With the Coachella music festival line-up finally here, comedian Tiffany Haddish has found herself in a loud and sticky situation herself with PETA after claiming she’s protesting police brutality by wearing fur everyday.
Haddish initially sparked PETA’s attention after releasing an Instagram video revealing her intent on donning fur daily until black people stop having their lives taken at the hands of law enforcement.
