"Tiffany Haddish Reveals Skills in Tracking Down Critics": Haddish Addresses Her Instagram Bullies

In today's digital era, it's common for celebrities to face online trolling, and Tiffany Haddish is no exception. The Girls Trip star doesn't take such negativity lying down. In an interview with the L.A. Times, Haddish revealed her tactic: she tracks down the trolls and gives them a call, sometimes even with details as intricate as their credit reports and police records for just $1.99.

This bold move was prompted by a barrage of online hate in late 2022, stemming from an anonymous lawsuit claiming Haddish had "groomed" a young woman for sexually suggestive comedy sketches. Although the lawsuit was dropped, and the anonymous woman recanted her story, the backlash wasn't easy to brush off.

In response, Haddish created an anonymous Instagram account to tackle the trolls. However, the actor felt that wasn't enough. Taking it a step further, she reached out to them directly, leaving the trolls astonished that the movie star had actually called them. It's easy to see why, considering the extensive videos they had made at her expense, believing she wouldn't respond.

Haddish explained, "They be shocked that I called... You did a whole video [bitch]! You made a full, five-minute video! On the internet, people think they can just say whatever, and you not gonna say anything." While she tries her best not to engage, Haddish admitted, "I'm a human being."

The rise of social media has drastically altered how average people can interact with celebrities, although such practices aren't new – people have been exploiting technologies since the early 20th century to harass famous individuals. However, with so many people hiding behind their keyboards, it seems unfathomable for celebrities to engage meaningfully. After all, trolls often thrive on attention, and celebrity phone calls could incentivize more hostile behavior.

Despite this, Haddish opted not to back down. Perhaps she's setting a precedent for other celebrities to tackle online trolls head-on, choosing not to let negativity prevail. After all, as Haddish pointed out, "I try my best not to, but I'm a human being."
