Tiffany Haddish is putting online trolls on notice.
In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Haddish says about the foster children she works with through her nonprofit, She Ready Foundation, “They said it hurts their feelings to see what people say about me.” The actress hired a digital forensics analyst to find out that 75% of the online death threats were created by bots in Malaysia and Iran.
But, Haddish went one step further and created a fake Instagram account to go after and “destroy” any online trolls. “I’ve learned how to find people’s information – like I pull up the credit report, police records. You can do that for $1.99,” she reveals. “Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get they phone number and I’ll just call them.”
Those who say the hateful things on social media are obviously shocked when they receive a phone call from the Girls Trip star. “They be shocked that I called. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that,'” Haddish says. “On the internet, people think they can just say whatever and you not gonna say anything. I try my best not to, but I’m a human being.”
