Comedy Bang! Drops Watts' Music After Disturbing Report

The theme song for "Comedy Bang! Bang!", created by Reggie Watts, was removed on Monday, replaced with generic introductory music. This change follows a Rolling Stone report detailing serious accusations against the comedian-musician. Watts has also been removed from the scheduled lineups of the Shambala and Greenbelt Festivals in England.

These events occurred after a report alleged that Watts encouraged his late ex-girlfriend, Katherine McCollough, to use a significant amount of drugs, including ketamine. Friends of McCollough claim that Watts' behavior was reckless and contributed to her developing a ketamine addiction and subsequent death by suicide in March. Watts' attorney has refuted these claims, stating they are "dangerously false."

Further accusations from five women who previously dated Watts include allegations of him encouraging drug use and disregarding boundaries. One woman claims Watts recorded an explicit video of her without consent, and another stated he initiated sex without a condom despite knowing he had an STD. Watts' legal representative denies any abusive behavior, though he has not directly commented on these specific accusations.
