“I’m gonna go see for myself, I’m gonna go see, I’m gonna go see all of it, I’m gonna ask questions and see with my own eyes.”

Tiffany Haddish claims to not trust social media

The ‘Girl Trip’ star expressed her distrust in social media, stating, “I know a lot of stuff on social media be [sic] not true because ... I see stuff people say about me, and I live my life - I'm living my life and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I said, that’s not true.’”

“I’m gonna go see and then I’m gonna tell y’all what I think, I’m gonna go see with my own eyes,” she asserted.

The 44-year-old star also mentioned, “I know a lot of people that have gone; so many people have gone and then come back alive, come back fine. So I want to go see - I want to go see, and we gonna see what it is and I’ll show y’all some of it while I’m there.”

Haddish added, “I’m gonna go talk to people, I’m gonna go find out why is this happening. Why is this going down?”

‘This proud display of ignorance is simply vile!’

However, the decision of the 'Haunted Mansion' actress did not impress people, as one user commented below the post, “Really Tiff?! wow, honestly there is so much I could say but damn this is heartbreaking, you are not a safe space and your instincts are inherently flawed and dangerous.”

Another user wrote, “The fact you can fly and ‘holiday’ in Israel but Gaza is pretty much destroyed gives you all the information you really need. This isn’t a war, it’s genocide.”

“This proud display of ignorance is simply vile!! Talking bout, you can’t believe everything you see on the internet??!! No, you’re choosing to stick your head in the sand bc the genocide has been documented for all to see. Freeee Freeee [sic] Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸,” a user shared.

One internet user stated, “Unfollowing you, you should be on your way to Gaza to see what’s going on; this entire skit is comedic wtf.”

A comment read, “Please stay there and don’t come back.”

“Go see with your own eyes? What are looking to see exactly? Hope you have some conversations with the Palestinians and SEE what truly lies on the other side,” another one added.
