In the wake of child abuse accusations against Aries Spears and Tiffany Haddish went public, the former had yet to address the matters like Haddish did in a statement earlier this week. Haddish wrote via Instagram:
“I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you. Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now, [...] But clearly, while this sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all – and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it.”
On Wednesday, Spears broke his silence regarding the matter and called it extortion. While largely reiterating a similar sentiment as Haddish, Aries said “Listen, this is an extortion case,” adding, “This is a shakedown.”
“We won’t be shaken down," he declared, referring to himself and Haddish.
