00:00Now, the story is being flipped totally about the truth and what happened.
00:07That you, that he, that you hit him.
00:09That's what now I'm hearing is word on the street that I'm an attacker now or something.
00:15Why do you think he's saying that?
00:17He doesn't want to go to jail, probably most likely.
00:19I mean, it is an assault.
00:21Yeah.
00:22And at the same time, there are witnesses who saw what happened, but he also has people
00:28who are willing to lie for him as well.
00:30Yeah.
00:31Is there a camera at the laugh factory?
00:33There's cameras all over the improv and that is the footage that we're talking about.
00:38The footage shows Corey Holtam reaching over two people and punching me, punching me out
00:43and my whole head goes back and it's a whole horrible whiplash thing.
00:49It's horrible.
00:50It's like he punches me at 30 miles an hour over the security guard and another person
00:54who's trying to keep him away from me.
00:56Right.
00:57It's horrible.
00:58When you see it, when you see the footage, you, it's going to change your life.
01:02Why do you think he's lying?
01:04He doesn't want to get in trouble slash he just got put on a new tour, so of course there's
01:09money that is going to be made and I guess he doesn't want to lose it.
01:15And then he's saying that I'm trying to, you know, mess his, his career up or whatever,
01:21but it's like.
01:22When, where does this speech start?
01:24Like what?
01:25Where and when?
01:27Yeah.
01:28Well.
01:29And why?
01:30From 12 years ago is more from when it initially started when he wanted me to be his cohost
01:34on his radio show and I flew out here to come meet with him and he got me a hotel room and
01:42then was mad.
01:43I didn't let him come upstairs and he wanted to have sex and I was like, uh, no sir, I'm
01:48sorry.
01:49I don't mess with married men.
01:50I'm sorry.
01:51So after that he had nothing to do with me ever again.
01:55Years later I'm doing comedy and succeeding and now he's mad.
02:01So last June he jumped into my conversation I was having with another comedian in June,
02:10late June.
02:11He said, then I will super sock this bitch.
02:15If anybody loves her, come get her.
02:19Take her away from me right now.
02:21So that was in June.
02:22He didn't finally hit me until December.
02:25Do you have witnesses?
02:26Yes.
02:27About him having that conversation?
02:28Yes.
02:29Yes.
02:30Are you going to bring those people in?
02:31Yes.
02:32Knowing that the laugh factory has this footage, is he banned from the laugh factory?
02:35Well, it's the improv.
02:36I'm sorry.
02:37The improv.
02:38Knowing the improv has this footage, is he banned from the improv?
02:41Yes.
02:42He's been banned from the improv.
02:43Um, and also if anybody were to see any sightings of him, they're like, please report because
02:49he's been trespassed.
02:50Yes.
02:51By the police.
02:52Yes.
02:53So people are even like, if you have any sightings of him, please report.
