In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE about her memoir I curse you with joy last month, Haddish said she had been sober since her arrest.
“I’m very sober,” she said. “I haven’t had a drink since [the incident]. When I sit down and look at my life, everything crazy that happened was because someone or I had alcohol in my system.”
