Comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish is at the center of a controversy during New York Fashion Week after she stormed the runway at the Monse show on September 7 following a challenge from Paris Hilton’s mother Kathy Hilton.

In the days following the stunt, Haddish was at the center of discussions on social media – particularly on TikTok – with some viewing her acceptance of Hilton’s dare as “court jester to the Hollywood elite,” while others said she should have been. kicked out for their behavior.

Haddish was sitting in the front row of the show next to the Hilton family when they were heard debating whether or not Haddish should stand up during a break between models. Fashionista and newcomer to “The Real Housewives of New York City,” Jenna Lyons, sat next to the group, filmed the stunt on her phone and laughed.

In a video of the moment posted by Paris and Kathy Hilton, mother and daughter can be seen convincing Haddish to stop the show. Paris captioned the post: “My mom @KathyHilton dared @TiffanyHaddish to walk the @MonseMaison runway. But as Tiff always says… ‘She’s ready!’ #NothingButTrouble #NYFW”

Just before he crashed onto the runway, Haddish asked, “Should I do it now?” To which Kathy Hilton replied, “Right now! Do it and wave! Yes, now! There’s nothing going on!”

The comedian was greeted with applause and laughter from the audience.

After the show, Monse’s creative directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia posted a video with Haddish on the fashion house’s Instagram to address the stunt. The video was captioned “Laura: So, Tiffany, what happened?”

According to People, Haddish said she cheered on all the models and noted that she realized it was something ‘not’ to do before Kathy told her to go on the runway and model her suit.

Haddish says she hopes to be invited back to a show, to which Kim jokingly said, “I don’t know what the next time will be.”
