Haddish dealing with recent losses
Haddish’s DUI arrest comes after a recent string of losses in her life. That included her friend Bob Saget, who passed away last Sunday. Following his death, Haddish shared a poignant tribute on Instagram to the late actor and comedian.
“@bobsaget I am going to miss you so much. You have brought so much joy to this planet. You were one of my 1st Great teachers. You always made me feel safe and worthy. You always made me laugh. Now you make God and all the Angels laugh I Love you forever,” Haddish wrote in an Instagram caption.
Her Instagram post included a photo of her seated near Saget on the show Friday Night Vibes. She also posted a video clip in which Saget shares his memory of meeting Haddish and words of wisdom he gave her regarding the late Richard Pryor.
She also recently lost another close friend, producer Carl Craig. Sources told TMZ that she also recently lost her grandmother and pet dog.
The 42-year-old was part of several films in 2021, including Bad Trip and The Card Counter. She’s got several more projects on the way in 2022, with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Haunted Mansion among them.
