Comedians Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears have been accused of "manipulating and molesting" two minors (brother and sister) in a comedy sketch.
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and states that the minors, 7 and 14 years old, respectively, participated in the video with sexual content.
The boy claims that in 2014, Haddish offered to host a skit at Spears' home. She said the footage would be used to pitch the boy to the Nickelodeon giant.
The video is titled "Through the eyes of a pedophile" and shows the child in underwear and Spears being turned on by the 7-year-old and rubbing his back. Haddish plays the minor's mother.
Meanwhile, Tiffany Hadish made a statement on her Instagram account, writing: "I know people have a lot of questions. I understand," referring to her situation. She emphasized that at the moment, she cannot share much information, as the case is in process.

Haddish wrote that "this skit was meant to be funny, it wasn't funny at all, and I'm so sorry I agreed to be in it."
While there is still no reaction from Spears, apart from that of the lawyer, who said that "He will not fall prey to something like this".
