Tiffany Haddish turned down a demoralizing role in Chris Rock's Top Five
The Hollywood Reporter recently put together a roundtable with women who star in comedy shows, specifically Jane Levy, Jameela Jamil, Elle Fanning, Robin Thede, Amy Sedaris, and Tiffany Haddish, with the chat touching on various subjects like how they feel about where their careers are, how they think they’re perceived by Hollywood, and whether or not they feel like things are starting to change regarding the kinds of roles that women are offered in comedies. To that last point, the answer seems to mostly be a disappointing “not so much,” with Jamil saying that she received a script for an unnamed project written by a “very, very famous actor” in which she would’ve played a police officer who has to go undercover as a “hypersexualized bimbo” with a line that Jamil initially said was “too filthy” to actually say out loud. (It was “I want you to cover me in your man milk,” and if anyone wants to anonymously tells us which famous person wrote those words, we’d like to know.)
