sexual abuse allegations made against her and fellow comedian Aries Spears.In an Instagram post on Monday, the 42-year-old wrote, “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.”“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,” she said of a video formerly published online titled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes.”“I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can,” Haddish concluded.
The statement comes after a now-22-year-old woman and her 14-year-old brother filed a lawsuit on Aug. 30 against the jokesters, alleging the pair groomed and sexually abused them during their childhoods.
Spears and Haddish are both accused of intentional infliction of emotional distress, gross negligence, sexual battery, sexual harassment and sexual abuse of a minor.Haddish is also accused of negligent supervision/failure to warn, breach of fiduciary duty and constructive fraud.
