Tiffany Haddish on molestation claims: ''I know people have questions"
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Tiffany is speaking out after being accused of child sex abuse.
American comedian Tiffany Haddish is finally addressing molestation allegations.
The 'Girls Trip' star and fellow comedian Aries Spears are facing a lawsuit related to skits they did in 2013 and 2014 involving two minors.
According to the lawsuit, the then-minors - who are named Jane Doe and John Doe - allege that the comedians made them participate in inappropriate skits that were sexually suggestive.
The siblings were reportedly 14 and seven when they took part in the skits. One of the skits was titled, 'Through A Pedophile's Eyes'.
It showed Aries "lusting" over a minor. Tiffany says she deeply regrets participating in the skits.
"I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you. Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now. But, clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn't funny at all – and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it. I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can,” the 42-year-old wrote on Instagram.

According to CNN, the 2013 skit saw one of the minors having to watch a video that showed a man and woman "moaning and making sexual noises as they both ate the sandwich in a manner that simulated the act of fellatio".
The 14-year-old was allegedly then told to mimic what she saw in the video.
Social media users have called for Tiffany and Aries to be cancelled over the skits.
"That Aries Spears and Tiffany Haddish video… JUST SICKENING," one Twitter user wrote.
Another user added: "#TiffanyHaddish & Aries Spears are an example of what happens when you think everything is f**kin funny & think there are no rules or boundaries in comedy. The last decade has seen many a comedian claim nothin is off limits & anyone who doesnt like it is soft sensitive & fake woke."
