Adelaide comedian Alex ‘Shooter’ Williamson dumped after vile rant over abuse claims

Adelaide comedian Alex Williamson has been dumped by his management company and the Sydney Comedy Festival after a foul-mouthed response to an ex-girlfriend’s disturbing abuse accusations.

Adelaide comedian Alex “Shooter” Williamson has been dumped by his management company and the Sydney Comedy Festival after a furious and foul-mouthed social media response to an ex-girlfriend’s abuse accusations.

More Talent broke ties with the 32-year-old stand-up comic after he revealed explicit details of his relationship with singer Peach PRC and accused her of being jealous of his TikTok following and trying to “deplatform him”.

Peach had earlier, on social media, accused Williamson of abusive behaviour.

“He is abusive, manipulative and predatory, and has done absolutely vile things, not only to myself but others who I won’t mention for their privacy,” she wrote.

She also accused him of “grooming and abusing young, vulnerable women and girls”.

“I’m not scared of you Alex,” she wrote. “Your empty threats are pathetic, and I won’t be silenced anymore.

“I didn’t speak up enough last time and still carry so much guilt that it lead (sic) to someone else being hurt.”

The claims sparked an explosive response from Williamson, who took to Instagram to lash not only Peach but also another former girlfriend, who had not confronted him publicly.

He claimed Peach “threw herself” at him when she was 19 and he was 29, and went on to offer vivid and explicit details of their sex life.

PedestrianTV reported that in expletive-filled rants, Williamson savaged Peach’s character, and offered lurid descriptions of a sexual nature, which are not fit for publication here.

He also referenced another former partner, saying: “Girls, you wanted me, girls. I’m a f...in’, I’m a loveable character. I don’t blame you for throwin’ yourselves.”

For good measure, Williamson added: “F...in’ hell, f..k off you bitches.”

Williamson denied any wrongdoing, saying: “I don’t know what the abuse is. I don’t know what the predatory behaviour is they’re talking about.”

Williamson’s outbursts were anything but a laughing matter for his management company.

Pedestrian reported that in a leaked email, More Talent director Andrew Taylor labelled Williamson’s Instagram posts “completely inappropriate” and “unacceptable” and said that “we do not and cannot be seen to condone behaviour such as is alleged, nor the tone or content of his responses”.

Taylor later confirmed: “In light of recent unacceptable events, More Talent have terminated our relationship with Alex Williamson.”

Williamson was also due to play two shows at The Sydney Comedy Festival in two weeks time but when contacted by News Corp they confirmed his slots had been cancelled.

“Confirming that in light of recent events, the Sydney Comedy Festival has withdrawn Alex Williamson’s show from its program. Ticketholders will be contacted with more information soon,” the statement read.

The social media exchange is not the only volatile incident in which Williamson has been involved over the past year.

In October, during a show in Adelaide’s Rhino Room, he kicked over a heckler’s drink and subjected him to a verbal tirade.

“I’m so glad they’re (the heckler’s parents) dead, so they didn’t get to see their son evolve into such a f...ing useless sack of shit,” he yelled. “Guess what, my comedy’s above your f..ing head, c...t.”

The comedian later admitted he had gone too far and told fans he was seeking professional help.

In March, Williamson was punched by a heckler in a Rockhampton pub after he tipped a beer over the man’s head.

The heckler had continually interrupted the show and refused to leave.

Williamson later said that when the man had climbed on stage, he had presumed he was going to return fire with a beer of his own.

“He went the cheeky left, the c..t, and got me,” he said.
