Update June15, 2019: Comedian and movie star Tiffany Haddish has canceled her planned performance at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta over the state’s “heartbeat” bill.
The actress sent a statement to ticketholders saying that “After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta. I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there.”
The controversial heartbeat bill will go into effect January 1, 2020 unless lawmakers reverse course. Critics fear the state’s film industry will be gutted if the bill becomes law.
