Katt Williams dished on his own experiences with predatory behavior in the entertainment industry.
Among the many revelations unearthed in his “Club Shay Shay” interview with host Shannon Sharpe, Williams shared that disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein made a pass at him in front of several witnesses.
“They canceled me for talking about Harvey Weinstein before the thing came out. But he offered to suck my penis in front of all my people at my agency,” Williams shared. He also suggested that the other Black actors in the script presented by Weinstein may have had to do sexual favors.
“He did all of that, I’m thinking I’m the only Black person on the script—I get there, it’s three other Black guys on there. Whew—huh? I told him no, what y’all do?” Williams questioned.
The comedian shared that after speaking out about Weinstein, he faced several challenges, such as a lack of funding, explaining, “They pay you to not talk about things they don’t want you to talk about.”
Throughout the interview, Williams frequently spoke about how he refused to sacrifice his integrity to get ahead. In one moment, he took a shot at Diddy, stating that hanging with the embattled mogul is probably not wise.
“I gotta protect my integrity and that virgin hole I was telling you about ’cause P. Diddy be wanting to party and you gotta tell him no,” Williams said, which seemingly left Sharpe at a lost for words.
