Comic Katt Williams Says Gun Pointed In His Face At Comedy Club

NORCROSS, GA — Comic Micah “Katt” Williams says he had a gun pointed in his face during a verbal altercation at the Atlanta Comedy Theater Saturday night, according to police.

According to a Gwinnett County Police officer who was working an off-duty security job at the Atlanta Comedy Theater, Wanda Smith (Sellers) and Katt Williams had a verbal altercation at the Atlanta Comedy Theater that stemmed from an interview that Wanda conducted with Katt previously in Atlanta.

Katt told the officer that Wanda’s husband, Lamorris Sellers, pulled a gun on him and pointed it in his face. Katt and his security guard fled to the Food Depot next door where the officer had his initial contact with them.

Lamorris told the officer Katt had a verbal altercation with Wanda and Katt said he wanted to fight.

According to Lamorris, he approached Katt and chased him into Food Depot where he left him and returned to the Atlanta Comedy Theater. Lamorris told police he did have a gun on him and said while he was chasing Katt, his gun fell from his waistband and he bent to retrieve it. He told police he never pointed it at anyone.

The officer viewed the video footage from the Food Depot surveillance cameras, which shows Lamorris chasing Katt into the store; however it does not show Lamorris with a gun in his hands.

The officer was told that the Atlanta Comedy Theater has surveillance cameras, but they could not be accessed at that time. Katt eventually told the officer that he did not want to prosecute. The officer stated that he would be attempting follow-up in this investigation. If the video surveillance shows any crimes, criminal charges could be obtained.
