Haddish faced intense internet bullying, which worsened after the since-dropped 2022 legal complaint.
Haddish began by blocking key terms on Instagram to avoid the hatred. When death threats continued, she hired a digital forensics analyst to research where they were coming from and discovered that three quarters of the messages were from bots in Malaysia and Iran.
Haddish has also created a fake Instagram alias under the name Sarah, who she uses to collect the personal information of her non-robot online bullies.
“I’ve learned how to find people’s information - like I pull up the credit report, police records. You can do that for $1.99. Sometimes, I get so mad that I’ll get they phone number and I’ll just call them. They’ll be like, ‘I can’t believe you even saw that.’ You did a whole video, bitch! You made a full, five-minute video! On the internet, people think they can just say whatever and you not gonna say anything. I try my best not to, but I’m a human being.”
