Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears respond to child sexual abuse lawsuit
On Tuesday, a lawsuit was filed against Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears over child sexual abuse.
The lawsuit claimed that both the celebrities coerced a pair of siblings, identified as Jane Doe (now 22) and John Doe (now 14) when they were kids, to act in explicit skits.
Haddish’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler however denied the accusations during an interview.
He said, ‘Plaintiff’s mother, Trizah Morris, has been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms. Haddish for several years.’
Brettler continued, ‘Every attorney who has initially taken on her case — and there were several — ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down.’
Moreover, he concluded with, ‘Now, Ms. Morris has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action.’
Spears’ attorney, Debra Opri on the other claimed, ‘He isn’t going to fall for any shakedown.’
More about the lawsuit
Trizah Morris clai med that she and Tiffany Haddish first met through their mutual comedy circuit.
Furthermore, during a comedy camp in 2013, Haddish asked Morris whether her 14-year-old daughter would like to feature in a skit. However, it is reported that only Haddish and Aries Spears were aware of the plot.
Nevertheless, it is alleged that the shoot included Haddish teaching Jane how to mimic fellatio for a skit where kids argued over a sub sandwich.
Jane mentions in the lawsuit, ‘I tried to mimic what they wanted me to mimic, but it still came out just super uncomfortable.’
Additionally, a year later in 2014, the Girls Trip star supposedly again approached Morris. However, this time she wanted to recruit her 7-year-old son for a reel on Nickelodeon.
Regardless, it is alleged that John was filmed for a video titled, ‘Through A Pedophile’s Eyes.’ It is reported that the clip was uploaded on Funny Or Die and other online sites.
The lawsuit states that the video, ‘shows Spears lusting over the 7-year-old child and molesting him throughout the video. Haddish was present during the filming of the entire video and aided, abetted, and watched Spears sexually molest a child.’
