Popular comedian Mo'Nique recently shared a heartwarming story about fellow artist Katt Williams that many people may not know about. She revealed that Williams had opened up his home to provide care for Moesha actress Yvette Wilson before she passed away in 2012.
During a recent Instagram Live video, Mo'Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, were discussing Williams when they mentioned this touching gesture. Wilson, known for her role as Andell Wilkerson on the television shows Moesha and The Parkers, which also starred Mo'Nique, sadly lost her battle with stage 4 cervical cancer and kidney disease in 2012.
Mo'Nique once again stood up for Williams, who has faced criticism in the past, in the video clip. She expressed, "I want to say this about our brother Katt Williams. Throughout the years, I would hear things like, 'He won't show up to shows, he's not reliable.' But let me tell you, he is one of the purest souls in this industry."
The couple were discussing "TRUTH, ACCOUNTABILITY, & TRAUMA" when Mo'Nique turned her attention to Williams and asked for his permission to share the kind act he did for a fellow human being in need. Wilson, who was also a comedian and appeared in House Party 2, House Party 3, and Friday, needed financial assistance for her medical care.
A friend of Wilson's, Jeffrey Pittle, started an online fundraiser on giveforward.com (now acquired by GoFundMe) to raise $25,000 for her medical expenses. However, the website only managed to raise 56% of the target amount. Mo'Nique then revealed that Williams stepped in and took care of Wilson until she passed away. According to Atlanta Black Star, Williams donated $12,000 to the cause. Mo'Nique shared, "There was a woman named Yvette Wilson, who played Andell on 'The Parkers,' and when Andell fell ill, it was Katt Williams who stepped in and took care of her until she passed away."
The video ended with Mo'Nique expressing her gratitude towards Williams and acknowledging him as a kind and generous person. The couple's discussion on truth, accountability, and trauma shed light on Williams' selfless act, proving that he is indeed a pure and genuine individual in the entertainment industry.
