Tiffany's sister, Jasmine English, placed 7th in the TV showClaim to Fame,being voted out on August 15, 2022.[citation needed]

In 1988, while her family was living inColton, California,[14]Haddish's mother Leola suffered severebrain damagein a car accident. It was believed to have caused Leola'sschizophrenia;Haddish said her mother became quick-tempered, abusive and violent.[15]Haddish, then nine years old and the oldest of five siblings, became the family's primary caregiver.[15]It was around this time that Haddish became interested in humor. She said, "If I could make [Leola] laugh and turn her anger into some joy, I was less likely to get beat. Same thing in school: If I could make the kids laugh, they'd help me with my homework and protect me from other bullies."[16]

According to Haddish, herstepfatherlater told her he had tampered with the brakes on her mother's car, intending the wreck to kill Haddish, her siblings, and her mother so he could collect on their life insurance policies. However, the children chose to stay home that day, and the accident was not fatal for her mother.[17][15]

When Haddish was 13, she and her siblings were put intofoster careand temporarily separated from one another.

In 2018, Haddish stated that she had been raped at age 17 by a police cadet, which she says led to her aggressiveness in avoiding unwanted advances from men.[19][20]After graduating from high school, Haddish was homeless, living in her car for a period of time.[21][22]

In 1997, after her social worker gave her an ultimatum to attend either psychiatric therapy or theLaugh FactoryComedy Camp, the 17-year-old Haddish opted for comedy as an outlet for her pain.[14][23]She says that the mentorship from many notable comedians—includingRichard Pryor,Dane Cook,Charles Fleischerand theWayans brothers—helped her discover a passion for comedy that "literally saved her life."[24][14]She incorporates her life experiences in her sets, finding that it functions as a "safe space"for her.[14]
