  • Katt Williams Tearfully Announces Retirement + Plans To Sue Seattle For Ruining His Life…[PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Dec, 5 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Comedian Katt Williams has has one helluva week but after days filled with drama, it appears he’s thrown in the towel.

    [READ: Katt Williams 'Pimp Slaps' Target Employee (EXTENDED VIDEO) + Arrested in Seattle For Bar Fight... ]

    After the Monday night incident, Williams was unceremoniously kicked out of the Seattle hotel he was staying.

    A Seattle news photographer obtaining footage of Williams being ejected from the hotel, caught him at a vulnerable moment and obtained a rambling interview with the troubled comic.

    Katt spoke with the cameraman about his trouble with the law and went on to make a string of allegations against police and the media. He even made a bizarre statement about placing a cash offer of $301,000 for the Washington State Ferry Rhododendron as a place to stay with his family and staff until his court date.

    Williams says he’s also planning to sue the city of Seattle for $50 million dollars for ruining his life and “crippling” his reputation.

    Details below…

    Katt told the Seattle TV station KOMO photographer:

    “I’m kinda done.”If they will accept our bid… I will take me and my whole staff on that boat because I still have a court date four days from now and can’t leave and I’ve been kicked out of four hotels in two days and I’ve been arrested by three different sets of officers four different times detained by two sets of officers.

    I can stay there [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.

    Wearing a Kurt Cobain T-Shirt and Seattle Seahawks cap, Katt explained that he usually comes to Seattle to just get away.

    “This was a place I like to bring my kids and let them do stuff without people caring who they were,” he said.

    “I got arrested in front my kids three times in my three days stay in Seattle… And all we were doing was coming into town to sell jokes and police department painted me as some sort of public menace that came to town.

    Then Katt tearfully explained how the controversial incidents have led him to end his stand-up career.

    VIDEO: Katt Williams Announces Retirement

    I’m just going to go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up.

    I’ve already discussed it with my kids,” Williams said. “I wasn’t really going to do it on a Seattle street. I was going to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or LiveNation.

    (ICM is a talent agency, and LiveNation is a concert promotion company).

    Williams told the station he would remain in Seattle until his Thursday court date on the criminal charges and he plans to file a lawsuit against the city “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.”

    I just hope Katt gets the help he needs, whether it’s in jail or out….

    What do you think about Williams’ plans to sue Seattle?

    Does he have a case?

      First of all, that pic of Eddie and Arsenio? Classic.
      Secondly, the race card? Really? It has little to do with your skin color and EVERYTHING to do with your conduct. The man have issues, clearly. Maybe mental illness triggered by drug use? The man has always been a talented comedian to me, and I hope he gets the help he needs, for his sake and his family’s. A lot of people depend on him.

      1. He is a rare man who truly looks MUCH better and younger WITH facial hair.

      2. I have been thinking this for a while, but this pretty much confirms what I thought- I believe that he genuinely has some type of undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

      He’s truly a funny guy…..funnier than some of the other comedians who are doing better financially than he is. We definitely need to pray for him.

He just tried to fight somebody in the audience not long ago at one of his shows and walked off the stage. I’m disappointed cause I think he is one of the funniest dudes right now!! He can pull through if he channel his inner tink-tink!

      I am not one to judge anyone, especially when it has to do with addiction. I wish Katt well and hope he stays away from the press and media while recovering. The more he talks, the more he hurts his case, $301,000 to live on a boat until Thursay..where did the one come from. Retiring from his standup career when it died years ago. All that makes him sound delusional. Sending him many prayers and blessings.

      It’s ironic that he was once talking about how he was offended at the Flavor Flave roast because of how cruel he felt folks were to Flav and in these pics, that’s who he looks like. Hollyweird has gotten a hold of him (no telling what celebs have to do to get fame and "fortune")and now he’s strung out. The sad part is his children have to experience this mess and his drug problem with him.

      Any man who cries during a retirement speech does NOT want to do it. *Clearly, because he just UN-Retired today.* I hope Katt can get away, before it’s too late.
