For years, fans have been petitioning for a sequel to Girls Trip, and last week, it was confirmed that Pt. 2 was happening. It's a bittersweet revelation for some fans as Tiffany Haddish's controversy still looms. The award-winning comedian and Aries Spears faced a child molestation lawsuit by two siblings who performed in a pedophile comedy skit with the pair. The backlash was heavy after the video resurfaced, and following the scandal, Haddish admitted she "lost everything." The lawsuit was later dropped, and her accusers released a statement saying they knew she didn't mean any harm.

"They say it every year, and I look forward to it," Haddish told a paparazzo of a potential Girls Trip 2. The pushy photographer continued to follow the actress down the street. He brought up Haddish's recent controversy and mentioned that some people want to see her replaced. When he asked for her response, she said, "I don't have an opinion."

Further, the actress more than welcomed any opportunity to reunite with her girls Trip co-stars. "I will do anything with those women," Haddish added. "I love those people. I love everybody that works on that. We had a blast. They wanna work with me? I wanna work with them."

Following the awkward exchange, the paparazzo told Haddish he wanted to see her in the sequel. She echoed his statement and said, "I would love to see that, too!" Before getting into her vehicle, she took a moment to speak about her critics. It's something that she's sensitive about, but it's time for her to put the past in the past.

"I can't be concerned with what people think," Haddish also stated. "I gotta be concerned about how I feel. When I look in the mirror, am I happy with what I see? Yes, ma'am. God made it, God did a good job, God knows the truth."
