Cat Williams Roasts Black Hollywood Figures, Sparks Controversy Over Meghan Markle Comments

Comedian Cat Williams has stirred up a storm on social media following his candid three-hour interview with Shannon Sharpe, where he took aim at various black Hollywood personalities, leading to speculations about his remarks concerning Meghan Markle.

During the marathon appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shea Shea podcast, Williams didn't hold back as he called out prominent figures such as Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart, and P. Diddy, airing personal grievances and criticisms.

One of the notable call-outs was directed at Cedric the Entertainer, whom Williams accused of plagiarizing a joke he had created and performed verbatim during comedy sets and on BET's Comic View back in the 1990s.

The comedian also labeled Kevin Hart as an “industry plant,” insinuating that Hart's rise to fame was not organic, claiming that he already had movie deals upon arriving in Los Angeles, with no memorable sold-out shows to his name according to Hollywood insiders.

During the interview, Williams shared instances where he stood firm on his principles, recounting rejecting compromising offers for success.

He disclosed turning down a $50 million opportunity and refusing to engage in unethical practices to safeguard his integrity.

Moreover, Williams alleged that disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein once made inappropriate propositions to him, further shedding light on the darker side of the entertainment industry.

In a surprising revelation, Williams accused Steve Harvey of borrowing the premise of Mark Curry's sitcom “Hangin' with Mr. Cooper” for his own show, criticizing Harvey's acting abilities by stating that he lacked range and likening his appearance to that of Mr.

Potato Head.

Although Williams briefly mentioned Tyler Perry wearing dresses early in the interview, there was no direct mention of Meghan Markle.

Certain YouTube channels have since sensationalized claims that Williams targeted the Duchess of Sussex, spreading misinformation about the situation.

The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle's racial identity resurfaced in the aftermath of Williams' interview, echoing sentiments expressed by conservative commentator Candace Owens and talk show host Sharon Osbourne.

Owens suggested that Meghan's allegations of racism were questionable due to her perceived lack of visibly identifying as a woman of color.

Similarly, Osbourne, in a resurfaced clip from 2018, questioned Meghan's blackness, stating that she did not appear black to anyone, sparking debates on racial perceptions and identity.

Critics have accused Meghan of selectively invoking her biracial heritage to suit her narrative, branding her a “situationally black liar or fantasist.”

This perspective has incited backlash from supporters of the Duchess and Prince Harry, with the Sussex Squad fiercely defending their actions and decrying any criticism directed towards them.

The ongoing discourse highlights the complexities of racial identity and societal perceptions, underscoring the challenges faced by individuals navigating issues of race and privilege in the public eye.
