Aries Spears has personally denied the child sexual abuse allegations leveled against him and fellow comic Tiffany Haddish.
During Wednesday's episode of his podcast with Andy Steinberg, the comedian dismissed the child sexual abuse lawsuit against him as an "extortion case" and a "shakedown." Last week, a woman filed a pro-se complaint accusing Spears and Haddish of grooming and molesting her (referred to as Jane Doe in the complaint) and her brother (John Doe) when they were 14 and 7, respectively.
"Obviously, for legal reasons ... I really can't talk about anything at this time," Spears said. "To all the loyal listeners, all my fans, very few friends that I have ... thank you guys for your support and your love. I will certainly remember you and make sure you all get invited to the all-white yacht party with the bevy of b— that I keep talking about. ... We won't be shaken down."
