that weren’t his. He is raising them ALL! Whew! I think he has around six or maybe more. He has his own problems sometimes but he always seemed bright and with morals.

I’m r69. Also, these kids are from various women. So, he’s protective of children is my point and I’d live to know what he thinks about Haddish’s new worries

This what getting canceled look like. This what jail time. This what it look like.

[Quote]But this situation has nothing to do with that. This about two adults sexually abusing kids and trying to pass it off as "art".

WTF? How were these kids abused? They were filmed and paid for their work in what was supposed to be an informative message about child danger.

OK, the product is tasteless in many ways, but child abuse? Hell no.

R69 "always seemed bright and with morals"

Um, do you know anything about him?

[quote] If the video is deemed sexually abusive, why is it even allowed in some websites as evidenced by the links here in the thread?

I think people have been posting links from archive websites. I think the videos have been otherwise taken down from the Web. At some point, the archive websites may take down the video.

I like hearing Katt Williams' take on things. Yes, he is a mixed bag and seems to have a chip on his shoulder. But, he has interesting takes and comments.

Katt Williams is the GOAT. Period. He's never been afraid to say exactly what everyone else is thinking.

Is that it? What a bunch of nothing...

If Haddish gets canceled because of this. I won't be surprised if comedian Laci Mosely ends up by pushed in Hollywood to "replace" Haddish.

R72? More like Retarded72.

[quote] They were filmed and paid for their work in what was supposed to be an informative message about child danger.

It wasn't a real PSA, it was a comedy sketch.

It wasn't a PSA or a comedy sketch.

R81 Well it was "supposed" to be a comedy sketch. Poor conception and execution doesn't negate what it is. I don't think it was actual child porn. But, it is uncomfortable and I wouldn't encourage anyone to watch it.

Katt Williams has many issues but not being brutally insightful and not being funny are not issues he has.

This seems so left field. Also, I had no idea she was a comedienne. I thought she was just a late bloomer actress who started taking hosting gigs when she couldn't book enough real acting jobs.

Apparently she is not a comedian ? No standup, no writing credits?

R82, we only have Auntie Tiffany and Aries' word that it was supposed to be a comedy sketch. Their word is dirt.

Also, what else are they going to say?

Auntie Tiffany knew the mom and was just trying to be a mentor to the kids. The sketch work was supposed to help them get on Nickelodeon.

I watched half of the video? Wtf is it supposed to be! A comedy? Entertainment for pedophiles? I’d like for these two ass clowns to explain.

There is footage that went into the "sketch" and probably more that was left out for "private use".

R86 The video was posted on Funny or Die, genius. Do you work for Tiffany and Aries, or are you just the most gullible imbecile ever on this stupid website?

R90, so what if it was posted on Funny or Die? If I link to porn, does that mean it's not porn unless I post it on a porn website?

You're the gullible one.

To clarify, it was posted on the Funny Or Die user-submitted section which anyone can submit things to and which has very little oversight. FOD has posted its own tasteless stupid questionable shit before, but they didn't approve this one and took it down pretty fast.

The video is gross and not even funny, which I believe they genuinely wanted it to be (funny), yet failed.

What makes it egregious and perhaps even worthy of a 100K or more settlement, is that the boy alleges he didn’t want to do what he was asked to do on camera, but was pressured into doing some of it anyhow.

Also, what they asked his sister, the plaintiff to do, was also HIGHLY inappropriate.

The other issue here is that to this family, especially the kids, Hadish wasn’t some casting director or agent. She was their mom’s BFF, and viewed her as if though they were related. Almost as an aunt, and most definitely as an adult whom they trusted.

She fucked up bad. You don’t do this to any kid, ESPECIALLY ones who trust you and were hoping to perhaps get a career going for themselves in the industry, as well.

WTF was this all about?

Why these videos, with specific sexualization of food or play toys?

Sounds like a great cover for grooming, or at least vetting who can be targeted, and who will snitch immediately if so.

Tiffany breaks her silence, admits it wasn't not funny.

