“You've got to understand that the whole situation with black people and fried chicken and then when you’re at a mainstream event, some people did feel uncomfortable. So, I’m just being real, some people were uncomfortable, and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t bring that up,” the comedian addressed the audience.

One fan wrote, “Tiffany Haddish really brought fried chicken to the Met Gala and at this point I just feel like she exaggerates black stereotypes for entertainment and it’s just not funny.” Another similarly commented, “Tiffany Haddish is an embarrassment. Handing out fried chicken at the Met Gala, a stereotypical disgrace.”
Jeannie, 40, slammed the naysayers and said, “That is such a stretch!” The Real cohost and Adrienne, 35, seemed to agree with one person who tweeted, “Tiffany Haddish might be annoying and/or unfunny to a lot of people (totally subjective). But if you’re talking about her and fried chicken ‘setting Black people back’, you care way too much about what white people think.”
