Tiffany Haddish opens up
Tiffany Haddish has opened up about her horrific experience with police officers in America.
She recalled the time she was sexually assaulted by a police cadet when she was just 17.
The actress made the revelation during a chat on Hustling With Vivica A. Fox.
Tiffany didn't go into detail on the assault, but she did say she dated a lot of men in law enforcement after the incident.
She believes she did this in the hopes of getting, "revenge," but it didn't work.
Tiffany said, "I dated a police officer, a judge, a lawyer."

She went on, "I dated several different kinds of dudes, thinking, 'Oh if I date them, they'll love me and they'll try to help me with my crusade of getting justice for my family and for myself.'"
Tiffany said that, "nobody really helped [her]," and she was left feeling like she had just, "lost this little bit of [her] soul."

The actress later learned that, "revenge is not really where it's at."
Tiffany believes, "Really the true revenge is in your success."
"I don't know why I thought these police would do something to this other police officer because he took advantage of me."

"Like I wasn't even taken advantage of, that motherf**ker just took me," she said.
Tiffany described the assault as, "traumatising," and admitted it, "really messed [her] up for a long time."
But thanks to therapy, she's much better today.
