Tiffany Haddish, an actress, has pleaded no guilty to reckless driving in her Los Angeles DUI case, sources say. This follows her arrest in November 2023 on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Haddish went to court on Thursday, February 1st, and accepted a plea deal that resulted in the dismissal of two misdemeanor DUI charges against her. Instead, she was convicted of reckless driving, which is a lesser charge. As part of the agreement, she will be placed on probation for one year and must perform 40 hours of community service.
“Ms Haddish has agreed to a simple vehicle code violation – not driving under the influence, which has been dismissed — and looks forward to this being behind her,” her lawyer, Alex Spiro, told TMZ.
This comes after Haddish publicly addressed the event, adding that she planned to “get some help” to avoid such circumstances in the future. This plea agreement indicates that she has taken steps to address the issue.
However, Haddish is still facing a separate DUI accusation coming from an arrest in Georgia in May 2022. That case is still unresolved, and it’s unclear how she’ll proceed.
The actress’s career has not been adversely damaged by the judicial proceedings. Her forthcoming projects include the animated picture The Addams Family 2 and the comedy Easter Sunday.
