Tiffany Haddish Reveals She Wasn't Paid for Her First Movie & was Homeless at the Time
Tiffany Haddish made a surprising revelation about the very first movie that she starred in – she wasn’t paid for it.

“My very first movie I ever did that I was the star in, I was homeless while I was shooting that movie,” she revealed. “They were supposed to pay me $1,200 to do the movie.”
She continued, saying, “They never paid me. They never paid me a dime. The producers gave me 10 DVDs and said, ‘Sell those. Good luck.’ I never saw the movie.” Tiffany explained that since it was a non-union project there wasn’t much she could do.
After the success of Girls Trip, the movie made a comeback and was airing on networks and streaming platforms. “It’s everywhere that movie! I don’t get a dime. It’s the second worst movie I was ever in. Not a penny,” she said.
While she didn’t name the project, the first movie credit on her IMDb profile is a 2005 project called The Urban Demographic.
If you missed it, Tiffany recently revealed that she bought a wedding dress but wasn’t using it to walk down the aisle.
