Though she reported the incident nothing came of it.

The Last OG actress said she eventually 'ended up going to counseling' to help her recovery.

Still, Tiffany had trouble figuring out how to make peace with the situation.

'Me just yelling out people's names with no thought behind it is pointless. I need a plan,' she said, explaining how the experience pushed her to work on behalf of others.

I could be a voice, but what's a voice going to do—just keep talking? Or is there action behind it?

She said her past shaped the way she reacts to men to this day.

Her forward approach to men is actually a defense mechanism. Haddish revealed:

You hear about, "Tiffany always hitting on somebody," but that's to keep them from hitting on me. 

I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive.
