The infamous roast between Wanda Smith and Cat Williams has been a topic of intense discussion, especially with recent revelations from both sides. Wanda Smith recently reflected on the roast, stating that she didn’t engage in a back-and-forth with Cat Williams because of the respect she had for him. According to Smith, she didn’t want to argue or escalate the situation, as that wasn’t how she intended to communicate.
However, many are questioning whether this was truly the case. During the roast, Wanda Smith reportedly made several pointed remarks about Cat Williams, including comments about his appearance and personal life. From calling him “little” to making disparaging remarks about his hair, clothes, and even his family, Smith’s comments seemed to contradict her current claims of respect.
In a revealing 2024 interview on Club Sh Shay, Cat Williams addressed the roast, alleging that Wanda Smith’s goal was to humiliate him. Williams expressed that the roast turned contentious when Smith broke the agreed-upon boundaries by discussing sensitive topics, such as his legal troubles and personal life. Williams claimed that Smith’s remarks were a direct violation of their agreement and accused her of intentionally trying to undermine him.
The roast’s drama didn’t stop there. Wanda Smith’s attempt to criticize Cat Williams’ appearance was met with Williams’ sharp comebacks. When Smith criticized his hair, Williams responded by showcasing his natural hair length and calling out her fashion choices. The back-and-forth continued with Williams calling out Smith’s jewelry and clothing, turning the roast into a spectacle of personal attacks.
Smith’s provocative comments about Williams’ personal life, including his children and legal issues, struck a nerve with the comedian. Williams had previously shared that he had been arrested numerous times but had never been convicted, and he was sensitive about any mention of his children. Smith’s disregard for these boundaries was a major point of contention for Williams.
Adding fuel to the fire, Wanda Smith’s career took a hit following the roast. In 2019, she was fired from her radio position at V103 Atlanta, with many speculating that the roast and her subsequent comments played a significant role in her dismissal. The incident reportedly affected her reputation and career, and some believe it contributed to her career decline.
Moreover, there was a confrontation involving Smith’s husband, Lamor Sers, who allegedly threatened Cat Williams after the roast. Although Lamor denied the threat and the situation was never fully resolved, it further complicated the fallout from the roast.
Wanda Smith’s recent comments about the roast have reignited the debate over whether her actions led to her career troubles or if there were other factors at play. With both sides offering differing perspectives, it remains unclear whether the roast was the sole reason for Smith’s career downturn or if other issues were involved.
