After a series of missed gigs, an arrest on a gun charge and weeks of troubling rumors about bizarre behavior, a spokesperson for comedian Katt Williams announced on Sunday that the “Norbit” co-star has sought a doctor’s help.
“Following an arduous 300 shows and an 18-month touring schedule that left him incredibly fatigued, Katt, a veteran of MTV’s ‘Wild ‘N Out,’ felt compelled to be with his family in an effort to deal with his stress,” read a statement from Yvette Shearer. “While doing so, he is under a doctor’s care.”

The paper reported that Sumter police received a call Friday morning about suspicious behavior by Williams, 35, who was attempting to book a room at the Mount Vernon Inn.

Police responded to the scene, spoke to Williams, determined there was no criminal activity and left.
Local station WIS-TV has posted a video of a confused-looking Williams trying to check into the hotel, searching his pockets for ID and squatting by the door after the clerk informs him that his traveling companion will have to take responsibility for the room.
The newspaper reported that Williams then walked several blocks to the office of local attorney Garryl Deas and told the lawyer that the police were “attempting to violate his rights” and that he was interested in hiring Deas to represent him. Deas said he had a pleasant conversation with Williams, who described his entertainment career to the lawyer, mentioning that some people thought he was missing recently due to a series of skipped gigs, including a no-show at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, a missed “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” appearance and an arrest on November 6 on gun charges. Williams was also recently the subject of a rumor that he had died in a plane crash…
