Comedian Katt Williams arrested multiple times in Seattle says he's retiring

Comedian Katt Williams stands in front the Courtyard Marriott in Seattle on Monday, December 3, 2012 after the comedian was kicked out of the hotel. Williams has had a troubled visit to Seattle. He was a no-show for his Thursday performance at the Paramount and was arrested on Sunday for a fight. He was also contacted by police after an apparent fight after his Friday show. (seattlepi.com)

Comedian Micah “Katt” Williams was kicked out of a Seattle hotel Monday night in an incident involving a police presence, a day after he was arrested in connection to a bar fight in South Lake Union.
As officers left the scene Monday, Williams stood outside the Courtyard Marriott near Lake Union and told seattlepi.com that he had been ordered to leave the hotel. He wasn’t arrested in the incident.
He also told seattlepi.com in a rambling interview that his tour was canceled.

As he stood calmly near his luggage, Williams didn’t say why he was ejected, but showed off some bloody knuckles and said his knee was “busted up.” He said it was the fourth Seattle hotel that had kicked him out in recent days.

He told a KOMO News photographer he was going to offer $301,000 in cash for the Washington State Ferry Rhododendron as a place to stay.
“I can stay (on the ferry), and my family can be there, and my dogs can be there, and my whole staff can be there, until we get done suing Seattle for this $50 million that I want for crippling my reputation as a father, and a black man, and as a taxpaying citizen, and as a person who is not a convicted felon,” he said.

A Los Angeles-based comedian recently parodied on “Saturday Night Live,” Williams was in Seattle for a trio of performances at the Paramount over the weekend.

But on Sunday, Seattle police said Williams argued with customers at the World Sports Grille in South Lake Union, where he reportedly brandished a pool cue and refused to leave.
“At one point during the altercation, Williams followed a family outside of the bar where, as the family got into their car, Williams flicked a cigarette through a car window at a woman, striking her just below her eye,” said police spokesman Jonah Spagenthal-Lee.

“Williams also threw a rock at the family’s car.”
After Williams was arrested for investigation of harassment, assault and obstructing police, producer Suge Knight bailed him out, TMZ.com reported.
A message for a manager at the Courtyard Marriot was not returned Monday night.

Williams, who’s 41 or 39, depending on if you believe police or his bio, is known for his role as Money Mike in “Friday After Next.” He’s been performing since 1990 and has worked with Lil Jon, Ludacris, Outkast, Oprah Winfrey and E-40.

He’s also known for confronting hecklers. Last month in Oakland, his own security staff moved him off a stage, a day after he was arrested for investigation in the assault of an 18-year-old.

While standing outside the hotel Monday night in a light drizzle, wearing a Kurt Cobain T-shirt, Williams said that he had millions in the bank and was retiring. “I’m kinda done,” he said.

Dude's got some severe issues.

Last week he slapped a Target store employee after being chased by the CHP.

Just saw his local news interview on the street in front of the hotel.
He had a tear in his eye as he announced to the reporter that he's retiring.

Watched one of his stand up routines on HBO a while back.
Thought he had some good material.

He seems to have gone off the deep end recently.

Never heard of 'em. Sounds like he's flipped out on dope like Martin Lawrence was a few years ago.

He's been in quite a few movies.
The first one that comes to mind is "Friday after next".

2 of his stand-up routines will be on the Comedy Channel this week.
Thurs & Friday - 11pm

I always thought he was pretty funny. Guess he and Dave Chappelle can hang out together.

[kylebuck]

IMHO this is his best standup

KATT WILLIAMS: Every Day I'm Hustlin' - YouTube

[MEANZ06]

He was here in oakland maybe two weeks ago and was arrested for hitting someone over the head with a bottle...

His skit on Michael Jackson (search Y/T, NSFW) had my side aching from laughing!!

News update:
He was kicked out of the Courtyard Marriott in Seattle after
guests complained that there was heavy Marijuana smoke coming
from his room.

Just because it'll be legal in 2 more days, doesn't mean you can be
tokin' in a non-smokin' room.

Kicked out of four hotels in a matter of days?

He's the common link in all of this. End of story.

Looks like another case of inflated ego and entitlement due to his
success.

Wants to sue for 50mm because his "reputation has been crippled"
and it wasn't caused any of his actions.
Then why "retire"?

I have heard some of his bits before and didn't find him all that funny. He really really likes to swear. I don't find it offensive but don't find it funny either.

[DJ_Critterus]

[NEED-A-VETTE]

I like his act. Funny guy. Unfortunately, it seems like he's on the cusp of a severe break down.
