After a judge ruled against her attempt to keep her defamation lawsuit against her former friend, Tiffany Haddish from being heard in arbitration, Trizah Morris responded to the ruling by saying she is looking forward to “exposing how evil and desperate for fame Tiffany really is.”
According to Radar Online, Morris stated she didn’t understand the protocols of arbitration but now that she knows about the process, she is anxious to prove her case against Haddish. She gave a statement to the media outlet after the comedian won the battle to have the case tried in private arbitration as opposed to an open courtroom.
“I wasn’t concerned about the case being out of the public eye because I am not personally interested in any exposure,” Morris stated. “I was more concerned about the arbitration because I didn’t understand the process. Now that I know how it works, I look forward to presenting concrete evidence of how my daughter and I were bullied into signing the agreement and how she lied about being extorted. I plan on exposing how evil and desperate for fame Tiffany really is.”
Recently, “The Last O.G.” actress requested that Morris’ lawsuit be heard in arbitration since her former friend signed a non-disclosure agreement, and the judge agreed with the comedian and granted her the request. This was due to Morris agreeing to do so if there were any disputes. But, Morris claimed that she signed that agreement under duress after Haddish and her team bullied her into doing so.
After Morris’ adult children settled a sexual abuse lawsuit against Haddish and fellow comedian Aries Spears in September 2022, Morris claimed the two comedians defamed her publicly by saying that she was trying to extort the two of them. Earlier this year, in February, Morris stated she got in contact with the attorneys of both comedians, requesting they release a statement clearing her from the extortion claims. That did not happen.
In her suit, Morris says she suffered personally, academically, professionally, and financially due to the comedian defaming her. She also claims that she has suffered anxiety and mental anguish over the damage done to her reputation.
