The audience booed him off.
According to Seales, Knight also commented Looking good, Precious to Sloan as he exited the stage.
Sloan tweeted about this exchange afterward.
Called me Precious when he got offstage.
He fat shamed me cuz he bombed.
He had been verbally attacking me all day.
@amandasealesand the other comics defended me before the panel.
The entire exchange can be viewed below.
Seales has an idea, though.
You fucked up at#JFLtonight big time.
Southern Mama was racist, the blowout was homophobic.
Hey@Variety, YouTube stars arent comics.
Without the white supremacist trope of diplomacy!!!
Fuck you white nigga and u glad@SamJayComicwasn’t there.
Weve reached out to Knights reps for comment and will update if we hear back.
I will NEVER let anything or anyone come between me an my beliefs.
I will stand for what I believe in and will not falter.
Im not perfect by no means but I be damned if I will be lied about etc.
Dont believe everything you read about me cause haters are legit these days folks!
