Last month, we shared some shocking footage of comedic actor Katt Williams. Shocking may be a bit of an exaggeration, as his behavior for the past year or so has been a bit odd to say the least. But specifically, I’m referring to the camera footage of him slapping the Target employee. While many of us (*raises hand*) jumped to conclusion(s), blaming the incident on Katt’s erratic behavior, he (Katt) says he has perfectly good reason as to why he laid hands on dude (his name is Forrest Liebenberg). During one of his comedy sets, he explained the entire ordeal. He explained:

“This is what the dude at Target said … ‘Your assistant is already suing you, you p**sy ass n***er.”

Katt said he flipped when he heard the slur and asked the employee,

“Did you just say the n-word in front of Katt Williams?”

The employee responds:

to which the employee answered, “You say it all the time.”

Katt responds:

“Say it again and see what happens”

And the rest is slap history. Meanwhile, Target did fire the employee, but never explained why he was terminated. Some speculated that the alleged slap victim was fired because he leaked the footage to the press. No official comment has been released from the victim. Here’s footage of Katt explaining what went down.
