Kat Williams Sued For Assault Years Later And It’s Starting To Feel Like Déjà vu

Posted On : May 2, 2018

Comedian/actor, Katt Williams, has always possessed the ability to make us crack up from his jokes and with his latest recurring role on the hit TV series, “Atlanta,” he’s now proven to be an intense actor as well. The accolade that he probably would rather not have on his resume’, is the realization that throughout the years of his infamous career, the 5’5″ comedian has damn near racked up an arrest record that’s damn near as tall as he. That brings us to today. Williams is currently facing another legal issue, stemming from a case he caught years ago.

New Lawsuit Filed Against Katt

Remember Katt Williams’ salt shaker attack incident in 2016? At that time, he was arrested for allegedly hurling a glass salt shaker smack dab in the face of an Atlanta restaurant manager, as he was waiting to be seated. According to the manager, Kevin Oliveira, Katt became agitated and attacked him without provocation, after he’d told Katt to standby for an available seat within the crowded Spondivits restaurant, on April 27, 2016. Katt was arrested over that incident.

As a result of Williams allegedly violently attacking Oliveira with the salt shaker, Oliveira stated in court docs, that he had to be rushed, by ambulance, to a hospital to receive 10 stitches for the gash on his lips.

Now, two years later, the manager has just decided to slap Katt with a lawsuit. According to The Blast, Kevin Oliveira is suing for medical expenses and for not only lost wages of the past, but wages he plans on losing in the future, years after the reported fiasco…Laaawd.

This is bad news for Katt Williams, but the good news is that given his past legal troubles, lately he’s been pretty much staying on the straight and narrow, although 2016 was NOT a good year for him….
