Katt Williams' Indianapolis Show Cut Short After Bloody Audience Brawl — WATCH
Katt Williams' Saturday stand-up show in Indianapolis was cut short after a bloody brawl took place in the venue's upper level.
Bloodied fans and security escorted attendees out of the venue after a large fight broke out, according to reports, at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum during "The Dark Matter" tour. An audience member can be heard saying in a TikTok video, "He hit that girl."
A rep for the comedian told TMZ that there were only about five minutes left in his routine before the fight occurred, but the show did end early after the dispute.
Williams, 52, could be heard in one video calling it quits after the fight, thanking the audience for supporting him during the sold-out show.
"Thank y'all for coming. God bless you," he said. "Have a good night." His statement was met with audience groaning and disappointment.
James Herron told IndyStar he and his wife, Tierra, were on their way out of the venue to avoid a fight with two men. Herron, 35, told the outlet he saw one of the men taking a swing at his wife after he heard the guy's friend encourage him to fight Herron.
"He said, 'You should really knock him out," Herron remembered. "I couldn't pay attention to Katt Williams' performance because of everything; it kept going on. I wasn't sitting there arguing with him. The guy was trying to irritate me."
"By the time I got down there, everything was going left. I tried to get her out of there," he recalled. "He came around, and once a punch was thrown that was that."
"I don't know why security didn't dismiss them the first time," Tierra Herron said. "We tried to stay as long as possible because we were on a date night. We have three kids. We have jobs as well. And that was the first time my husband planned a date for me without me helping."
James did apologize to other attendees, acknowledging "We're here for a show and people pay their money for this, so I thought I should at least apologize; and at the same time give an account and tell people what was going on." He continued: "It was eating at me. I told my wife I had to say something."
The Herrons provided a statement to the police on site.
No arrests have been made.
