The comedian isn't bothered by her Golden Globes snub.

Tiffany Haddish took to Twitter on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, to address her missing nomination, which her Girls Trip co-star Jada Pinkett Smith had previously accused of being racially motivated in a series of tweets.

"Thank all of y'all for your love and support, I don't know or care much about snubs because I'm not nasty like that!!" the 38-year-old actress wrote. "But I love my girl Jada and I love all of you! @jadapsmith @VanityFair #SHEREADY."

As Nicki Swift previously reported, Pinkett Smith initially took to Twitter after nominations for the awards show, which will be hosted in January by late night host Seth Meyers, were announced on Monday, Dec. 11. "I have so much to say on why @TiffanyHaddish was not nominated for a Globe...but I won't," she wrote, before slamming the Hollywood Foreign Press Association the following day.

"I'm not upset about @TiffanyHaddish or @GirlsTripMovie not getting a nom...I'm discouraged about the fact that the Hollywood Foreign Press/@goldenglobes wouldn't even WATCH the movie," she tweeted, adding, "Girls Trip was one of the most successful films this summer & Tiff was hands down the funniest person on screen in 2017."

As Entertainment Tonight noted, the HFPA did actually air a screening of Girls Trip on July 18. However, other notable snubs this year included The Big Sick, which received zero nominations, as well as Jordan Peele of Get Out and Greta Gerwig of Lady Bird, who are surprisingly not up for Best Director.

"Hollywood has systems in place that must learn to expand its concepts of race, gender equality and inclusion in regard to its perceptions of art across the board," Pinkett Smith went on, explaining, "The fact that the brilliance of @TheBigSickMovie went unnoticed and the fact that one of the most prolific films of the year, @GetOutMovie, is considered a comedy...illuminates the depths of the sunken place."

While we wait for the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards to air on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018, at 8 p.m. EST, read up on the craziest moments that happened during last year's show.
