The “Girls Trip” favorite revealed that online bullying reached such extremes over the past year, with commenters labeling her as a “pedo” and “not funny,” prompting her to enlist the help of a digital forensics analyst when death threats started surfacing.

According to the analyst’s findings, 75% of these threats were “created by robots in Malaysia and Iran.”

Despite her celebrated comedy career, Haddish has become a divisive figure due to her legal troubles.

From a DUI arrest in 2022 to a subsequent charge last November, which was later dismissed, and a lawsuit alleging she groomed a fellow comedian, Haddish has faced significant challenges.

Despite her denials and the eventual dismissal of the case, the online vitriol towards Haddish had already intensified, resulting in her comments section being inundated with bullying.

Haddish shared with the Los Angeles Times that she devised a strategy to combat the online hate she was receiving by creating a fake Instagram account under the alias “Sarah,” aiming to “destroy” the trolls by collecting personal details about them.

“I’ve learned how to find people’s information like I pull up the credit report, police records. You can do that for $1.99,” Haddish revealed. “Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get their phone number and I’ll just call them.”

“Oh, I have called people, honey,” Haddish continued. “They be shocked that I called. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that.’ You did a whole video, bitch! You made a full, five-minute video! On the internet, people think they can just say whatever and you’re not gonna say anything. I try my best not to, but I’m a human being.”
