- Tiffany Haddish says she dealt with sexual harassment in the comedy scene before she was famous.
- In one instance, she says she literally slapped a man's penis to stop him from harassing her.
- Her unorthodox method may not be for everyone, but Haddish says it worked for her.
- "He never brings it up, because he got his d--- slapped," she said.
Tiffany Haddish's stories are quickly becoming the stuff of Hollywood legend. Over the past few months, the comedian told her fans about witnessing someone bite Beyoncé, hitting on Leonardo DiCaprio, and getting ghosted by Drake.
In the latest episode of Jada Pinkett Smith's "Red Table Talk," Haddish shared a sobering story about getting harassed by male comedians when she was working her way up in the comedy clubs.
"There's definitely a lot of sexual harassment in comedy because comedians are perverts," she said. "I always handled it well though, I always, like, turned it around on them. What a man can't handle is an aggressive woman."
In one instance, according to Haddish, an unnamed comedian had offered to show her his car. She agreed to go — she says she was legitimately interested in seeing the car — but the guy had an ulterior motive.
"I look out the window, and when I look back, he's got his d--- out and he was like, 'Look, my d--- is hard, can you make it go down?' And I was like, 'Are you serious?'"
He said yes, and if she "helped" him, he could help her out with her comedy career, according to Haddish.
"I was so disgusted that he thought I'd get down like that, so I just looked him in his eyes and I slapped the s--- out of it," Haddish said. "I slapped it so hard."
The comedian was not happy.
"He was like, 'What the f--- is wrong with you?' and I said, 'You said you wanted it to go down, you didn't say how you wanted it to go down,'" she said, before leaving the car.
Pinkett Smith noted in response to the story that the man could have seriously hurt Haddish. "I would not suggest that any other woman do that," she said, pointing at the camera.
"He could've beat me up if he wanted to," Haddish agreed. "That's what I'm saying," Pinkett Smith responded.
Haddish was thankfully able to remove herself from the situation.
"Dudes will try to be sneaky about [sexual harassment]," Haddish said. "They won't do it in front of other dudes, and if they do it in front of other dudes, it's to make you feel inferior so you walk away."
Haddish said she still sees the comedian frequently.
"He's always like, 'Hey Tiff, proud of you, girl,'" she said. "But he never brings it up, because he got his d--- slapped."
