Reggie Watts dropped from festivals after ex-girlfriend's family alleges reckless drug use

Comedian Reggie Watts has been dropped from multiple festivals and had his theme song removed from the Comedy Bang Bang podcast following allegations of reckless drug use in past relationships. The allegations stem from a Rolling Stone report featuring his ex-girlfriend Katherine McCollough, whose family claims her drug use increased while dating Watts and contributed to her suicide. Five other women also accused him of reckless behavior and two of emotional abuse. Watts' lawyer has denied the claims, calling them "dangerously false" and a "preconceived narrative." His UK festival appearances were cancelled, though US shows remain scheduled.
