Speaking on the Making Space with Hoda Kotb podcast, she said: “Every time, I try to have fun, no matter what. You should have seen when I got arrested. I wish they could have filmed that whole thing. They probably did.
“But them police had a good time. I felt like, I took a nap. I blew and it was a .03, and I went home, and then I found out how famous I really am.
“I don’t know what people think. I don’t know what they thought. I’m not in their brains. From what I saw on the internet, people were saying, ‘Ah, she’s spiralling out. This is it. Her career is over. She’s done’. And then my friends were just like, ‘Girl, your a** was asleep, wasn’t you’.”
After her arrest, Haddish decided to give up drinking alcohol, but said her decision to go sober had been made before the incident.
She said: “I had already decided. I was barely drinking as it was before then, because every day I would wake up, my body would hurt after I drink. Even after one drink, my body would hurt!”
