The American comedian and actress has addressed accusations in a lawsuit that she groomed and molested two children.
Tiffany Haddish has broken her silence after being accused of grooming and molesting a teenage girl and her brother.
Haddish, 42, along with comedian Aries Spears, 47, has been accused of grooming a 14-year-old girl and her seven-year-old brother to perform explicit skits in a new lawsuit.
The comedian has now responded to these allegations, and posted a statement to her Instagram account.

TMZ obtained court papers from the siblings, where they alleged that they were coerced into performing sexually explicit acts.
Haddish has now posted a statement to her Instagram account on Monday (5 September), where she said she was unable to elaborate on the on-going legal battle but admitted that she 'deeply' regretted appearing in the sketch alongside the siblings.
"I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I'm right there with you. Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there's very little that I can say right now", she said.

"But, clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn't funny at all - and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it."
She finished off by saying, "I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can."
The siblings are suing Haddish and Spears for damages, and claim they have both afraid of being watched or recorded some years later after the alleged incident.
