They knew Haddish as a family friend through their mother, who, according to the document, found out about the alleged incidents after the fact and was \u201cdistraught, immensely sad, depressed, shocked, cold, numb, nauseous, and suicidal for trusting Haddish with her children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The Daily Beast first reported news of the suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">In a statement shared Friday with The Washington Post, Andrew Brettler, an attorney for Haddish, said the mother \u201chas been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms.  Haddish for several years.  \u2026Now, [she] has her adult daughter representing herself in this argument.
