Tiffany Haddish Pleads Not Guilty in DUI Case

The comedian was arrested in January 2022 and November 2023 for DUI.

Tiffany Haddish has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor charges following her DUI arrest over Thanksgiving weekend.

During an arraignment on Wednesday, Haddish's defense counsel appeared on her behalf and entered a not guilty plea, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office told ET. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2024.

The Los Angeles District Attorney previously confirmed to ET that the 44-year-old actress was charged with two misdemeanors, one for driving under the influence of alcohol and another for driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol content.

TMZ was first to report the news of Haddish's charges. ET has reached out to Haddish for comment.

Last month, the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to ET that Haddish was cited by officers after witnesses allegedly observed her stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, apparently asleep with her car still running.

This incident marked Haddish's second arrest for driving under the influence, with the first occurring in January 2022. At that time, she was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, after officers responded to a report of someone sleeping behind the wheel. Haddish faced charges of DUI and improper stopping on a roadway, eventually being released after posting a $1,666 bond.  

When ET exclusively spoke to Haddish following her November arrest, she pledged that "this will never happen again," adding, "I'm going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries."
