Despite a star-studded cast, including Rosario Dawson — who is now bringing Ahsoka Tano to life in the Disney+ original series Ahsoka — Owen Wilson — soon to reprise his MCU role as Mobius in the upcoming season of the Disney+ original series Loki — LaKeith Stanfield, Dany DeVito, Chase Dillon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tiffany Haddish, Jared Leto, and Dan Levy, Disney’s 2023 movie adaptation of the iconic Disneyland ride, the Haunted Mansion, faced multiple obstacles that severely affected the summer blockbuster’s performance.
Comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish was reportedly served with legal papers by a process server after hosting a comedy event in Los Angeles, California. The development allows Haddish’s former friend, Trizah Morris, to advance her $1M lawsuit against the Disney star.
Morris, who had a close relationship with Haddish for nearly a decade, filed a defamation lawsuit against the actress and Aries Spears last month following a lengthy legal battle over charges of child sexual abuse.
Morris clarified that she had no relationship with Spears and mentioned that Haddish was like family to her children, who affectionately called her “Auntie Tiff.” However, per Radar, Morris’ initial lawsuit revolved around sexually inappropriate skits filmed by her children with Haddish and Spears when they were minors, including one where her minor daughter simulated oral sex and another involving a pedophile skit with her son.

Last year, Morris’ adult children dropped their lawsuit alleging child abuse. Morris’s daughter even expressed her family’s support for Tiffany Haddish, stating, “My family and I have known Tiffany Haddish for many years – and we now know that she would never harm me or my brother or help anyone else do anything that could harm us. We wish Tiffany the best and are glad that we can all put this behind us.”
However, following Haddish and Spears’ denial of wrongdoing and the stars deeming the lawsuit an extortion attempt, Morris is filing a new case with her adult daughter representing herself, demanding reparations for the defamatory statements that harmed her reputation.

Trizah Morris reportedly called Tiffany Haddish’s lawyer in February, asking her to release a statement clearing her from the extorsion claims. Haddish allegedly called her personally on March 7, 2023, telling her, “The media isn’t talking about it right now. I have four movies coming out this year and I am going to be doing a lot of press. If it comes up, I’ll be sure to mention it.”
However, Morris claims to have learned that Haddish spoke negatively about her in an interview during a press tour weeks later. Morris has demanded a 7-figure sum from the defendants due to her suffering. “The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action,” stated Haddish’s lawyer, referring to Morris and her daughter.
