Tiffany Haddish reveals she had eight miscarriages and kept it private because she wanted to be by herself ‘in a cave like a wounded animal’

Tiffany Haddish revealed the heartbreaking news that she had experienced eight miscarriages in a new interview with the Washington Post.

The Girls Trip star, 43, also explained why she kept the news private, saying that she didn’t ‘want people saying.’

She did not want to be asked, ”Are you okay? Are you alright? Like a wounded animal, I just rather go in a cave by myself. Lick my wounds.’

The Haunted Mansion actress  – who said her breakup with rapper Common was not mutual – recently experienced her eighth miscarriage and remembers telling a nurse: ‘Well I’m going to be honest with you, this would be my eighth [miscarriage].

‘I’ve got a uterus shaped like a heart,’ she explained. ‘It just won’t keep anything in.’

Earlier this year, she thought she might adopt a baby and took parenting classes in preparation for that, but now she is unsure if she wants to be a mother. 

Haddish had a difficult childhood growing up in South Central Los Angeles. Her dad left when she was three. 

When she was eight, her mom was in a car accident which left her brain damaged, after which she became physically and emotionally abusive.

By the time she was 13, she and her sibling were placed in foster care. 

As she was trying to make it in Hollywood, she lived in her car – a red 1995 Geo Metro.

Her career success came late with a breakthrough role in 2017’s Girl’s Trip. She was 37-years-old. 

Late in life success leaves the actress feeling like she has to make up for lost time and take every role that comes her way. 

She’s starring in the biggest movie of her career- the upcoming Disney film Haunted House – in which she plays a medium named Harriet.

And on top of all of that, she’s raising $25 million to build a healthy food market in a commercial complex in Los Angeles’ Crenshaw neighborhood.

‘I’ve always dreamed of being in a Disney movie, and this is the biggest movie I’ve ever been in,’ Haddish said, referring to the $160 million Haunted Mansion. 

‘But it’s not as important as the grocery store. I don’t know if movies change people’s lives.’