And fat ass Spears implies anyone who was aghast at this is an idiot. Fuck him. I bet that Steinberg dude is real happy he mentioned him in the same sentence. "Spears has not yet said anything about the lawsuit on social media. His last Instagram post was on Sept. 2, telling fans to direct message him for the link to the “Spears & Steinberg” podcast he hosts with Andy Steinberg.

“Thank you to all my fans and TRUE BELIEVERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! COMMON SENSE AND RATIONALE IS NOT LOST ON YOU,” he wrote in his caption.

When will she get dropped from playing Jackie Joyner Kersee?

FOD already had a pedo PSA.

R8 is a race-baiting Republican who probably blathers about "CRT"

She's in more trouble than Aries since she supplied the kids.

R98, what about the 17 people who W&W'd me?

R100 Lots of black people dislike Tiff too, she perpetuates a minstrel-y stereotype. This was on LSA, "Tiffany Haddish needs to be evicted from all of Black America's minds for living rent free for continuing harmful stereotypes." It's just the truth and I was one who WW'ed you.

considering she has an interview where she basically brags about pimping out another woman she may want to lawyer up and zip her lip.

I thought she was an asshole ever since she defended Will Smith.

R101, she was at a Met Gala red carpet event in 2019, where she took a bag of fried chicken out of her pocketbook.

At least she didn't insult all of us like Aries did with the whole, "only assholes believe this" type comment he put out. But she's still an asshole and I hope she's remembering how she made that reporter feel so bad.

Well thank you R101.

Latifah, Regina King, Regina Hall, Tichina Arnold, none of them pull that shit in their acting. They just act. I bet they don't like her either.

Dave Chappelle def jerks it to trans porn when he's home alone and these folks were way too obsessed with making this "joke" come to life in front of them. Art (and obviously I use that term BROADLY here) doesn't spring from nowhere, they're all channeling their shit into it

Yeah R108, I would feel so weird as a cameraman to zoom in on some kid's ass and package.

R104 and then she acted batshit offended when some white reporter used the innocent phrase "costume change".

Is Tiffany on drugs?

R105, what do you mean? Initially, Tiff's legal team characterized the victims as shake-down artists.

I think Tiffany must have sobered up and has gotten new counsel.

is she the one who bit beyonce or am I having an acid flashback?

R111 Oh what I read is that she said she was very sorry and knows it wasn't funny. Is she now claiming it didn't even happen or something?

R113, she is saying she is sorry she participated in the project. Which doesn't make sense because Tiffany is the one who scouted and recruited the kids.

"Tiffany is finito. She's now going by the name Tiffany's Had-it and Tiffany Has-been." Yes, let's make up some more good names.

What a creepy and gross video. Zooming in on a kid's ass and having him lie down with legs spread in the air both while he's wearing nothing but underwear? Certainly sounds like child porn to me.

Whoever came up with this idea should never attempt to write "comedy" again. Pay the kids involved whatever money they're asking for.

The article in the Daily Beast is disgusting.

She even went as far as to separate the little boy from his sister, yelling at her, & telling her to stay down stairs as the little boy shot the questionable scenes upstairs, with her and Spears.

The details and optics of this are HORRIBLE.

She needs to get some serious therapy in order for her to genuinely understand why she 100% comes off as a black Ghislaine Maxwell. She also needs to reevaluate who she is surrounded by in Hollywood, and why she feels these are acceptable behaviors for them, as well?

These are all red flags indicating untreated childhood trauma.

I didn't know that Haddish switched attorneys. Her original attorney (Prince Andrew also a client) said something to the effect that the mother and older sister of the boy in the FOD skit said: "The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action."

Yes he sure did R118! Oh please don't let that get memory holed, what a flippant thing to say.

I’m glad so many of these fuckwits are finally being called out.

The only way to stop this perpetual cycle of CSA, is to start scaring the living shit out of these abusers at every turn, and that only works when you hit up what they value more than abusing kids: their MONEY.

Fucking pigs.

What did Kat Williams say?

Katt said that Tiffany Haddish isn't a stand-up comedian, doesn't have any jokes that she's known for. He said that Girls' Trip was packed with talented actors and was well-written. He said that anybody could have played Tiffany's role and would have been successful.

