Actress Tiffany Haddish said she will “get some help” after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The 43-year-old, who shot to fame for her role in 2017 comedy film Girls Trip, was detained on Friday after being found “slumped over the wheel of a car” while the engine was still running, police in LA said.

Haddish was released hours after her arrest.
