Bernie Mac's daughter, Je’Niece McCullough, weighed in on Katt Williams' recent controversial interview with Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast. During the discussion, Williams accused Steve Harvey of hating on the late comedian and trying to take his role on Ocean's 11. In response, McCullough labeled the interview "hilarious" and praised Williams for seeming like a "stand-up dude."
"I just want people to keep in mind that my dad has been dead for fifteen years [and] I have not been fully immersed in the world of comedy… I don’t know Katt Williams — never met him. That’s one person I never did get to meet when my dad was alive," she said. "But from everything that I’ve ever heard my dad say, he’s always seemed like a stand-up dude. So I have no qualms, no quarrels with him."

From there, McCullough added: "Well, it’s because everybody doesn’t get along. I think that’s one of the misconceptions about comedians, and I guess it’s due to the fact that what they do brings so much joy… Everybody thinks that behind closed doors, it’s all love and nah. It’s not. They’ve always been competitive." Check out her full comments on the podcast below.