Katt also recently called something, I forget what it was. Bill Cosby maybe? Didn't Aries call out Cosby too or was it Hannibal Buress (who is also great)?

I watched the video thinking people were probably exaggerating and it couldn't be that bad, but it definitely was. I hope they know they probably supplied a million pedos with jackoff material by making this video. If Netflix could survive Cuties, maybe their careers can survive this. But it is certainly very damning.

Why did she stop wearing that white dress she said she'd wear everywhere from now on?

Hannibal Burress was the one who made the joke about Bill Cosby. The information had been out there for years, but somehow, Burress got traction with it.

That's right R126. I love that guy and he's so underrated. Whenever I am in my pool I play his station on amazon.

Tiffany's idiot gay friend Jason Lee was threatening to doxx the 2 victims despite one of them being only14.

[quote]"Spears has not yet said anything about the lawsuit on social media. His last Instagram post was on Sept. 2, telling fans to direct message him for the link to the “Spears & Steinberg” podcast he hosts with Andy Steinberg.

Andy? Are we sure it isn't Joel???

Wait are you kidding R128? Is there a link? He needs to be put on blast for that. What a piece of shit, white knighting for this bitch.

Here, R130.

I'm surprised Tiffany's new team hasn't gotten Jason Lee to remove his tweet yet.

WTF R131? What a fucking creep. I really hope this does not go unnoticed.

Allegedly, Jason was flying to the DR regularly, to fuck a 16 yo minor himself.

He’s what? 40 something?

These people are all fucking gross.

Give any one a little bit of opportunity and money, and you’ll immediately know who they are, because the fucked up one’s will immediately use it to exploit others of lesser means. They’ll even fly to other countries where the age of consent if pretty low, just to convince themselves that some teenager who’s broke, actually loves them.

God, men are fucking ridiculous.

One rumor is that the mom of the kid and Tiffany were lovers. The mom was also a struggling standup supposedly.

I can believe it, R135.

Doesn’t make it any less fucked up. Actually, makes it worse.

Oh, and don’t believe that I don’t think for one minute that the mother didn’t completely understand what was going on here. She may have not of known, or may have, and just didn’t give a shit.

Doesn’t matter if she knew or not. This video was DISGUSTING, and not one of these adults should have done this.

This is the shit that will ruin your career, because you’re not intelligent enough to understand that not everything is art or comedy, especially when minors are involved.

Yep R136, the mom is sure sliding out of any responsibility for this shit. Just assume that anyone who wants their kid to be in show business is a fucking soulless creep.

Aries was accusing all of mad tv of everything about a decade back

from racism to sexual exploitation (because he had to dress in drag) and firing him because his drug habit or to eliminate the threat.

Even still, this story sounds suspect. . . but he should have been aware how risky it was, even there was a crew and guardian in the room. . . the inevitable finished piece would have blowback.

huh.

can't find a compliation of frau porn

of YA novels, teen films, true crime reenactment and lifetime movies based on sensationalized headlines to blame their mothers for.

honestly, when I look at my social feeds...

I think we really need to start calling social services on every new parent.

Even that newspaper joke was stupid. Yeah, as if even a child won't notice two big holes cut in the paper with eyes staring through them.

Could they be charged criminally?

Jason Lee is a Scientologist. So is Haddish.

are there 2 different Jason Lees being conflated here?

I can't figure that out either R149, I don't have twitter so I can't blow up his pic and see if it's THE mustached clam Jason Lee or someone else. His thing says "the Jason Lee" but I still can't tell. But a bunch of people screen capped that shit so that makes me happy.

I think it's this Jason Lee from Love and Hip Hop

Oh okay, that makes more sense then. Thanks R151.

Wait so some clown on some shit BET show bills himself as THE ____? Really? like there's not an actual well known (or better known) one. Well this changes shit, he won't be in any trouble then like a white dude would if he threatened to dox some black kids.

Why would anybody have thought this would be a good idea or acceptable?

