Haddish is grateful to be nominated for the second time but she didn’t like the way they want her to take the free with her own expenses.
“I was like, ‘The exposure is amazing but I think I have enough. I appreciate you guys asking,’” Haddish said. “And as much as I appreciate the honor of being nominated, that’s not okay.”
The comedian feels disrespected for how they treat her, she even figured out on how many others experienced the same humiliation.
“This is something that needs to be addressed,” Haddish said. “How many other people have they done that to? It’s like a guy asking you on a date but telling you that you have to pay for it.”
