Haddish performed at The Laugh Factory’s Thanksgiving dinner for those in need on Thursday night, according to multiple reports. She was also scheduled to perform at The Laugh Factory on Friday and Saturday nights.

TMZ was first to report the arrest.

She has been booked into the holding area of the Beverly Hills Police Department and was expected to be released Friday.

Haddish is best known for her role in the smash-hit "Girls Trip," but has a litany of film roles to her name, including "Night School," "Nobody's Fool" and this year's "Haunted Mansion."
