I received the following email last night about Katt Williams, who was in Atlanta a few weeks back on the set of Scary Movie 5.

I don’t know if you know it but Katt Williams was in Atlanta filming Scary Movie 5 before he got in all that trouble on the West Coast.

Look at this picture of him on the set! He is so cracked out it’s pityful. Af first I thought he was in makeup or something but he posed for pictures when he was arriving to the set.

I almost shed a tear when I saw the photo above. Katt is a shell of his former self, as further evidenced by his appearance in Seattle, where he tearfully announced his “retirement” (watch video) after a week of bizarre violent behavior.

While Williams’ “retirement” only lasted a few days, he’s clearly troubled and in need of a long hiatus.

That being said… peep this recent video of William’s on stage in Seattle where he beat an audience member with his microphone.

Yeah… you read right. 😯

VIDEO: Katt Williams Whips Audience Member With Microphone

Via TMZ:

WHEN WILL IT STOP??? Just days after bitch-slapping a Target employee last week, Katt Williams unleashed microphone fury on an unsuspecting audience member, knocking the man upside the head with his mouthpiece … HARD … and TMZ has video of the attack.

Katt was performing at the Paramount Theater in Seattle last Friday at the time — and judging from the video, Katt was upset because the victim was recording his show.

Katt subsequently addressed the audience saying, “It could happen to you. Record me and see what happens to you. Go home and get your raggedy pistol and bring it back. I already got mine.”

The victim — a man named Carlos Casto-Lino — has since filed a $250,000 lawsuit against Katt and the theater … claiming Katt gave him a concussion and left him with contusions on his head.

Calls to Katt’s camp weren’t returned — but based on his recent string of crazy behavior, we’re guessing he gives zero craps about anything.

Katt will be appearing in Scary Movie 5, which hit’s theatre’s April 12, 2013, so there may be a glimmer of hope for his suffering career. I don’t even know if Katt’s career can ever recover from all this… he’s waaaay out there right now.

Can Katt Williams ever be what he was?
