In 2016, Angelina Triplett-Hill sued Katt Williams for a 2014 incident on a film set during which he beat her unconscious and left her with lingering injuries.

Triplett-Hill claimed she was working as the comedian's assistant at the time of the beating.

Williams ignored the case, so the judge awarded Triplett-Hill a $1.7 million default settlement.

That got his attention, and his legal team went to work.

They were able to prove that Triplett-Hill never went to the hospital or the police for her claimed "injuries," nor did she ever work as his assistant, producing the woman who really was his assistant during that time.

Ultimately, the judge dismissed the case.

“At trial, we argued that the plaintiff had created a false narrative of working for Katt as his assistant and faked the incident. The plaintiff tried to play on the jurors’ emotions, supposed “power imbalances,” and did everything she could to try to bring in irrelevant and prejudicial evidence about Katt. Judge Snyder excluded it all," Williams lawyer Jeremiah Reynolds.  "Katt did nothing wrong and would never pay the woman a cent."
