Tiffany Haddish is looking back at some of the job opportunities she has received during her successful career in the entertainment industry, including some brand endorsements she has been forced to decline.
The Hollywood star admits that she is not accepting every offer that people present to her, as she wants to show her fans and followers that she is only involved in things that resonate with her and her values.
“At first with acting roles, I used to just be like, what seems like fun,“ she explained. ”Now it’s, what seems like fun, and what resonates with my soul? Then I ask who else is working on it? Will it be my friends?“
The actress says that she also has a different approach when it comes to casting, in comparison to when she first started working in the business, as she wants to be taken seriously.

Tiffany says that she even “turned down $10 million just to do a post because it didn’t represent my brand. She explained that she decided not to take the money “because my soul is worth more than that to me.“
“My spirit, my integrity, how I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day...I’d rather be flat broke than get money to do something that makes me feel like s—,” she said.
