Celebrated comedian Katt Williams is making some bold allegations against several ex-employees. Earlier this month, Williams sat down with sports journalist Jemele Hill for his Jemele Hill Is Unbothered podcast.
During the conversation, Williams revealed his ex-employees allegedly embezzled millions of dollars from him, which he discovered through a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.
“In my search for who was the enemy that was causing all these things to repeatedly happen to me over and over again when they shouldn’t, we uncovered that it was actually my people that was involved,” Williams said. “We didn’t really know that until the Department of Justice started indicting these people for the embezzlement of $59 million from Katt Williams.”
Williams immediately took action and fired all those involved. As a result, he says many of them attempted to blackmail him. Although he couldn’t divulge too many details, Williams did admit he was nearly one of those indicted in his embezzlement case.
“They thought I had found some way to sequester the funds until they actually dug in and realized ‘why would I be money laundering my own money,’ Williams said. “It’s been a lot, and a lot of it you can’t really talk about. It’s ongoing.”
Williams has faced plenty of legal issues over the years. In 2016, he was facing jail time for allegedly punching a restaurant employee.
He was ultimately sentenced to three years probation after pleading no contest to the charges. He also paid a $390 fine to get out of a three-day jail stint.

Why did Katt have to go and spill the tea about the Hollywood booty mafia?
I hear you like to eat the booty of men.
If you don’t think he had that type of money your crazy dude was the one before Keven Hart selling out big Time tour’s and DVDs quit it
Say what you want about Katt but at least he had the common sense to call out MJ on all that bullshit with little boys sleeping in his bed and all the rest of that sick shit. Katt wasn’t like the rest of the sheep following the crowd, looking the other way and pretending he wasn’t no godamn pedophile.
DUMB and DUMBER! #1 Kat has NEVER MADE anywhere near $59,000,000.00 profit after taxes; #2 WHO doesn’t know approximately what they have in the Bank…?! #3 WHY would anyone with a BRAIN put random people in charge of withdrawing monies from your account?! #4 Even is they ‘stole’ $100 it’s YOUR FAULT for hiring, entrusting or not being aware of your finances….. DAMMMM this LAME wants attention! Cause his ‘career’ is on life support…… where’s that THIEF SugeKnight…I mean ‘advisor’?!@!?
Lets be real. For someone to not miss $60 milop, and only find out because of someone else’s investigation, is bulls#@t!!!!! He would’ve had, to have been worth in upwards of 2-300 mil at the very least, to not notice that. Which he’s Nowhere close too period. Think people, you can’t tell me that if you had $300.00 and $60 came up missing you wouldn’t know it.
Got more money than your broke ass.
$59M? Lol what a fucking comedian. Dude haven’t seen that much money in his life.
