Katt Williams is facing more than social media criticism for punching a 17-year-old after a game of pick-up soccer last week.
WSB-TV2 Atlanta reports that the comedian is being formally charged with disorderly conduct and a bond violation.
Luke Walsh, the teenager who brawled with Williams, is also said to be charged with disorderly conduct. Witnesses say that the comedian was very friendly to the rest of the crowd at the soccer fields and even handed out money. They back Williams’ story that he was incited to punch Walsh because he was trash talking the comedian.
“It was Luke’s fault to be honest,” Alexander Villanueva says.
Law enforcement says each party is being held responsible for his role in the altercation.
“They both played roles in this altercation,” police Captain Kevin Holbroke says. “They both should have known. You’d think Mr. Williams, (a person) of his age, would know better than to pick a fight with a 17-year-old, but they both played active roles in this case.”
Williams is also facing charges for threatening his bodyguard.
A robbery case where he and Suge Knight allegedly stole a celebrity photographer’s camera in 2014 is ongoing as well.

After 17-year-old Luke Walsh shared his side of the story where he was in a confrontation with Katt Williams, the comedian decided to give his perspective of what happened when he got beat up after a game of pick-up soccer.
According to TMZ, Williams addressed the backyard brawl that went viral last week at a show yesterday (March 25) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In his stand-up routine, he says that he fought the teenager to teach him a lesson about smack talking.
“I just want you to have a bloody mouth so that you can have that lesson later, that that’s what happens when you say slick shit to grown-ass men,” Williams says, “’cause maybe them niggas can’t teach you that, but a nigga that can hit you is also a nigga that can pull out a gun and blow your mothafuckin brains out. Why would you put yourself in that position just because you lost a soccer game? But clearly, you probably don’t have no father to teach you that, so bam, you can take that lesson right there. But because I’m a real nigga, I’m only gonna give you that one punch and then you can do whatever you want to do.”
The comedian says that Walsh was trash talking him the entire time they were playing and that the 17-year-old appeared older than his age.
“I thought the nigga was 19 the whole time ’cause the nigga was smoking a cigarette like me, nigga was tall as me, and me and him was the only people on the soccer courts that was cussing,” he says. “I was trying not to cuss because people was recording. But he was saying fuck shit. I was like, ‘Ok.’ I’m like, ‘I like this little boy. He got heart.’ He talked shit about me all game.”
Williams says he tried to control himself, especially because of his recent run-ins with the law including being arrested for threatening his body guard. But he says the trouble kept escalating.
“He said some slick shit and I said, ‘Aye, you know you can’t win this game, so why would you say, ‘Fuck me?'” he says. “And he said, ‘What you gonna do about it?’ I said, ‘Listen, you know I’m in trouble with the motherfucking law. You see all these people recording. But just understand if I can take your ass around this motherfucking corner, I’ll explain to you you don’t talk to grown niggas like that.'”
Williams says the fact that nobody stood up for Walsh as the confrontation got heated created more reason for the comedian to put him in his place.
“All these people in the hood, nobody’s coming, not one person in your hood is gonna step in front and go, ‘Katt, don’t knock this baby out,'” he says. “I’m looking around at all these faces and everybody looking like, ‘Knock that nigga out, Katt. That nigga’s a menace to the community.'”
Williams also addresses those who criticized or mocked him for being put in a choke hold by Walsh, who was a wrestler for two years. He says that his physical capabilities should not be questioned because he served time in the Marines.
“I’m Semper Fi til I die,” he says. “Marine Corps, bitch. I passed motherfucking boot camp at 16. I don’t give a fuck what you say about nothing.”

Katt Williams made headlines again yesterday (March 23) when he got into a brawl with a 17-year-old.
The teenager, Luke Walsh, shared his side of the story with the Daily News. He explains that Williams came and joined a game of pick-up soccer before the altercation ensued. Walsh says that he and the comedian spat because of a typical sports confrontation.
“Stuff happens in sports with guys,” Walsh says.
He then breaks down what happened in the video of him and Williams that went viral.
“He took me over to a secluded area and he asked me to hit him,” Walsh says. “I was like, ‘I’m not just gonna hit you. You want it with me, square up.’ Then he sucker punched me so I did what I did.”
Walsh claims he wrestled for two years and that’s why he knew how to approach Williams. He says he was not harmed in the incident.
“It wasn’t even nothing,” he says. “My face is just a little swole, but it wasn’t nothing.”
After the brawl, Williams greeted and took pictures with his fans, but not Walsh.
“I tried to shake his hand and he was, ‘back off little boy,'” the teenager says. “I don’t know if he was sour or something.”
Williams also got in a fight earlier this month at a Beanie Sigel concert.

