  • Katt Williams Arrested, Once Again

    Comedian Katt Williams is building up a criminal record almost as impressive–and odd–as Lindsay Lohan’s.

    Williams was arrested on Sunday night after an incident at a Seattle bar turned ugly. Witnesses say he threatened the bar owner with a pool cue, threw a lit cigarette into a woman’s face through a car window, and threw rocks at a car, among other things. He was taken into custody after police were called and was released early this morning.

    This is the third arrest for the comedian in three months; he is also accused of hitting a man over the head with a bottle after one of his shows and has had a string of strange run-ins with police, including the time he pulled a gun on Faizon Love and allegedly beat up his female assistant, who is now suing him. He’s also involved in a lawsuit filed by his fans, who say a show he put on in Oakland, California in November only lasted a few minutes and dissolved into a fight between the performer and a heckler. Lastly, another altercation this past Friday involved three fans who Williams claims forced their way into his dressing room to demand an autograph.

    Katt Williams Sued For Crappy Show

    Comedian Katt Williams is finding himself on the wrong side of the law quite a bit lately, and the latest news is that his recent performance in Oakland, California, was so bad the audience is taking him to court.

    Williams’ odd behavior began back in October, when police were called to his house over a violent dispute with his female assistant, Melissa Ishage. Ishage claims Williams flew into a rage and began punching her, causing her injury. She is currently engaged in a lawsuit with him for $5 million; Williams was reportedly not arrested at the time.

    He was, however, arrested for smashing a bottle over someone’s head at a club earlier this month; it was his second arrest in as many months.

    Then came the weird performance. The show–on November 16th–lasted just ten minutes before Williams jumped off the stage, got into an argument with an audience member, and began taking his clothes off before attempting to engage in a fight with several others. Those in attendance have filed a class-action lawsuit against him and are seeking an unspecified amount in damages, citing a “non performance”.

    Williams has declined to comment on the incident or on the arrests.
