Google PlayTiffany Haddish and Aries Spears have been accused of grooming and molesting two underage children for a Funny or Die sketch.
A lawsuit obtained by TMZ alleges that Haddish coerced a 14-year-old girl into starring in a sexually suggestive video in which the Girls Trip star taught her how to imitate performing fellatio. The girl claims her 7-year-old brother was taken to a home where the sketch, titled “Through a Pedophiles Eyes,” was filmed. He was also allegedly molested by Haddish and Spears.
Haddish’s attorney Andrew Brettler dismisses the lawsuit as an attempt to extort money from his client.
“Plaintiff’s mother, Trizah Morris, has been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms. Haddish for several years,” Brettler said in a statement sent to Complex. “Every attorney who has initially taken on her case—and there were several—ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down. Now, Ms. Morris has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action.”
The mother of the two children, who was allegedly friends with Haddish prior to filming the sketch, says she couldn’t reach a $15,000 settlement with Spears and moved forward with the lawsuit in pursuit of damages.