She needs to be cancelled. And good. She was getting too big for britches. Especially defending Will and Jada. Fuck her

That video isn’t funny by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just really disturbing.

R155 Her defense of Will and Jada and saying it was romantic for Will to "defend" Jada was just gross. I already disliked her before that, but that shit made me dislike her more.

I liked her but then she used Ebonics in titling her Netflix revue show, “They Ready” and she defended Will Smith!

Never found her funny or talented. She's no Wanda Sykes or Aisha Tyler.

A real comedian would never defend smacking a comedian over a harmless joke.

I stopped liking her when she flipped out on the white female reporter because she used the phrase "costume change".

It made her look like an insecure, humorless race-baiter.

Meanwhile, while talking with a homegirl at the Met Gala she called her outfit "Pimperella".

Was this the event where she pulled out fried chicken?

She must be bipolar.

A lot of black people don't like Tiffany Haddish because she's not funny and she just acts like an outdated ghetto stereotype similar to Lizzo. I always felt Haddish and Leslie Jones were chosen by white people in the media because they wouldn't have had been popular on predominantly black platforms.

[quote]That video isn’t funny by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just really disturbing.

I couldn't even finish that video. It may not have been their intention to make a "comedy sketch" that would appeal to pedos, but that's exactly what their dumb asses did.

Yes, R161.

I don't know what fucking business the stupid pedo pushing bitch had at the Oscars anyway.

Tiffany cyber bullied and doxxed a black doctor (who then attempted suicide) because she was urging people to get the COVID vaccine. Of course Haddish is an anti vaxxer

More on anti vaxxer bully Haddish

Her more will repel any virus. The rest of us aren't that lucky.

I think she might be a sociopath.

Tub of guts Aries, too.

Tiffany won't be asked to be involved with stuff like this anymore.

R170 I always liked the premise of that show but now that it has been hosted by both Haddish and Bill Cosby I'm afraid Art Linkletter's legacy has ended, at least for awhile.

Art's legacy has been ended.

I didn't know about the cyberbullying and the doxing of the doctor regarding vaccines. I hate more now. I hope she's fucking cancelled.

Why would you need a vaccine if you take turpentine? Think about it people.

R162 I don’t think that’s entirely fair because take away the trappings of fat and Lizzo is actually a talented musician and singer. Take away the trappings of fat and “ghetto fabulous” and Mo’Nique is a talented actor and comic.

Take away the trappings of “ghetto fabulous” and schtick and I don’t know if we can say that Tiffany is a talented comic.

I liked Tiffany on the first thing I remember seeing her on The Carmichael Show. But, that show was smart to use her in limited doses. I haven't liked her nearly as much in things since then, especially when she plays a larger role. She damn near ruined the Laugh-In anniversary special and it is difficult to screw up Laugh-In.

I don’t know who she is. I remember the ugly guy from Mad Tv.

In a New York Daily News article dated September 5th, the article stated Aries Spears molested a 7 year old boy and filmed it: "Spears allegedly molested the 7-year-old boy as part of a video called “Through A Pedophile’s Eyes.” WTF?

"Days after an anonymous woman sued Tiffany Haddish for allegedly grooming her and her brother while they filmed sexually suggestive sketches in 2013 and 2014 when they were minors, the “Girls Trip” comedian said she regrets making one of the projects. “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, 42, wrote on Instagram Monday."

“But, clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all — and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it. I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can.”

According to a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court against Haddish and comedy partner Aries Spears, Jane Doe, whose mother is a “longtime friend” of Haddish, was 14 when she attended a 2013 comedy camp where Haddish was a guest speaker. There, Haddish allegedly told the girl that she had “a perfect role for her.”

Haddish drove Jane Doe to a studio where she and Spears showed the teen a video of an older man and a younger woman eating a sandwich while “moaning and making sexual noises as they both ate the sandwich in a manner that simulated the act of fellatio,” according to the lawsuit, obtained by the Daily Beast. Spears told Jane Doe to recreate the actions and sounds and, when she didn’t, Haddish then explained how to do so, “including movements, noises, moaning and groaning,” the lawsuit alleges. Jane Doe claims she obliged and was paid $100."

