People reports in a recent interview during David Letterman’s Netflix series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction Haddish opened up about her mother, who turned into a completely different person after a brain injury she suffered during a devastating car crash.
“I didn’t want to be with my mom no more,” Haddish said. “She had became very violent and very verbally abusive. You never knew who she was going to be. Every day was like a different day.”
Haddish also admitted in her memoir The Last Black Unicorn that her mother became very violent towards her and abused her both mentally and verbally on a daily basis.
“After the accident, oh my God, she would say the worst things to me, like ‘You look like your ugly ass daddy, I hate him. I hate you.’” Haddish wrote. “She couldn’t get all her words out, so she’d just punch me. Just full on. Because of her, I can take a punch like nobody’s business. Teachers would ask, ‘Why’s Tiffany’s lip busted?’ I didn’t say anything. As bad as she was to me, I still couldn’t help but love her.”
