Aries Spears has also made his first statement since being sued for molestation.
Spears made his comments in an Instagram promo for his podcast. “Obviously for legal reasons I really can’t talk about anything at this time.
He then characterized the lawsuit as “extortion” and “a shakedown case.”
Tiffany Haddish has broken her silence on the lawsuit brought against her and Aries Spears.
The suit, obtained by People, alleges that Haddish “groomed” underage Jane and John Doe and that Spears molested John Doe on-camera.
Haddish was present for the filming of a sketch called “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes,” and per the lawsuit, she “aided, abetted and watched Spears sexually molest a child.”
On Instagram, Haddish said she couldn’t speak fully on the impending court case but regrets the sketch now.
While this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all,” she wrote, “and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it.”
