Tiffany Haddish & Aries Spears’ Accuser Drops Lawsuit Alleging Sexual Abuse
Written by SOURCE on September 20, 2022
The woman who recently accused Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears of child sex abuse in connection with a 2013 Funny or Die sketch has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
TMZ reports the accuser, identified only as Jane Doe in her Los Angeles Superior Court suit, has asked the judge to dismiss the case with prejudice. The 22-year-old’s request was granted, and the lawsuit has been formally dropped.
“My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years, and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us,” the woman said in a statement. “We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”
In August, Jane Doe and her 15-year-old brother, John, sued Haddish and Spears for intentional infliction of emotional distress, gross negligence, sexual battery, sexual harassment and sexual abuse of a minor. Jane and John alleged the comedians recruited them to take part in sexually explicit skits in separate incidents when both were minors.
“The Plaintiffs were both minors and were incapable of consenting to participate in sexually graphic videos distributed and published via ‘Funny or Die’s’ platform,” the lawsuit read. “There was no parent or guardian present.”