Katt Williams recently found himself in a brawl with a teenager.
Actor/comedian Katt Williams has taken yet another L this year due to his extreme inability to keep his hands to himself. This time, Williams was taken down by someone who appears to be a teenager named Luke.
Video posted earlier today (March 23), shows the encounter between Williams and the teen, from beginning to end.
At the start of the video, the comedian can be heard saying “Well, then you know what to do then” to the teen, who stands directly in front of him. Seconds later, Williams punches the teen in the face.
From there, the two can be seen tussling on the ground while onlookers request that they “chill” and “stop fighting.” At this point, Williams is in a chokehold at the hands of the teen who ultimately submits to requests that he let go.
Williams found himself in another losing predicament weeks ago at the hands of several onlookers at a Beanie Sigel concert. Similar to this week’s standoff with young Luke, Williams struck first and quickly found himself on the losing end of that encounter.
Video of Katt Williams’ latest brawl, can be found below.

Look at Katt still running his stupid mouth as he is tapping out and AFTER the dude gets off him. This dude lives for sucker punches and surprise punches and consistently gets his ass beat after. and shout outs to that shirt with Comic Sans font on it. he’s a living, walking L.

Smdh,brother try to do something good and still gets criticized
Yo, why is Katt hanging out with teenagers? #TeenStalker
It’s not even funny anymore. He’s gonna end up dead soon. He’s trying to destroy himself, obviously.
You just hyping this up for views. Major L? He was wrestling around in the grass. Katt Williams is a little dude anyways. That whole scrap didn’t go down. Teen had him in the submission move, he didn’t really beat his ass. Katt probably hit him and then expected that to be it, didn’t expect the Teen to fight back or their to be an actual fight. Anyways, I thought teens were innocent children that couldn’t fight adults, shout out to Treyvon
Stop making excuses for yourself and get some help
Matt Williams is a legend! Fuck Kevin Hart bitch ass nigga
Yo who matt? I need to check this dude out?
I was embarrassed for him when it was over and he was doing the “i’m trying to make this look as cool as i can” pose and staying on the ground like it wasn’t nothing. Dude got handled by a 7th grader, the kid had to show mercy or Katt would’ve been snoozing. I wouldn’t care but Katt be acting too hard for his size man, I honestly think my girl would give him a run for his money one on one.
for a moment there I thought the teen was about to put the chris benoit finisher move on katt.
smh…..got handled by a lil boy.. he lucky he didn’t go get his brothers
Daniel Harling is bae.
This guy is either down with the brotherhood and creating theses situations to distract the mindless or they have chiped him because this is what happened to dmx.
They are making him pay for exposing them and declaring war.
Becareful what you ask for
Totally agree with you 100%
Or, maybe the nigga is just doing drugs too much. Haven’t you ever seen a fiend? They’re not always foaming at the mouth and wearing raggedy clothes. Sometimes they’re just doing inexplicably dumb shit every day. It’s pretty common.
LmaoWhy in the hell is Williams hanging round a big group of middle schoolers anyway ….I still fux w him tho cuz at least he ain’t no punk, and he will swang on anybody. I honestly believe he would want on Tyson lmao ….he just needs to realize that he’s only four feet
Where are all the dumb idiots with their Illuminati nonsense? Dumb asses, pick up a book and learn something meaningful
you don’t need to open up a book to see whats in front of you, you need to open your eyes in this day and age, however reading will help absorbing knowlege
you don’t need to open up a book to see whats in front of you, you need to open your eyes in this day and age, however reading will help absorbing knowledge
this dude is so exploited now that the young generation is treating him like some homeless crackhead.
ffs Katt, what in the fuck are u doing around a bunch of kids and then losing your cool like like that? Its becoming hard to feel sorry for this nigga anymore.
When you get in someones face and say what you gonna do about it, you asked for it.
He was doing community service
Who fucking cares honestly
Danielle Harling takes it up the ass
Nobody got DUSTED you fucking son of a wh=o=re. That “kid” whos bigger than Katt, was in his FACE trying to start shit. Dont start nun it wont be none. Dude didnt even get one punch in on Katt. FOH You Imbeciles. You are not Humans!
Are you retarded, he got choked the fuck out and asked his people to get the kid off of him.
There is a difference between getting choked out and being put in hold. If katt got choked out he wouldve been passed out. The internet needs to stop trying to spin this shit a certain way.
vvvv Lol what up Katt why you lettin kids dust you son
is Katt Williams a rapper?
