Several prominent event organisers canceled scheduled appearances by comedian Reggie Watts following a report by Rolling Stone concerning reports that he used drugs and mistreated his late girlfriend. His planned performances at different locations were swiftly cancelled once the article published. Additionally, the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast chose to replace his theme song from future episodes. Entertainment outlets including Variety and Rolling Stone Australia kept reporting on venues cutting ties with him and radio stations removing his music, following allegations in the piece as a major user of ketamine.
