Katt Williams Fought to Remove Rape Scene from 'Friday After Next'

The comedian, in his acting debut, argued against the scene, stating 'rape is never funny', and also addressed casting disputes and accusations of joke theft.

Comedian Katt Williams revealed in a recent podcast interview that he fought to have a rape scene involving his character removed from the 2002 film 'Friday After Next'.
Williams, who was relatively new in Hollywood at the time, argued that the scene was inappropriate for a comedy film, stating 'rape is never funny'.
The scene was ultimately removed from the film, which marked Williams' acting debut.
Williams also addressed claims by fellow comedian Rickey Smiley that he was originally supposed to play Williams' role in the film, stating that he was the only one who auditioned for the role of Money Mike.
In the same interview, Williams reiterated his accusation that Cedric the Entertainer stole one of his jokes, a claim that Cedric has denied.
