Tiffany Haddish, 43, is seen for the FIRST TIME since her DUI arrest as she leaves the Laugh Factory in Long Beach… after she fell asleep at the wheel in the middle of the street

Tiffany Haddish was seen for the first time since she was reportedly arrested for a DUI as she left the Laugh Factory in Long Beach on Friday night.

The comedian, 43, notably was placed in handcuffs in the early hours of Friday morning in Beverly Hills after performing a set at Laugh Factory’s West Hollywood location on Thanksgiving.

According to TMZ, police found Tiffany allegedly asleep behind the wheel while parked in the middle of Beverly Drive.

However, the star appeared to brush aside the incident as she stepped onto the stage for another set in Long Beach.

Haddish was seen donning an eye-catching red satin ensemble, and upon leaving the venue, she sat in the back seat of a vehicle alongside the producer Jeff Beacher.

Her makeup was glammed up for the nighttime excursion and the Girls Trip actress added a pair of silver, dangly earrings for a flashy flare to the look. 

Just hours before her visit to Long Beach, Tiffany was arrested after a very suspicious circumstance on Friday morning, according to TMZ. 

Police found the Hollywood comedienne asleep behind the wheel of her car when it was still running.

The vehicle was located in the middle of the busy street Beverly Drive, which is filled with stores like Pottery Barn and Sephora.

The call came from a concerned citizen at about 5:45am who was worried about the actress sleeping in her car in the early morning hours. Haddish was reportedly ‘slumped over the wheel while the car was running,’ the site claimed.

This is a second DUI arrest for the star who was found sleeping in her car in Georgia in January 2022.

DailyMail.com did not immediately hear back from Tiffany’s reps to comment on the situation.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the actress could be seen in a pink floral print sleeveless top with dark slacks and her hair worn very short. Her hands were behind her back and cuffed as she was escorted to a patrol car.

Accompanied: The actress was joined by Jeff Beacher who also sat in the backseat with the star and opted for an all-black ensemble 

The site said her arrest was ‘peaceful’ with no resistance.

Before she fell asleep at the wheel of her car, Tiffany was trying to make people laugh.

She had performed a stand-up set at The Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood for the club’s 43rd annual free Thanksgiving feast for the community.

This is not the first time she has been arrested for falling asleep behind the wheel of a car.

In January 2022 she was arrested under a similar circumstance for a DUI in Peachtree City, Georgia. The Night School actress was found ‘dozing in the driver’s seat’ of her car, according to TMZ. 

The star had been in Georgia to shoot the film Haunted Mansion with co-stars Owen Wilson and Rosario Dawson for Walt Disney Productions. 

Officers told the site they believed that she had been smoking marijuana. Police approached the star’s vehicle after a concerned citizen had called about a woman sleeping in her car. 

After officers woke her up, she was arrested for suspicion of a DUI as well as stopping on a roadway in a manner that was not safe for traffic.

Apparently Tiffany – who split from musician Common in November 2021 – had not properly pulled off the road for her nap.

Haddish was taken to police headquarters and was in custody for ‘a few hours,’ according to the site. She seemed to be in custody from 4 am to 6:30 am. 

A few weeks after the arrest, she commented on the incident during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.

Previous arrest: In January 2022 she was arrested under a similar circumstance for a DUI in Peachtree City, Georgia; seen in October in Los Angeles

Opening up: A few weeks after the arrest, she commented on the incident during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon; seen earlier this month in Arizona 

‘I can say this, Jimmy. I’ve been praying to God to send me a new man. A good man. And God went ahead and sent me four…in uniform,’ she humorously recalled to the talk show host. 

The star added, ‘And now I got a really great lawyer, and we’re going to work it out. I’ve got to get my asking of things to God a little better!’ 

And in April 2022, she also briefly talked about the DUI arrest and made a similar quip about how she had been praying for a good man to come along, and instead was given four police officers. 

‘They got good benefits and everything so I can’t even be mad. And yes I did get charged with a DUI, which stand for Dumb Unfortunate Incident,’ she jokingly expressed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
