It appears things have finally gotten settled when it comes to Tiffany Haddish’s Thanksgiving 2023 DUI case.
On Thursday, it was revealed that the “Like a Boss” star pleaded no contest to reckless driving and took a plea deal which resulted in her getting the two misdemeanor charges dropped altogether. According to People, her charges were reduced down to “wet reckless,” which means Haddish’s license won’t be suspended like it would have been had she actually been charged with a DUI.

However, she was handed down a “Watson admonition” which is a formal statement that must be signed after being convicted of DUI that shows you acknowledge the harm in driving under the influence and can be used against you if you ever cause a DUI accident in the future.
Additional consequences for the “Girls Trip” star included: 40 hours of community service, summary probation for a year, mandatory enrollment in a Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s (MADD) Victim Impact Program, mandated attendance to a Hospital and Morgue (HAM) Program (a.k.a. a driver’s education program), and a fine.
In a statement to People, Haddish’s attorney said: “Ms. Haddish has agreed to a simple vehicle code violation (not driving under the influence, which has been dismissed) and looks forward to this being behind her.”
As previously reported by The Root, the “Night School” star was arrested in the wee hours on Black Friday morning in Nov. 2023, in Los Angeles after having previously performed at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood earlier that evening for the club’s 43rd annual free community Thanksgiving feast.
At around 5:45 a.m. PT, someone alerted Beverly Hills Police Department that there was a person stopped in the middle of Beverly Drive, with the driver reportedly “slumped over the wheel” while the car was still running. When police showed up, they found Haddish and she was subsequently taken to jail without incident for suspicion of driving under the influence. No one was injured in the incident.
