I aint that keen on her humor but damn, I never knew Tiffany Haddish had such a difficult life. Glad she made it out.
Haddish was born and raised in
Los Angeles, California.
[2] Her father, Tsihaye Reda Haddish, was a refugee from
Eritrea, and was from an
Eritrean Jewish family.
[4][5] Her mother, Leola, was an African-American small business owner and a
Jehovah's Witness.
[5][6][7][8] After Haddish's father left when she was three years old, her mother remarried and went on to have more children; Haddish has two half-sisters and two half-brothers.
[9]
In 1988 while living in
Colton, California,
[4] Haddish's stepfather tampered with the brakes on her mother’s car, leading to an accident in which Leola suffered severe brain damage. The tampering was allegedly intended to harm Haddish and her siblings as well, but they had opted to stay home on the day of the accident.
[10] The brain damage possibly triggered Leola's
schizophrenia. Haddish, then age nine and the oldest of her five siblings, became the primary caregiver for her family.
