Haddish used her platform to respond to the incident with her trademark levity, transforming a potentially serious situation into a humorous moment.

As Haddish took the stage, audience members waited for her reaction to the news that had been making the rounds earlier that day.

Haddish addressed the elephant in the room without hesitation, joking about her prayers for a man in uniform being answered, much to the delight of the audience.

“I’ve been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four — in uniform,” Haddish joked, referring to the officers who detained her.

Haddish’s humorous attitude toward the event was refreshing, showcasing her ability to find humor even in difficult situations.

To the delight of the audience, she revealed that her hopes for a military guy had been answered. Haddish expertly turned the incident into a joke, despite not disclosing the specifics of her imprisonment.
