Class in progress
She schooled the reporter on the gown, as it was Dolce and Gabbana custom made and it was an evening gown.
The bubbly actress further added that no one is paying for the gown except her and that it was her life, not an acting gig.
The reporter salvaged herself by saying:
"This is the time of death for me."
To which Haddish clapped back with her success, money and fame as she noted they looked like her and what she was wearing that night.
Fans react

@pixel'sworld
"This moment is definitely going down in history ain't nobody forgetting this."
@amandavify
"This reporter deserves some respect for sure."
@nt
"She is a very good and professional interviewer. She rolled with all the twist and turn responses that Tiffany Haddish threw her way."
@momodanshi
"It seems like I'm the only one that understood that the interviewer was just pointing out that she had changed into a different outfit, not calling it a costume not everything is literal."