"A year later, in the summer of 2014, Haddish “offered to book, arrange, and film” Jane Doe’s younger brother, identified only as John Doe, for a Nickelodeon sizzle reel at Spears’ home, according to the lawsuit."

"There, Spears allegedly molested the 7-year-old boy as part of a video called “Through A Pedophile’s Eyes.” He also allegedly gave John Doe a drink that made him “sleepy.” The video was uploaded as user-generated content to comedy website Funny or Die, which said it removed the clip in 2018 “immediately after becoming aware of its existence.”

“The plaintiffs were both minors and were incapable of consenting to participate in sexually graphic videos distributed and published via ‘Funny or Die’s’ platform,” the lawsuit reads. “There was no parent or guardian present.”

Lawyers for Haddish and Spears separately accused Jane Doe, who is representing herself and her brother, of a “shakedown.”

Wait...what do they mean by "molested" I think we have different definitions.

R179 Lorna, gish it a rshest.

I just don't see how they ever thought it would be funny. "A kid is on the floor in his underwear and a pedophile wants to fuck him. Haha!" Where is the joke? I can't see how they could be stupid enough to think something like this wouldn't backfire on them.

R181 I mean I could see, that set up being funny only if it was used as a quick cut away thing, like Family Guy does. But, I can't understand why they would think dragging it out for a long time would be funny.

I remember Aries Spears from a MadTV sketch about the Wizard of Oz where he played a stranded, one-legged slave that Dorothy takes pity on. He responds by grabbing and kissing her and then seducing her on the side of the yellow brick road with her ruby slippers jutting up in the air. In retrospect, I think Spears may have written that sketch!

I bet Lizzo is laughing somewhere and eating cheese fries.

Why is this just coming out now? You would think that that kid show that she hosted would have known about the video by vetting her for the job.

Because people who produce kid’s TV shows are soooo concerned about child exploitation?

r182 Family Guy actually has a whole subplot about a pedophile with Herbert's character.

[quote]"Days after an anonymous woman sued Tiffany Haddish for allegedly grooming her and her brother while they filmed sexually suggestive sketches in 2013 and 2014 when they were minors, the “Girls Trip” comedian said she regrets making one of the projects.

Ha -- I bet the fuck she does!

But one of the rumors about this is that Tiffany was doing the film recording in the parts where she wasn't on camera.

This wasn't a big production on a professional set. It was filmed at Aries' house.

[quote]This wasn't a big production on a professional set. It was filmed at Aries' house.

In a secluded cul-de-sac nestled in the San Fernando Valley?

Tiffany Haddish is a Giant Lesbian; I don't know about Aries Spears being a Homo!!

Everyone knows her affair with Common was a big fucking bearding contract, Common is a big old FAG!! She is a Lesbiana preying on young gurls!!!

Haddish is in Scientology

She is still a "big olde high yellow Black dyke"

r193 Tf? She is not "high yellow." Do you even know what that means?

Tisha Campbell, LisaRaye McCoy, Raven Symone, they're high yellow.

So OP, one photo...red-boned and another photo...High yellow!!

Can we agree Tiffany is a "clam-slammer& her affair with Common was a "Black bearding contract" cause he's a Big olde Black fag!!

Aries Spears BREAKS SILENCE In regards To Skit with Tiffany Haddish

R194 Yeah, too many people think High Yellow just means not dark. You are right she would not be considered High Yellow, she doesn't act it either.

R187 I know that I just meant in the style of it. Like if the sketch focused on something else and someone said some vaguely sexual and then you cut to a few seconds of a man peeking through a newspaper at a kid. That could be funny. But, making that the whole sketch isn't funny and crosses the line between funny and exploitation.

r197 Yeah, it's also exploitation because it involves an actual child. That's what was wrong with the Netflix movie Cuties, also.

South Park also had an entire episode dedicated to NAMBLA and it was still funny because its execution didn't require the involvement of actual children. It was also just better written because, well, it's South Park. Trey and Matt actually know what they're doing, lol. That NAMBLA episode was just hilarious.

