After Katt Williams managed to get himself arrested three times within three days while in Seattle to perform at various standup comedy shows, he has finally had enough and announced his retirement. His last arrest came on Sunday, December 2nd, after he allegedly threaten people inside of a bar with a pool cue and flicked a lit cigarette at a woman which hit her in the eye. He has been rejected from staying in 4 hotels due to his reckless behavior but still has a court date pending and can't leave Seattle until it's settled. So, Katt has offered to pay $301,000 until his Thursday, December 6th, court date arrives, so that he and his family can stay on the Washington State Ferry Rhododendron.

The KOMO 4 TV station caught up with Katt and spoke to him about his current situation and his retirement.

"If they will accept our bid... I will take me and my whole staff on that boat because I still have a court date four days from now and can't leave and I've been kicked out of four hotels in two days and I've been arrested by three different sets of officers four different times detained by two sets of officers. I can stay there [on the ferry] and my family can be there and my dogs can be there and my whole staff can be there until we get done suing Seattle for this $50 million that I want for crippling my reputation as a father and a black man and as a taxpaying citizen and as a person who is not a convicted felon.

"This was a place I like to bring my kids and let them do stuff without people caring who they were. I got arrested in front my kids three times in my three days stay in Seattle... And all we were doing was coming into town to sell jokes and police department painted me as some sort of public menace that came to town. I'm just gonna go ahead and announce my retirement from standup, I'm kinda done. I've discussed it with my kids, I wasn't gonna do it in the middle of a Seattle street, I was going to go to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or LiveNation."

Those of you who scream “conspiracy theorists” need to do your own research on what’s really going on in the world because not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy theory. But as for Katt Williams this is simply a man ‘falling from grace’. When you’re someone who don’t have discipline and have a troubled spirit you’re just going to do wrong, period. This man is mixing with the wrong crowd and obviously hitting whatever drug or drugs pretty hard. None of you know what has lead this man down the wrong path. To see this man shed a tear as he openly (for the media and masses) state he’s retiring screams a man who needs help mentally, physically, and spiritually. For many of you to laugh at him as if you’re perfect is only asking for trouble times to come knocking on your door. Hollywood isn’t for everyone. Example, Dave Chappelle, he had to leave the country because it was getting that crazy; fans, politics of Hollywood, that circle he was mingling in, media, money and much more…people, we all don’t know our breaking point in life, and life can beat you down till you can’t get up. Regardless of who he is, Katt doesn’t need your finger pointing or negative energy….he needs your prayers

You guys are dilusional or stupid. The only real footage of lately is him HIGH as fuck on stage. They set him up. He didn't want to do what they where asking, and he probably got warned that they were gonna ruin his career. Think about it, the drugs that are in "the game" nowadays are not heroin and crack. Yes he was on drugs a few times, but damn WHY would he retire??? I bet any money if he didn't retire we would see a blog about him being dead a few months from now.

Damn Katt...you done let the fame get to you and now you retiring B...sad to see the man go. I was hoping we would get a few more years out of him but its probably best because he didnt look like he was handling the fame to well as of lately. I think it was to much pressure for the god. Salute to a real G tho!