He actually use to be with Dipset. He use to have the bird chain and everything. This was back in the day tho. Like mid 2000s.
He got some mediocre flow
If Katt had beat this kid up the media would have gone crazy Katt is on some messed up drugs he need help before the devils kill him they have laced his drug of choice and its playing out in front of us
All of y’all in the comments are dumb look on DJ Akademiks channel for the video.
can’t wait when I finally die.
Black people be like, 7th grader 17 year old Bruh….
Katt is a sneaky lil bitch He struck first He stands a better chance fighting women Theyre in the same league Ilike his comedy thou
Katt is a idiot, but I always like his comedy. But man, the video is hard to watch. Can’t recover from something like that. I don’t see how. Hard to take him serious now smh.
Katt now should meet the “Real Nigga”. (No offense lil boy) This kid handle it like a man.
That kid was about to choke him out it was game over. That punch was weak af too, why start fights when you dont inow what your going to do?
Choking someone out is when tbey pass out… He had him in a hold and that was it. In fact that kid probably panicked
DAMN WHAT THE F**K IS IT GONNA BE!! IS HE 13, 15, OR 17!! WHERE MY BLOOD PRESSURE PILLS
Is this ComedyDX now? Where’s my Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock news?
1) The issue with teenagers is they feel they can say and do as they please. Including disrespecting older people. Katg shouldve hit him harder. Dont come at someone older and say ” what you gonna do about it” and then say you were sucker punched. Little dumb ass nigga what did you expect when you say shit like that. Regardless if he is 17 if someone his age disrespects you in fron of your people like that what you gonna do? Ignore it and walk away knowing this kid challenegd you and made you look dumb? You want to act like a man then youll get treated as one. A lot of you are bashing katt williams for this but wait until the day you reach a certain age and some little punk disrespects you like that. Most of you arent even the age of 21 to even understand that concept which is why you talk shit about katt.
2) if im standing in front of you and punch you in the face thats not a fucking sucker punch. Why does this new generation consider everythinf a sucker punch? Thats the new thing now to avoid taking an L. Just call it a sucker punch.
Im with Katt all the Way I was 17 and a bad mf at that age but that dude was taller than Katt AND was trying to start shit with him… you can clearly see the boy all in Katt’s face and threating him. I would’ve punched that dude too
Then you are a gigantic pussy.. Men don’t sucker punch children
Katy Williams………..u a bitch.
“I thought the nigga was 19 the whole time ’cause the nigga was smoking a cigarette like me, nigga was tall as me” going by that if there the same height he should have thought the kid was 11
and that’s the reason these nowadays teenagers gettin murdered by cops. nowadays teenagers actin mad disrespectful and wild toward all people. so that means they are just askin for sum bullets from cops.
free beats and better songs than these 2 trash ass rapperst at: https://soundcloud.com/daheadcutta
Can somebody… anybody… a dead body… please explain to me why it took katt so long to get his ass off the ground
Katt needs an intervention. He’s slipping, along with Dmx. So much talent but so many issues!
for ppl to say Katt took an L is ridiculous..first off he didnt even get beat up, just contained..secondly the 17 year old is bigger and way more youthful, plus wrestling background, i mean what yall expect?
I don’t think the attributes of the 17 year old really fucking matter. Why the hell was he involved with this in the first place? Contained, beat up, took an L, who cares? Kat Williams is a grown man and out of his mind for allowing this to happen to him.
Oh trust me hes taking L after L after L after L got fucked up at the beanie concert multiple drug charges and other felonious charges for holding a body guard hostage with 2 nasty disgusting back alley crack wh*res and now this a charge for beating a minor so 3 violent incidents in a row along with drug charges yea this guys going to prison for a few years wonder how he will fair against the inmates considering he cant even beat a 17 year old punk with a little bit of wrestling experience lol cant believe he got choked out like that i wrestled for 5 years and golden glove boxed for 8 years and have friends into MMA fighting styles who i have trained with and to give up your back so easily and just take it hes a total bitch lol funny guy though should just stick to comedy and keep his dumbass farfetched cracked/methed out opinions to himself lol
Dude he sucker punched a child…he got dropped and put in a rear naked choke…he was finished. How is that not an L? If he would have ko’d the kid, its still an L! He punched a fuckin kid!
Why I posted this at 2:32 pm and it said 7:31am?
What a waste of the courts time. Seriously!!!
This nigga Katt need Suge back to bring some stability to his life
My wiener fucking stings when I pee!