This, right here, is just good writing. I don't know what in the fuck that Haddish/Spears shit is.

“Through the Eyes of a Pedophile” — How meta.

Aries Fatso Spears has some nerve.

Katt Williams’ criticism of Tiffany is so accurate because even in this stupid skit she can’t act, forgets her lines and can’t improvise.

She’s just not funny.

I always thought it was complete joke that Haddish won an Emmy for her SNL episode. She was awful as fuck in that. Haddish and Leslie Jones are shitty actresses who need to disappear from Hollywood.

Is it true the little boy had to rub lotion on that creature which looks like something you’d catch rummaging through your garbage at 3AM? The child must have been terrified AND traumatized.

R203- Ruined for life, poor thing.

That sketch is basically a remake of the Uncle Roy sketches from SNL with Buck Henry, only using a real child. Why on earth would they think this was funny, or ok?

R205 A remake? In the SNL sketches, did they strip down to their underwear and rub lotion on each other? Did the child “enjoy” the experience and go on to instigate the sexual encounters? I find that hard to believe.

R206 ah OK, I only watched the beginning. But I think if you see those snl sketches, you'll be surprised at how similar the premise it. They always start with the oblivious parents.

SNL had that dumb ass sketch when Dwayne Johnson hosted several years ago about a scientist or an inventor type who wanted to invent a robot or something to molest kids. The last time Louis CK hosted there was a sketch where he played a guy perving on teen girls.

R208 They also did a skit a few times about how it is ok for hot female teachers to fuck male students.

Dave Chappelle also did a bit in “Sticks and Stones” about how he didn’t believe Michael Jackson’s accusers — but — had they been molested, at least it was by the King of Pop, so it couldn’t be THAT bad.

R208 R209: The difference with these other comics who make pedo jokes is that they don’t act out the pedophilia with actual kids, in a secluded house, with no guardians to watch over them. Even the boy’s sister was told to leave before the filming, probably because Haddish and Spears knew she would have protested over all the inappropriate things her brother was forced to do.

Someone posted the video on here and it was disgusting. It was no SNL uncle Roy skit. Somehow I bet it was written by Spiers and used Haddish to get the kids. He seems acts and looks like a disgusting pig. The video was dirt quality. The shitty quality of a “gonzo” video. Spiers and Haddish have no excuses. The video speaks for itself.

r209 Yep.

Oh but I loved that skit R212!

Here's the Uncle Roy. Definitely the way the parents are oblivious is similar. But yeah ZERO question that the newer sketch is really disgusting, and unfunny, and is indulging in what it claims to be making fun of. Should be investigated, I agree.

In one of the Roy sketches, not sure if its this one, at the end, the mother says "Roy, you're one in a million" and Buck Henry replies "Ohh, I think I'm much more common than you'd suspect." Kind of chilling in retrospect. He wasn't wrong about that.

My God, the Spears family is all fucked up!

Well, somebody made coin today

....

Who is going to hire either of them now?

R218, the charges were dismissed. James Franco gets works, and he was busted hitting on a teen girl

Glad the abusers are black. Had they been white, it would have just been the “white man” bringing down a “successful” black man and black woman bs excuse.

Maybe they can be cast in the next Woody Allen movie.

Will this bring Tiffany's arrogance down a notch or two?

Well, it definitely brought her bank account down (I say 500,000 dollars)

She is a "horrible nasty Black predator Lesbian"

Do not understand why people find her funny?

Aries’ fanboys keep cooing about what a genius impressionist he is. Well, here’s his gravely-voices Bill Cosby, who he seems to confuse with Redd Foxx. My great aunt can do a better Cosby impression than this third-rate rodeo clown.

$$$$$ can get you out of anything

Tiffany is a female Michael Jackson

R225, that must be why she's never been accused by anyone else. *rolls eyes*

R220 only believes this bullshit because he wants to rant against black people

R222 thinks a black woman is too "uppity"

R221 I only cast whites.

R229 So did I until those "cancel culture" fuckers practically forced me to cast Luis Guzman as Gomez Addams. *sigh*
