Lt. Chris Coulter of the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that Haddish was booked on suspicion of DUI charges. Haddish fell asleep behind the wheel in the middle of Beverly Drive, TMZ reported, around 5:45 a.m. There were no injuries reported. She later told ET that her Tesla had parked itself when she fell asleep, but was still partially blocking the road.
She was arrested in Georgia on a similar charge in early 2022. Haddish, who recently appeared in “The Haunted Mansion,” was previously arrested Jan. 14, 2022 after driving into the yard of a residence in Peachtree City, Ga., according to a statement from the local police department. Officers had received a report around 2:30 a.m. of a driver asleep at the wheel on Highway 74.
At the Laugh Factory’s annual Thanksgiving meal donation to the community on Thursday, Haddish was performing onstage and helping serve participants, with local TV news capturing the festive event. The comedy club has hosted free Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for anyone in need for 43 years.
Later that night, she attended Yachtley Crew show at the El Rey Theatre.
Haddish also had a recurring role in “The Afterparty” and “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” after gaining attention on “The Carmichael Show” and in the comedy hit “Girl’s Trip.”
Later in 2022, Haddish was named in a lawsuit by a Jane Doe who alleged child abuse while she and her brother were filming a comedy skit with Haddish when they were minors. The suit was dismissed with prejudice on the plaintiff’s request, meaning that the lawsuit cannot be filed again.
Variety has reached out to Haddish’s reps for comment.
