Several prominent event organisers pulled upcoming gigs featuring comedian Reggie Watts following a report by Rolling Stone regarding claims that he used drugs and treated his late partner poorly. His upcoming appearances across multiple venues were rapidly scrapped after the story broke. Additionally, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast decided to drop his theme song from its regular lineup. Industry news sites including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia have published ongoing updates about venues cutting ties with him and radio stations removing his music, following allegations in the piece as a heavy user of ketamine.
