*Comedian Bobb’e J. Thompson claims Tracy Morgan grabbed him by the collar and reprimanded him at age 7 for stealing scenes during his time on “The Tracy Morgan Show.”
Morgan played his father on the 2000s sitcom, and Thompson claims he’s still traumatized by the incident. He recalled the experience during his appearance on the web series Comedy Hype, Complex reports.
“I remember being a kid, bro, on a certain set, bro, and the star of this certain project that I was working on, the n***a got mad at me,” Thompson said without mentioning Morgan.
“I’m just a 7-year-old kid just doing my job, bro. He got mad at me, bro, grabbed me by my collar, and was like, ‘Who the f*ck is on that sign, my n***a?’ That’s how he handled me.”
Thompson said the actor warned him to stop “hamming it up” in scenes, adding that when Morgan later did an interview, he “acted like it was all good, like, ‘Oh yeah, if he’s stealing a scene, then that’s what it should be. I only want the best,'” Thompson recalled. “But, n***a, that’s cap, that ain’t the truth, that ain’t how you felt for real, because you took me, as a 7-year-old child, and made me feel bad for doing my job well.”

“I’m 7 years old and this person… Everything that I’m doing, I’m doing it because I’m watching you, I’m learning from you. And I think I’m doing something right,” Thompson said.
Thompson verified at the show’s end that the individual in question was Morgan.
“I ain’t ducking nothin’. Yeah, it’s Tracy Morgan,” he said.
