Tiffany Haddish Faces Backlash for Comments on College Protests and Israel-Gaza Conflict

Comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish found herself in hot water after her controversial comments at the 2024 Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles. While many people have been vocal about the recent college protests across the U.S. against the government’s support of Israel in its conflict with Gaza, Haddish took a different stance.

“I don’t give a f**k about that shit. I never went to college, why would I care about college?” Haddish exclaimed on stage, sparking backlash from the audience. She continued to express her disinterest in the protests, stating, “There’s not genocide at the college. I give a f**k about what’s going on on the other side of the world.”

Haddish’s comments did not sit well with many online users, with some accusing her of being complicit in Hollywood’s system of abuse and calling for her to be canceled. Despite the backlash, Haddish later attempted to clarify her statements, suggesting that protesters should focus on more effective ways to make change, such as contacting legislators and becoming lobbyists.

While Haddish’s remarks may have stirred up controversy, they have also sparked a conversation about the most impactful ways to advocate for change. Whether her comments will have lasting repercussions on her career remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Haddish’s words have ignited a passionate debate among her fans and critics alike.
