Comedy Bang! Bang! Drops Reggie Watts Theme Song, Festivals Remove Him

Comedy Bang! Bang! has removed Reggie Watts' theme song, and festivals have dropped him from lineups following a Rolling Stone report accusing the comedian-musician of reckless behavior. The report detailed allegations from his late ex-girlfriend's loved ones. The podcast replaced Watts' improvisational intro with a generic voice Monday, without acknowledgment. Watts was also removed from Shambala and Greenbelt Festivals in England, and a Bristol show with collaborator CAPYAC was canceled. The removals follow allegations Watts encouraged ex-girlfriend Katherine McCollough's drug use. McCollough died by suicide in March. Five other exes made similar accusations. Watts' attorney denied responsibility for her death, calling the claims "dangerously false."
