Tiffany Haddish Speaks On Battle Endometriosis
On Thursday, April 25, PEOPLE published an exclusive interview with Haddish. During the conversation, the comedian got candid about her personal health and “suffering from endometriosis.” To note, Mayo Clinic reports that the condition occurs when “tissue that is similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.”
Additionally, the outlet notes that the condition is “often painful.”
“I’m pretty sure the devil is real,” Haddish told the outlet. “Because the first day of my period, no matter what, the devil goes into overdrive. I feel like my life gets turned upside down… [I] be like, ‘Am I dying?'”
Furthermore, Haddish explained that in November 2023, she went to the doctor because she was constantly fainting.
“She gave me something because I kept passing out. I don’t talk about it, but people just think I’m sleep everywhere, but I’m passing out because I’ll be in so much pain,” the comedian explained.
The Comedian Opens Up About Her 8 Miscarriages
The 44-year-old explained that her battle with the condition has become so severe that she’s had to undergo extensive surgery. Haddish said that the pain feels like someone is “kicking” her in her back. Additionally, she shared that she recently learned that “extra layers” of endo were “hanging down” from her uterus.
“They’ve shaved it down, I had to do a fibroid [removal] thing,” Haddish explained. “I just want them to stay out of [there].”
However, despite the extensive surgery, the comedian says the side effects of miscarriages have been the most “devastating.” Additionally, she revealed she most recently experienced one last year.
“It’s so f*****g devastating,” Haddish shared. “Every time I find out I’m pregnant, I’m like, ‘Don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do nothing. Even if I don’t really want [the baby], I still try to give it a chance.”
Tiffany Haddish Recently Revealed THESE Personal Milestones
As The Shade Room previously reported, Haddish also revealed to PEOPLE that she is now six months sober and celibate.
“I’m very sober,” she explained. “…When I sit back and look at my life, everything that’s crazy that’s happened is because somebody or myself had alcohol in their system.
Haddish explained that previously, when she was under the influence, she would be more prone to sexual behavior.
“With alcohol [my mind] would just be like, ‘You’re horny, let’s just do it.’ [Now] I be like ‘nah, nope.'”
In HER interview with PEOPLE, published on April 25, Haddish explained that she’s now dating “multiple guys.” Additionally, she shared that there’s “a part” of her that still wants to become a mother.
“I’ve got all this love, I should give it to somebody who can grow with it,” she said.
