A few months age, Tiffany Haddish posted a photo of herself wearing a fur vest on Instagram, happily explaining “I’m going to wear fur every day until the police stop killing black >people. So sorry PETA, don’t be mad at me – be mad at the police!” Kareem Abdul Jabbar questioned the connection between wearing fur and stopping police brutality against people of color in The Hollywood Reporter. He pointed out ”Those committing brutality against other humans aren’t going to be concerned about brutality against animals. And how does needlessly harming an animal for no other reason than to gild one’s ego improve humanity? Jabbar finds Tiffany “charming and talented” but he felt her form of free speech might make the public take the issue of police brutality less seriously. And he doesn’t like the idea of wearing fur, either…

A disgrace of a woman
Nice try Tiffany.
Jabbar’s response is BRILLIANT.
We still don’t know quite what to make of Tiffany, but we’re looking forward to seeing her new movie, costarring Melissa McCarthy–our new favorite talent.
Whatever Tiffany’s missteps may have been, she is clearly being positioned for a big career.
it feels like snuggling a goldfish?
