Troubled comedian Katt Williams is like that drunk uncle who we think is hilariously funny when he’s tipsy. But he’s not so funny when he’s sober. So we overlook all the crazy things he does because he makes us laugh.
Sadly, Williams has more problems to deal with than just an occasional tumble off the wagon. He has mental problems too — and we can no longer overlook that. His mental problems means he is unreliable when recalling his actions and behavior. So any videos you see of him explaining himself can’t be trusted.
Last night, a friend of mine (one of my sponsors) who lives at the posh Four Seasons hotel and luxury residence on 14th Street in midtown called me to say Williams had just been kicked out of the hotel.
The hotel threw Williams out because he was loud and belligerent and caused a scene in the lobby.
But Williams told the AJC a different story.
According to sources close to Williams, he has bipolar disorder and he must have been having grandiose delusions when he told the AJC that he purchased a penthouse at the Four Seasons and also rented seven rooms for seven nights — all lies, according to the hotel management which had no record of him staying there.
All of this comes just days after Williams posted $41,000 bond to get out of the Coweta County jail after his much-publicized arrest for burglarizing a friend’s house.
We all thought Williams was funny onstage (in a weird sort of way), but now we know that he was really crazy all this time.
