Tiffany Haddish<\/a>\u00a0is taking recent comments from fellow comedian\u00a0<\/span>Mo’Nique<\/a>\u00a0with grace. ET’s Nischelle Turner chatted with the\u00a0<\/span>Girls Trip<\/span><\/em>\u00a0star\u00a0at the Fanatics Super Bowl LVIII party on Saturday night — attended by stars such as one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, Tom Brady, who also\u00a0<\/span>spoke with ET’s special correspondent<\/a> Kylie Rubin, the 17-year-old daughter of Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.<\/span><\/p>\n Haddish, 44, told ET that she’s been “doing comedy shows, resting and catching up with friends,” and embarking on a new angle with her comedy recently.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m on my straight up tell you the truth stuff now,” she shared, adding that she has “no idea” what is going on in the comedy space, but jabs directed at her aren’t phasing her. “I am grateful and thankful that I am on the minds of people that I look up to.”<\/span><\/p>\n The jabs in question stem from Mo’Nique’s recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s\u00a0<\/span>Club Shay Shay<\/em>\u00a0YouTube show\u00a0and podcast<\/a>. Her\u00a0interview premiered on Wednesday, and throughout the nearly three-hour video — which beat <\/span>Katt Williams’ viral interview<\/a> for the longest episode in\u00a0<\/span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/em>\u00a0history —\u00a0the 56-year-old comedian and actress laid out her grievances against several of her peers, including Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry and D.L. Hughley.<\/span><\/p>\n At one point in the conversation, Mo’Nique called out Haddish for a 2018 remark that the<\/span>\u00a0Haunted Mansion<\/span><\/em>\u00a0star made about her husband Sidney Hicks, who is also her manager.<\/span><\/p>\n In conversation with\u00a0<\/span>GQ<\/em><\/a>, Haddish addressed Mo’Nique’s 2018 call for a boycott of Netflix after discussions with the streamer to film a special back in 2017 fell through because\u00a0they made an offer that she found “biased, discriminatory.” It was reportedly\u00a0an opening offer of $500,000 for a one-hour show that Netflix would have complete control over, including owning the copyright and retaining all audio-only rights to the special.<\/span><\/p>\n Mo’Nique subsequently\u00a0filed a\u00a0<\/span>lawsuit in November 2019, claiming racial and gender discrimination<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Netflix reportedly offered or paid Rock, Chappelle, DeGeneres and Gervais 40 times more per show than it offered Mo’Nique, and it offered Schumer 26 times more per show than Mo’Nique,” the lawsuit alleged, according to\u00a0<\/span>CBS News<\/a>. “In short, Netflix’s offer to Mo’Nique perpetuates the drastic wage gap forced upon Black women in the American workforce.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Despite Mo’Nique\u2019s extensive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and documented history of comedic success, when Netflix presented her with an offer of employment for an exclusive stand-up comedy special, Netflix made a low-ball offer that was only a fraction of what Netflix paid other (non-Black female) comedians,\u201d the lawsuit continued. “When the talent was not a Black woman, Netflix offered to pay, and did pay, astronomically more than it pays to Black women like it offered to Mo’Nique.”<\/span><\/p>\n The suit also noted an alleged general pattern of gender and racial discrimination at the streamer, highlighting such instances as when Claire Foy was\u00a0<\/span>paid significantly less than Matt Smith<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<\/span>The Crown.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>It also referenced a $20 million deal for Ellen DeGeneres and a $40 million deal for Ricky Gervais.<\/span><\/p>\n Three years later, the comedian\u00a0and Netflix\u00a0<\/span>agreed to dismiss the lawsuit<\/a>, “including without limitation all claims alleged therein, with prejudice, with each party to bear her or its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’\u00a0fees.”\u00a0No further details were disclosed.<\/span><\/p>\n At the time, <\/span>Haddish discussed Mo’Nique’s call for a boycott<\/a>\u00a0by saying,\u00a0“My business run different than her business. I don’t live her life. I don’t have that husband of hers. I’m looking at how [Netflix has] opened up so many opportunities for black females and comedy.”<\/span><\/p>\n “When my people are dying, that’s when you gonna catch me protesting. I’m not gonna protest because somebody got offered not the amount of money they wanted to get offered,” she added to <\/span>GQ<\/span><\/em>. “If you don’t like what they’re offering you, just no longer do business with them. If I protest Netflix–what about all the black shows that are on there? What about all the other actors that are working on there? All the Indians, the Hispanics, the Asians. My show, <\/span>The Carmichael Show<\/span><\/em>, airs on there right now. It ain’t on NBC.”<\/span><\/p>\n On <\/span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/i>, Mo’Nique shot back at the comments by taking jabs at <\/span>Haddish’s arrest record<\/a>. “When I saw that, it’s like, Tiffany, if you had a husband like mine, you may not have two DUIs,” she said while speaking with Sharpe. “If you had a husband like mine, you may not be caught up in what looks like you could have been grooming a child.”<\/span><\/p>\n In 2022, Haddish and comedian\u00a0<\/span>Aries Spears<\/a>\u00a0were named defendants in a <\/span>lawsuit brought forward by an anonymous female plaintiff<\/a>, Jane Doe, who claimed the comedians groomed her and her brother, an anonymous male plaintiff John\u00a0Doe, to perform sexually suggestive acts\u00a0for comedy videos\u00a0when they were children. The female plaintiff, 22, alleged that she and the male plaintiff, 15, were\u00a014 and 7, respectively, at the time of the alleged sexual abuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
