Katt Williams Sued Over Portland Assault

The driver just filed a lawsuit...

According to the lawsuit, Wali Kanani claims Williams, six other people and a "large, aggressive German Shepherd," met him at an airport hangar around 11 p.m. after they got off a private jet. Williams insisted the dog ride in the passenger's seat of Kanani's 2017 GMC Yukon XL Denali, the driver said in the suit.
Kanani, 38, said when he told Williams he wasn't comfortable with the dog sitting up front and told him the pet would have to ride in the back, Williams called him a "piece of (expletive)" and "white trash" and then punched him in the face.
The lawsuit said Williams and his dog chased Kanani as the driver ran to the airport terminal. Kanani got there first and locked the glass door to keep them away from him, the court papers said.
"(Williams) stood on the other side giving (Kanani) menacing and threatening glares for several minutes before he left in another car that had arrived to take (Williams) and his colleagues away," the lawsuit said. Kanani called 911 and was taken to Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in Tualatin.
Kanani is seeking $76,000 in damages.
