On Wednesday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed to PEOPLE that the Girls Trip star was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol and a misdemeanor count of driving with .08% blood alcohol content. Her arraignment and plea is scheduled for Dec. 22.

Hours after her arrest, Haddish performed in a previously scheduled stand-up show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, California, and addressed the situation, according to audio obtained by TMZ from an audience member.

In the recording, Haddish is asked what happened "last night" and jokingly replies, "You tell me." She adds, "I had prayed to God to send me a man with a job, career, preferably in a uniform, and I answered my prayers."

The news comes after she was arrested in Georgia for a suspected DUI and improper stopping on a roadway in January 2022.

"Subsequent investigation led to Ms. Tiffany Haddish being arrested for Driving Under the Influence," police told PEOPLE at the time. "She was transported to the Fayette County Jail without incident."

Haddish told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published on Nov. 27. that she is "going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries."
